Addoo Got myself a buell for something different. Not ridden the thing yet but am looking forward too when the salt dissapeares off the roads
Think the first major run out will be to the nw200 races in ireland which i think is may time
Oh by the way its an xb 1200ss
Seems a good forum so i got registered and here we are
Anyone in need of a big hp turbo hayabusa with all the right bits
Anything i need to look for with the buell guys n girls or are they pretty sorted
cheers

Welcome, they all seem a bit on here, so anyone with a turbo busa should fit right in.
I've got an xb12ss as well, 400miles so far, no problems yet .

Cheers, Richard.

Hi turbobusa
1 free spirits tensioner
2 change your wheel bearings every 5k
3 K&N airfilter
4 breather mod (DIY cheap an easy)
5 a decent exhaust can

change your gearbox oil every time you change the engine oil & filter

Buell stops your spanners rusting

Hi Turbobusa. New to buell meself. I also hope to make NW200 for the first time next year. I have read that it should be on May 15th

Hi all
Cheers for greetings and thanks for info. When you get 10 mins can you list where to get tensioner etc from pleeze
Let me know when youre travelling to nw200 as there should be a few of us going. Always good intensions but there is always something to knacker things up, but i will be going 1 way or another for sure
Next question if people can be bothered
k and n and an exhaust
Does this upset the ecu on buells as there seems to be lots of posts about this, or dare i say are they just a bit rough running anyway
cheers all

Welcome to the forum, i'm sure you will love the XB12Ss, i'v done a little over 3000 miles on mine and love it, Change the oil and filter regularly ( i do mine every 1000 miles ) and do the recommended items that Nutah listed.
Have fun

Also have a look on here as well. Loads of stuff and info on the web.

Hi turbo busa, my mate rides a turbo busa. They are mental. Have fun on the buell tho. They are good fun. Welcome

I'm just jealous guys. I need to find an XB12SS to test ride before I quit trolling and start using this forum.

Or is my 5'10' height gonna be okay for a normal XB12S?

I'm 5'10" an i was ok on an XBR , so a normal hight XBS should be ok .
best to go an test run one (if you can find one )TBH.

A XB12s should be fine, i'v got a 12Ss and i'm just over 6'1" and the flats of my feet just touch the floor comfortably, but i guess it depends on how long your legs are so try one if you can as they seem to be wide on the seat.

cheers for all info
Im 6 2" and tried the scg which felt to small for me. height fine but bars too close
Got on the 12ss and it was almost made to measure
Now a question for you buell boffins, what engine is in the 1200 ss, before anyone says ,,,yes i know its a hd motor but which one
Anyone else fancy the nw 200 road races. It is a good laugh even if you went on your own and the racing is brilliant. I dont even watch road racing but this is so different and unreall how its on closed roads and they all start together , not timed intervalls
All people who have been will know but a lot of iom regulars now only go to the nw200. There is a down side as its normally pissing down all weekend, but hey just like england really and you apparently get a perfect guiness but im not keen on it so cannot compare really
What other good trips do you do around the midlands
Next question in my book ha ha Its for a friend who will join soon no doubt
Buell 1200 2008 When cold runs like a piece of crap and a bugger to get going. Have not seen or heard the bike but he is no nerd and is quite mechanically capable. When hot its fine. Its only done 800 miles and has been outside. Wiring earths and connectors all cleaned up so over to you lot
cheers
