Whilst I am sadenned by the demise of Buell I am delighted that I have managed to afford one! I pick up my 10 plate Ulysses XT on 1st Marh - can't wait. I do hope Harley bring them back in due course. Any tips/hints/simple mods that are worthwhile for a new Uly owner?? |

To start with, consider your owner's manual as your bible (no, not a religion thread again!!!!!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Get the bike run in properly, then you will have a much better feel for the bike, and what you want/what you need to do to it. Free Spirits belt tensioner would be #1, if you care to keep the bike for the long term. Enjoy! |

Bring it for a 10 minute ride then come back, turn off and park it on the side stand, leave for a minute and then check the engine oil level..........mine needed oil !!! Check the tyre pressures. Set the suspension for your riding weight Maybe think about a FS tensioner, a breather mod and an output shaft oiling nipple ! Look at the Palmer UK website for add on bits. My 2c Eric. |

My 2c Eric.[/quote] Thanks Eric: Any tips on how to setup the suspension? I've never been much good with all those adjusters ![]() What is an FS tensioner? Breather mod and output shaft oiling nipple mods are somewhere on this site?? Thanks again |

Hi RevM ![]() Here's a link to the online version of the owners manual, so you can read it before you get the bike http://www.buell.com/om/99474-10Y_en/index.asp |

Get both wheel spindles out and grease them with Coppaslip. (The genuine stuff, not the cheap crap that dries out and turns to powder) |

Page 81 in the owners manual has a table with settings for your riding weight incl all gear etc. A few pages before and after that explain how to make the adjustments. FS stand for Free Spirits a company that makes an aftermarket tensioner. Eric. |
