Hi all, I am not yet a buell owner, but am hoping to buy my first
an 03 xb9s
But first, i'd just like to ask a couple of questions if i may?
Apparently there have been a couple of mods. One is a wire removed from the ECU, apparently started as a mod to pass california emissions regulations but also added 5bhp, so done widely?
Also apparently the air box has had holes drilled as stock is too restrictive.

Also, is the pillion seat completely unusable? Is 30 odd thousand miles alot on these bikes?
And lastly, should i be paying in the region of 2.5-3k for this bike?

I found this site doing research around buying this buell, and obviously if i do become a buell owner will become a regular user, and hope you wont view this first post as a waste of time. I am off now to use the search function, but im hoping to let the bloke know tomorrow evening, so any replies would be much appreciated

Cheers,
Pete

PS
Hi if your the bloke seling the bike and happen to be a current member!

Dont do it, seriously......that's way too much dosh for a very old 9 with that mileage

Tyvm, from what I've seen on here your the respected voice on here. What sort of money should I be looking at?
And where can I find something around that budget or cheaper? Don't see many of these for sale...

YHPM ??? Ay? Can I have that in Queens English please.

Unfortunately the internet is a place where the Queen's English is rarely used, and we all become familiar (eventually) with acronyms. This particular one refers to the fact that Y=You (Southeast Pete) and will soon have=H a PM = Personal Message.
HTH
