hi everyone new to the site and new to a buell just got a xb9r 2003 only done 9000mls are the gears always a bit clunky

Hi there Davey and welcome, yes the gears r like that it was one of my questions when I first got mine. Gears need to be treated with certain amount of respect is what I was told and none of those clutchless shifts.
Where are you based? there are a few Buell guru's dotted around the country that use this site. Maz has been great for me with mine cos I was/still am bit clueless with these thumpers!!

I'm just outside skegness in lincolnshire
I'm pleased about that ,I thought it was just me! I don't no anyone else with a buell

Welcome Dave .... You know a whole bunch of folk now (there is hundreds of us!)

Pull up a chair

Welcome !
Buell owners are found all over the world, look across the pond, do you see me waving ?

Hiya Davey welcome to the nut house. Just because we like to be different from the crowd doesnt mean we dont flock together at regular intervals. Look in the events section and you will see plenty of us

welcome davey
an oil change for the gear box does make it better
oil is around £7
i think Buell service change it every 8k , i used to do mine every 3k
seperate oil in gearbox & engine

A correctly adjusted primary chain (very easy to do) may help smooth out the gear changes.
