Author Message   Firemanjim Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 12:28 pm:        My partner,Terry, is on his second regulator in 3 months and now is being told there are none available and they are backordered at Buell. Another customer there yesterday said he went through 2 in 5000 miles as well. Anyone else shed any light on this and does anyone have a regulator?This is his main transport as trans just went in the car.   Froggy Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 01:01 pm:        Yes there is a backorder, I have heard that in several other posts. It is different from the one on the current models, so its not like they can grab one off the assembly line. The issue with the VR is often the connection, not the VR itself. My bike was having charging issues last summer, I cleaned the connector and it was good as new. After that I had my dealer replace it and the stator anyway in case if the stator got damaged.   Xbimmer Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 04:02 pm:        Call Al at American Sport Bike, he sells them. Maybe he has one in stock. Ships like right now if he stocks something.   Firemanjim Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 04:20 pm:        Already tried that along with having dealer check the net.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 04:33 pm:        Unfortunately I think you are at fleabay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-BUELL-XB12SS-L IGHTNING-LONG-VOLTAGE-REGULATOR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ _trksidZp3286Q2em20Q2el1116QQitemZ380075412917QQpt ZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BUELL-LIGHTNING-FIR EBOLT-XB-VOLTAGE-REGULATOR-RECTIFIER_W0QQcmdZViewI temQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3 a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_t rksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem140293940967QQite mZ140293940967QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessori es http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Buell-XB-Lightning- Firebolt-Voltage-Regulator_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkp armsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3 a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp328 6Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem140293743063QQitemZ14029374 3063QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-2007-Buell-XB9 -XB12-Voltage-Regulator_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparm sZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a13 18Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2 ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem370142359393QQitemZ37014235939 3QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories At least get you going until the other one gets in.   Stevem123 Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2009 - 09:10 pm:        Is this on a 06-07 model? If so then check the "77" connector. It has been the culprit of many regulator failures. Sorry though I don't have a line on the regulator replacement though.... BC Steve   Jphish Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2009 - 10:16 pm:        Dr Greg might have one ??   New12r Posted on Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 09:01 am:        Jim, I have a stator and regulator, I replied to your email but have not heard back. Both are from a running 03.   Firemanjim Posted on Monday, January 19, 2009 - 10:28 am:        Thanks for all the replies, I believe Terry has a line on one of the eBay ones.Thanks for the links FB.   Gowindward Posted on Monday, January 19, 2009 - 01:12 pm:        I did talk with my dealer today and they said the VR I ordered in Oct. was in, but gee a three month lead time. Anyone know why the backorder on the VR's? I have had this one on order since middle of Oct and they rolled the p/n so it's a revised part, so there must have been a pretty big problem to cut the supply for three months.
