I went over 20,000 miles on my '07 Uly today!

The only mechanical problems I have had were
1. Fuel Pump went out (covered by warranty)
2. Dead battery (last week)

That is it!!!


A QUALITY PRODUCT BUILT IN AMERICA

Thank you Mr. Buell and the Elves!

Hopefully my next motorcycle will be a NEW Buell!

I think 20k is really the end of the break-in period for these engines. They really start to smooth out and purr after that.

Wow! I was thinking you did it all in one day! You got a good one!

Seems like mine, now at 48,000, runs as good or better than it did at 20,000. And that is a good thing!

Cool. I ran past 20k a couple of weeks ago on my '09. Only problems to date was the fuel pump fuse.

Here's the old hoss last weekend in the Ironwood National Forest, outside Tucson/Marana.

You would have to maintain 372.533333 m/s(833.33333mph) to clock 20k miles in a 24 hours period.

It made it to work and back. I put some STP fuel injector cleaner in the tank on the way home and so far so good.
