I remember that some models had more fueling issues than others. PLease advise. Thanks. | ||

2010. The bikes got better every year. Any fueling issues can be resolved with a Race ECM from Erik Buell Racing. | ||

2006/2007. I remember demoing the 2008 with the different throttle ramp and it was anemic off the line compared to my 06'. That said, I wouldn't mind having that 2010 but they are rare as hen teeth. | ||

I've been pleased in that my '07 seems to perform without fuel issues other than those that I've inflicted or introduced by mucking around with ECM Spy. That's why I saved the original config and always revert back to it after I figure out some other creative way to alter it and do more harm than good. I'd like to see what difference the Erik Buell Racing ECM would be in a bike I'm already happy with, but that's just my own neuroses, I mean curiosity. ULYKan (Bob) has piqued my curiosity with his recent posts re: the new units. Mine idles well, pulls hard, keeps a set of plugs clean, runs like a scalded dog and generally makes me happy each time I ride it, whether it be hot, cold, raining, dry, fully loaded...you name it.

My '09 ran well, but was missing 'something'. I thought it was fine other than the rpm hunting about a bit while steady state cruising on slab. The Erik Buell Racing race ecm has given me what I knew was missing. Throttle response is now immediate, no hunting when tooling along, pulls clean and strong from anywhere in the rpm range, more power down low in the range and no hesitation when cracked open. Mileage has remained the same (averaging 48). Plus, all the latest fan logic and a high idle at cold startup. I'm a happy customer. | ||

Everybody knows the 06's run and look the best.   | ||

It has nothing to do with the year - rather the color. Black is - and will always be - faster. It's just a fact. . | ||
| Ratbuell |
I dunno. My orange 06 gets around the Dragon just fine...right Froggy?  | ||
| Etennuly |
It has to be even faster now that it has 'proper' orange wings!   | ||
| Etennuly |
Oh, and I cannot tell you if later ones run better, but at 54,000+ miles my '06 runs better with every added mile. | ||

I'll back Vern on this.... My '06 Orange Uly turned 5yo at the beginning of the month and has just shy of 54,000 miles. Only thing it has needed is a better rider. | ||

if it was BLACK you would need a better rider.  | ||

if it was BLACK you would need a better rider. That's what she said! I'll be here all week. Try the veal.... | ||

OK BOYS, we'll settle it next Buelltoberfest!! Slowride and I are talking about an all day Uly ride which will include some gravel back roads, Fort mountain and cheap food. If you orange riders are up to it you can ride along!!  | ||
| Etennuly |
oooohhh! I'm SKEERED! Let's get it on 'slower-black-Uly rider!   | ||

OK BOYS, we'll settle it next Buelltoberfest!! Slowride and I are talking about an all day Uly ride which will include some gravel back roads, Fort mountain and cheap food. If you orange riders are up to it you can ride along!! My orange '06 - with "crappy" 616 tires! - will be there. Let's get muddy! | ||

Enough of your barricade banter, the gauntlet has been thrown!!  By the way Vern, wrap that mason jar in a pillow, we might need that along the way, you know, for medicinal purposes!!  | ||
| Mnrider |
Don't make me come down there next year. You black Uly guys better show-em!  (Message edited by mnrider on November 02, 2010) | ||

You might as well pack your stuff.....they are gonna need all the help they can get. Those black Ulys make good ditch fodder with their natural ditch filler colors!  | ||
| Tootal |
Well at least you can block the traffic, while they pull me out, with that rolling "road construction" sign your riding!!  | ||
| Etennuly |
That is why it is called "Barricade Orange"! | ||
| Tootal |
If you see me head for the ditch don't throw out the flares just yet. I might just be having fun!!!  | ||
| Mnrider |
I hope you have the mason jar handy I'm going to need it while I'm dragging my bike out off the ditch.  |
