as i'm doing practice to lower my lap-time i noticed a strange rear tire consuming like pieces of rubber braking away from the tire. my guess was to much heavy rear spring so i changed for a 20 kgs softer . the next practice day the bike did the same.... maybe less air-pressure needed....???? another point : during one "fast" lap my engine turned off , like gasoline finished but the tank was half/full. when at home i connected to the pc to see the ecmspy diagnostic but no failures were indicated in the errors list and history.anyway when i was waiting to be rescued i tried to turn on the bike and it worked fine until the end of the sessions day last question : is it possible that on track spark plugs color is whiter, when checked, respect the normal street use ? i ask you this because i'm sure to run a little beat rich to keep the engine cooler and i can see this from the fan ( it does'nt works a lot) from the overtemp. light that never turned on ....but when yesterday i had a look to the spark plugs they were white on the electrod and black at the base ( i used screaming eagle snake tong electrod), now i changed to ngk again . any help or comment will be appreciated i'll give you some pics of those days. bye Alessio  | ||

Tires could be "cold tearing". Also, the tire reps here in the states say check tire pressure when they're HOT and keep them on the warmers for 1&1/2 hours before going out. That's directly from the Pirelli rep. | ||

Your tires should be on the warmers until the rim is warm to the touch. The engine turning off can happen during a hard braking situation. The fuel shifts forward in the frame and momentarily starves the fuel pump causing the stutter. I had it happen to me twice into turn one at Road America. Schmitty | ||

I have it in my M2, but I didn't know if you could work it down in the XB's frame. | ||

thank you for your inputs a lot of things need to be adjusted (rider weight first of all), if sometimes the bike is out of gasoline i'm often out of oxygen and this is a big point....it mean more sport less drinks less cigarettes ....a long list in my case but i'm working at don't know when ..i want to race this Buell bye Alessio |
