8632 miles
1203cc V-Twin with Fuel Injection
Showa UDS forks with Race Tech Gold Valves and 0.90 kg/m springs (up from 0.75 kg/m)
Buell Pro-Series full exhaust system
536 camshaft
K&N filter with airbox mods (venturi ring and breather rerouting)
Buell Race ECM
Crossroads Handlebar setup
LSL rearset foot controls
Brass oil pump drive gear from NRHS

I have the original passenger pegs and mounts, original, never used foot controls and orginal bars with only a few hundred miles on them. I will install the original foot controls if buyer requests. In order for me to install the original bars, I would need to purchase new grips, once again, at buyer's request.

I also have a race belly pan and race flyscreen that goes with the bike. I will even include the LP rear stand I bought for it.

Minor scuffing on the tank plastic from the bungee cords that secure a tank bag. Rear aluminum tail has some scratches from the bungee cords as well. The LSL rear sets had been tweaked in a minor way from a very low speed crash in the red dirt at a track day. Bent back into shape and structurally sound as I'd been riding on them for 3 years, so far. No other damage resulted. Left mirror has some scratches in the plastic from moving it around in the garage.

Overall, the bike is in good shape (7/10) and runs very well.

The bike had some very simple early problems straight from the factory, all of which are fixed after some time consuming misdiagnosed warranty work. Here they are:

1. The front damper cartidge blew withing the first 2 weeks of ownership. Replaced and fine now, especially with the Race Tech Gold valves that were installed since.

2. Fuel pump burnt out. Replaced at 5801 miles.

3. The main crank bearing bore was too tight from the factory and caused the bearing to overheat and damage the seal. Because of the excessive teardown of the engine, and the wear and damage to the crank end, the engine has a brand new bottom end (new flywheel/rod assembly, bearings, seals and gaskets) at 6437 miles.

I have other bikes that get my attention these days and the Buell sits in the corner of the garage wasting away. As I said, it now runs great and should be very reliable with all of the problems fixed.

I have all maintainence records and receipts from day 1. It's a great bike but I'm looking to by a new MXer.
