Author Message   Andros Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 04:19 am:        My bike has been running pretty bad ever since i got it from brand new. Tried various tunes and nothing helped. I still could not get rid of the low end stutters. Yesterday i found out that it was due to a leak where the throttle body mounts to the cylinder heads. By spraying brake cleaner onto the suspected area while having the bike idling i could hear the revs drop drastically as the engine sucked in the brake cleaner through the gap. Must have been a monday morning build... Problem found, now back to the dealer. Will let you know how it goes.   Easyrider Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 05:45 am:        good luck..   Andros Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 05:50 am:        do i need it?   Jrfitzny Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 10:37 am:        Some people have experienced problems with H-D dealers being unqualified with repairs, and others have experienced problems with delayed orders... If you have a decent dealer you should be alright. Good luck with the repair   Andros Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 11:22 am:        Buell Hamburg are very cool!   1313 Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 12:24 pm:        Buell Hamburg are very cool! From what I've heard that is VERY true! One of the largest Buell dealers in Germany. I forget how they stack up, but I've had the pleasure to visit Buell Hannover and Buell Frankfurt (which are a couple of the other largest Buell dealers in Germany) and I was throughly impressed! After finding out that Buell Hamburg is one of the largest Buell dealers in Germany I was disappointed that I didn't venture to their retail location when I was at the 2008 Hamburg Harley Days. I'm sure Andros will be just fine! 1313   Andros Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 12:37 pm:        I had a million things wrong with my machine so i hope this will be the final warranty fix. Stator, clutch leak, new instruments, clonking fork, bad fuel pump, voltage regulator, burned rear blinkers, and now leaking tb's. Pheewww. Still love the bike!   Cataract2 Posted on Monday, June 07, 2010 - 02:09 pm:        Shoot, Andros, I'm about to be stationed in Landstuhl Germany. Sadly it's south of you. Either way though, will have to find time to meet up.   Andros Posted on Tuesday, June 08, 2010 - 05:16 am:        Right on Cataract, enjoy your Europe stay =) Hamburg is a wilds city and so is Berlin! Lots of fun to be had there!   Andros Posted on Tuesday, June 08, 2010 - 05:17 am:        Anyone knows what CAUSES a throttle body leak?!   Cataract2 Posted on Tuesday, June 08, 2010 - 10:03 am:        Gaskets not seating usually. Andros, well I'm hoping to meet the locals (working on my German as we speak) and hopefully to be show around and where to go for the best rides.
