SERVICE BULLETIN 2003-2006 FIREBOLT HEADLIGHTS PRODUCT PROGRAM 0501 Reason For Revision This revised bulletin includes corrected part information in the credit procedure tables, and correctly indicates that the services under this product program will expire two years from the date of this bulletin. Purpose Buell Motorcycle Company has determined that headlight assemblies on some 2003-2006 Firebolt models have a reflective material which can potentially degrade and reduce light output. In the interest of customer satisfaction and continuous improvement, Buell Motorcycle Company has elected to replace the low and high beam headlight assemblies for affected motorcycles. Motorcycles Affected All 2003-2006 Buell Firebolt model motorcycles (XB9R and XB12R) shipped from the factory before the dates shown in Table 1. Table 1.

Just got an official letter in the mail today. Too bad my bike needs more than a head light. Looks like they will refund the new one that was only on the bike for a week though. | ||

I also received my official letter in the mail today. Anyone think that I should remove my H.I.D. and aluminum foil before I go to the dealer?  | ||

I'd remove the HIDs or they'll get pitched by the dealer as non-stock parts. I'd re-install them as soon as you get home. | ||

cool, sounds good Thanx | ||

The Lightning headlights suck as well. Thankfully, I haven't noticed mine degrading yet, though. | ||

I received my letter too. I have to give Buell credit for acknowledging the problem with the headlight reflectors and spending a whole of lot of $$ to remedy it. Mike Schroeder '03 XB9R Sheboygan, WI | ||

>>>What about 07s? They are gonna have this problem as well. Not necessarily. The problem was the result of a not to spec manufactured lot. I'm not sure when but there was a point in time that the supplier came into spec. If your's is affected you'll get a letter. | ||

the low beam reflector on my 2006 XB12ss 7000 miles is already starting to degrade also. IT would be nice if PIAA would make a replacement set for the XB's! |
