Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I don't know- I understood everything he said. Allow me to translate for all you not-so-tech savvy:

Hi, I would like to start a new thread about experiences and problems encoutered for 20k, 40k and 60kmi services.

A quick introduction, I've been riding twins for a long time in Europe and now live in Canada. I've owned a Buell and been a fanatic for 1 year. I don't know why people dislike these bikes. I like mine and I'm going to keep it.

Ok, at 20kmi my front brake was pulsating and changing to EBC pads fixed this issue. The low-level fuel senor was replaced, and the fan is also not working. I plan to replace the fan over the winter.

I have Metzeler tires and I love them both in wet and dry conditions. I'm getting 8kmi on the front, and only 6500 miles on the rear.

The bike is mostly stock. I have a modified stock muffler on it now. I change the oil with synthetic every 6kmi.

I would like to know of anyone elses problems with their XBs and at what mileage they encountered them. I think it would be interesting for everyone.

Later, and greetings from Vancouver.

"I've been riding twins for a long time"

I like riding twins for a long time too.

But seriously...it's not really that we don't understand him, it's just a silly way to post. That is all.

And you are trying to say... what?

Welcome Coop.

Your english isn't so bad.Sorry if my fellow Countrymen have mocked you.Laugh it off.Funny thread right here!

You're at 6000 miles? No big service there.When adjusting the clutch,DO NOT run the throwout bearing too tight! Back it off after seating,at LEAST 1/4 turn to 1/2 turn.I broke my Primary cover running the clutch too tight.

Bosh: Cool post.Mixing up the letters a little,and still ledgible
