Bought my 04 XB12R a month ago...and I absolutely love it. Just caught this this ohio thread. Anyone from NE ohio? Doesn't seem to be too many up this way. I'm just outside of Akron....heard that the Columbus area had a lot more going on. I'd like to meet some local people that share my addiction!   Screamerbolt Posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006 - 11:45 pm:        Oh yeah Gibriguy it is definately an addiction.you should try to check in a little more often to this thread.I am putting together a ride next weekend for the eastern part of ohio(but it is more toward southeast ohio)if anyone is interested let me know.Hey ceejay i think for a whole chicken and a keg we could ride to pa. and do some rocker boxes!Welcome to the thread gibriguy.btw we are going to be riding around st.rt.800 and 26.doesnt 800 go to akron?   Screamerbolt Posted on Monday, June 19, 2006 - 12:28 pm:        oh yeah btw gibriguy.check out ohiosportbike.com its a site for buell riders in ohio.there is a section just for northern ohio riders along with posts for all riders.it is a pretty slow board at the moment but it seems to be getting busier.   Ceejay Posted on Tuesday, June 20, 2006 - 09:19 am:        S-bolt, if everything was there when we got there that would be a fun trip...hopefully it wouldn't be too foggy the next morning tho...   Rum_runner Posted on Tuesday, June 20, 2006 - 06:11 pm:        we have another problem guys went to start my bike yesterday and it was running like shit. took it to my local shop. the mechanic that use to work on it was killed a few months back on a customers bike. well thay have a young kid straight out of school he is ama cert. so im sure hes ok but not alot of experiance. he seems to think i have a burnt valve.   Rum_runner Posted on Tuesday, June 20, 2006 - 06:20 pm:        heres my question if it is a burnt valve what kind of price is that going to run me having a shop do it. im not a mechanic by no means. but im not convinced its a burnt valve. heres the symtoms when fired you have to keep on throttle to keep running. a little bit of smoke coming out of air filter. and sounds like its either pushing or sucking air from somewhere.   Screamerbolt Posted on Tuesday, June 20, 2006 - 09:25 pm:        hey rum first of all remember this that ama cert is basically the same thing you wipe your ass with.a piece of paper does not mean the guy knows what he is doing.That being said it does not mean he is wrong either.However your problem sounds more like an intake seal leaking to me.if you twist the throttle is it ok?start your bike and spray some carb cleaner back behind the carb toward the intake.If the motor changes rpm's then you have an intake leak(all evo motors are prone for this to happen eventually.the rubber seal is sandwiched between a tapered plate and the head.after so many years of the seal getting hot and cold it starts to fall apart.also go to the left side of the bike and spray toward the carb.there is another rubber seal that goes between the carb and intake.pull your plugs out and see what they look like.if you do have a burnt valve let me know the price that they give you and I may be able to help you save a couple bucks.we do all of our own machine work so i could help you out in that department.keep us informed   Rum_runner Posted on Tuesday, June 20, 2006 - 09:54 pm:        scream would and intake seal cause smoke from the air filter. if i twist the throttle it runs but i still hear air and it will not idle for very long by its self before it dies out. i'll keep you informed. and thank you for the help.   Screamerbolt Posted on Wednesday, June 21, 2006 - 12:15 pm:        try spraying the carb cleaner and let me know what happens   Screamerbolt Posted on Thursday, June 22, 2006 - 09:48 am:        hey ceejay did you get your seat put on yet?if so post some pics so we can check it out.   Rum_runner Posted on Friday, June 23, 2006 - 05:43 pm:        scream now the shop is telling me its either a head gasket or a bent valve.   Rum_runner Posted on Sunday, June 25, 2006 - 12:43 pm:        a cylinder head bolt was loose it rubbed a hole in rear rocker box. this is what the shop said i need cylinder head bolts & nuts, rear cylinder, rocker box, piston & rings, and all the seals and gaskets that goes along with this stuff. and they said they think the head is ok but not sure. and its going to be $700 just for parts. does this sound right.   Screamerbolt Posted on Monday, June 26, 2006 - 01:23 pm:        I dont know about all that rum!personally it sounds like a line of bullshit to me.Is your bike a 97 s1 that your profile shows?What kind of shop is it?(dealership or private shop)do they have much experience with harley motors?and why do you need a new rear cylinder?   Ceejay Posted on Monday, June 26, 2006 - 03:39 pm:        Rum, I think you better have someone else take a look first cause as sbolt said sounds like bs...got me a seat, but I don't like, did a real nice job just not what I asked them to do, thus I'm still shopping...but I can ride it at least.   Rum_runner Posted on Monday, June 26, 2006 - 05:53 pm:        scream & ceejay do you guys know of any body kinda in my area that can take a look at it.
