Derek - please let us know what the Customer Care folks have to say. And hang in there - other than my fouled plug two years ago, I haven't had any further grief from my '04 excepting the minor-ly leaking shift shaft seal that I had replaced just because the warranty was running out. For the last two years, riding it's been a matter of checking the tires and thumbing the starter - knock wood!

(Now that I've posted this, the battery will probably decide it's old enough to start giving me grief next month, or something... )

Swampy yeah sort of. Well my buddy took it apart and said the whole transmission was out of "spec" and although you could fix it to make it shift into 5th the best thing to do would be to replace the whole thing. So since that would cost an arm and a leg and the dealership would give me an awesome offer on a trade in I will most likely do that. RIP Blast : )

Are you talkin about me or someone else?

there is no way anyone could have takin your tranny apart without taking the whole engine apart.

That is the unfortunate thing about the Blast tranny it may be something as simple as a 2$ part but you have to split the cases to find out and that alone cost $150 just for gaskets.

No one of my other buddies took it all apart, engine and everything and said the whole thing was "f&*^ed up" and the dealer wanted a ridiculous amount for parts so I think its best to call it a day since I planned on just having it for this season. Make it someone elses problem not worth the hassle.

Still in the plans, the Big Kid and I.

I am planning on leaving Friday morning, and I have directions, up past the topless bar on the curvy road!

Blackbelt,
Looks like I have one more coming with me, I will try and call Hardcorps tomorrow....but if you talk to him let him know we will be up there Friday am. Leaving Saturday afternoon after riding. My wifes nephew is home on leave from Marine Corps boot camp and he is a stop and see on the way home Saturday, that is if he isn't too busy getting his girlfriend pregnant. He went in to become a tank mechanic(so he could talk to me) and his shooting was so good they convinced him that he was going to be a Marine Corps Sniper.

Blackbelt,
I left a message on his cell....I don't know if it was him or not so I left an incoherrent rambling message just to be sure...

If you get through, tell him I'm leaving the house at 8am and it will probably take 3 hours with gas stops.

Thanks

Well, for the rest of you fair weather riders.....

It rained all weekend and we wore the spots off the parcheeze board.




Seriously,

The weather was perfect, the roads were serious twisty and hilly, the traffic was light to non-existant, and the only cop I saw was riding an XB12s infront of me.

Well been home for a couple hours. I put 1087 miles on my bike most of it was Friday, Saturday, and today. I rode 270 miles on the way up on Tuesday and didn't really ride again until Friday.

All the pictures I took were on a throw away camera, so I will have them developed tomorrow.

I didn't get rained on until the way home today, and it wasn't to bad.

After riding the tunnel of trees I no longer have any chicken strips on the left. Still don't have enough balls to get the right said gone.

Every one that didn't go missed some awsome riding.

Hello all,

I am new to this site and to Buells, I just got a 2003 XB9SL a few weeks ago. I'm in the Ann Arbor/Northville area, and have been looking for other Buellers to ride around with.

Also, wondering which Harley dealer in the area knows anything about Buells. I just bought a Race ECM from someone on this site, and when it arrives I need to get a TPS reset (probably not a complicated thing). Anyway, I have been to the Brighton and the Farmington Hills HD dealer, and both seemed to not know anything about the bikes (not comforting to me just to do a simple TPS reset). The Ann Arbor HD dealer at least has some bikes in the showroom, but I am wondering how they are to deal with beyond buying the bike.

Anyway, probably anyone can do the TPS reset, but I am wondering where I can go if I need any more complicated stuff done in the future. (hopefully never needed...)

Welcome to the Badweb Hala!

I am sure the resident Buell expert in your area will shortly chime in.

Hala,

Brighton H-D can do the TPS reset on your bike. Brighton does have a good Buell tech, and we should find that they're more willing to work with us. If you have any problems, ask for George. He's the GM for Brighton H-D and American, and he'll make sure you get taken care of.

Yes. They repaired the head temp sensor wire and reset the TPS. I need to take it out for a day to see if that did it.

I was at Brighton the other day and the salesperson at the desk said that they are no longer selling or supporting Buell out of that store everything goes to American HD.

I offered them 20 bucks for the Buell sign out front but they said no.

Hey Jason,

I added a link to your BadWeb page on the Detroit Hooligans site, and I posted info about the Muskegon Bike Time event on our Calendar page.
