Author Message   Tank_bueller Posted on Saturday, July 25, 2009 - 03:45 pm:        Susan, The speedo should be an easy fix. The older models had a speed sensor that is known to have issues. The newer replacement is updated and available through the dealer.(though they might have to order one for ya ) I'm just up in Williamsburg, and I'd be happy to help if you need it! Tank p.s. Welcome! (Message edited by tank_bueller on July 25, 2009)   Tank_bueller Posted on Saturday, July 25, 2009 - 04:15 pm:        Did a little digging for ya. Part # 74431-01B is the updated sensor. From the dealer it's going to be about $75. I found it here for $64.95... LINK!   Braces Posted on Saturday, July 25, 2009 - 10:57 pm:        Thanks! yea I did some internet surfing looking for info and a lot of sites mentioned that it was most likely a sensor. That is not a bad price to fix if I can get some help figuring out how to replace it. I'm so ready to take a ride out more than just around the neighborhood!   S1wmike Posted on Sunday, July 26, 2009 - 07:37 am:        Jimmy Thanks for coming along yesterday. I really needed that ride   Bishopjb1124 Posted on Sunday, July 26, 2009 - 09:56 am:        Mike, had a great time, now they just need to clean up the roads down there and I need to get some new shoes for the 1125. Jimmy   Xb12mel Posted on Monday, July 27, 2009 - 09:26 am:        Hey Susan... I didn't get out at all this weekend. I know some simple roads without a lot of traffic if you want to get out this afternoon. Txt me after 5:30.   Braces Posted on Monday, July 27, 2009 - 05:36 pm:        Ah, that would have been awesome IF it wasn't raining and IF I had a sitter. Thanks anyway. Maybe this weekend if I get that speedometer fixed. Just got tags and title today and gonna call and get my insurance tonight. =D   Xb12mel Posted on Monday, July 27, 2009 - 07:07 pm:        Yeah, the rain was a definite bummer.   Braces Posted on Monday, July 27, 2009 - 07:11 pm:        Holy crap motorcycle insurance is ridiculously cheap. Yay for progressive! i kinda thought it would be the exact opposite. The guy who set me up with all my insurance stuff told me he rides a 2003 Buell Lightning. He said Buell's don't have to pay extra for being sports bikes. They get classified as cruisers because of the HD engines? Pretty cool yea?   Tank_bueller Posted on Monday, July 27, 2009 - 08:13 pm:        If you can get the part, I'll come help with the swap. Let me know! Hmm, I'm off tomorrow...Kelly's sounds good for lunch!   Nillaice Posted on Monday, July 27, 2009 - 09:44 pm:        i got progressive too, and they are dirt cheap especially for someone with a rash of documented violations. but do the insurance companies cut the 1125's a break too? ...or are have they wised up? my insurance premium is evidence to that they haven't wised up (Message edited by nillaice on July 28, 2009)   Braces Posted on Monday, July 27, 2009 - 10:12 pm:        Ok, I'm gonna order the part! Come to Kelly's for lunch! We have a $7.00 express lunch menu with some amazing food on it. I'm not just saying that cos I work there either. Matt, that sucks. I guess it's the price to pay to have an awesome fast ride? =D   Ekruizenga Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 08:05 pm:        No, of the 3 I called, the only one I found that cut the 1125 a break is Dairyland.   Bishopjb1124 Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 08:13 pm:        I got dairyland on all 3 bikes and only pay 100 a month full coverage. Jimmy   09xb12r Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 09:59 pm:        same here dairyland is the best i have seen.   Tank_bueller Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 10:07 pm:        Dairyland.. $900/yr on 3 bikes.   Tnd2 Posted on Wednesday, July 29, 2009 - 08:39 am:        I was with Dairyland since 03, I think. When I bought my girls Blast @ SSHD, it was suggested to call Harley Insurance. I used my current policy to set the coverages and they went to work, a little later Harley Ins called and had me a policy for just over $100 cheaper. So I figured it was a crappy ins company with out comparable limits, it was Dairyland w/exactly the same coverage. One of the guys I ride with called for insurance on his touring BMW, and they saved him more, but this time it was from Dairyland to Progressive. Its a free call...   Braces Posted on Wednesday, July 29, 2009 - 10:26 pm:        Ok, I bought that part a few days ago, but I may send it back. Decided eff it and took the bike up to Hoss's tonight and the speedometer worked fine. It was a little jumpy though so maybe the sensor is going bad. On the upside, wooooo that was fun!!!   Nillaice Posted on Wednesday, July 29, 2009 - 11:18 pm:        did u check the wire connections? (corroded/loose)   Braces Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 03:10 pm:        I think now is a good time to give me a lesson on where things are on the bike. I definitely don't have a clue where to look for these wire connections. This is obvious based on the fact I didn't even know my seat lifted up. =p Don't want to be a helpless girl cos one day you guys won't be around.   Nillaice Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 06:05 pm:        cara's got the service manual for the blast. u can come by sat morn time cuz i gotta werk sat afternoon/evening, but i have sunday off. or maybe some body closer can give u a 'crash course'. (pun intended) and this was what i was telling u cara didn't want me to make her bike look like http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/201 64/476619.jpg see the 'hole' where the big black plastic air box used to be and the neat little air filter thingy? yeah she didn't like it so we had to put it all back on   Nillaice Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 06:06 pm:        and we got a spare headlight too   Xb12rdavid Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 09:24 pm:        Jason, Can I try to catch up with you tomorrow afternoon before 2pm. Text me at 7732090354. Thanks. I got Dairyland but may switch to Progressive if it is cheaper. Dairyland was $73 a month but went up for some reason. I have to call SSHD and talk to them because I was told that it would not go up after that last claim.   Tank_bueller Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 10:14 pm:        Susan, The sensor still needs changing. How's Saturday? I'll introduce you to your new(to you) motorcycle as well.   Puphaphil Posted on Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 11:23 pm:        David, I got something in the mail from Dairyland stating that their premiums had gone up due to some VA state law or something...my bike will be paid off next month, and the insurance expires next month, so I'm going to let it run out and go with Progressive...it's about $200 cheaper per year for the same coverage.   Braces Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 08:27 am:        Thanks for all the help offers! I don't have the part yet. I don't know how long it will take to get here, but I ordered it on Tuesday night. I'm not sure what's happening with my weekend yet. What time Saturday? I may have some spare time on Saturday. =) I'll get together with either you or Matt at some point. Thanks again.   Frinzo Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 01:17 pm:        hey guys, im just dropping a quick line to say im safe and not quite to my duty station, but i can altleast get internet here. but lookin at the new 2010 bikes, is tempting me to buy one when i get home :/ not sure if thats a good idea...well keep the pics up on all the mods u guys are doing! later   Tank_bueller Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 03:34 pm:        Oh sorry.. I thought you had the part already. Let me know when you're free tomorrow(sat) and maybe we can go for a spin. I'll pm you my cell#.   Xb12mel Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 05:50 pm:        Take it easy Myron! Oh, and use your sunscreen! ~lol   Xb12rdavid Posted on Saturday, August 01, 2009 - 11:54 am:        Okay, What did I miss? Where is Myron going?
