Author Message   Goody Posted on Friday, August 21, 2009 - 06:20 pm:        Felicita...Your Blast dies when you give it gas because the main jet is clogged with varnish. Gas that sits for more than a month will evaporate in the bowl and leave a gummy residue (varnish) in the bowl that clogs the main jet. They call it varnish because that's what it look like. When you open the throttle, the needle rises out of the main jet and it isn't getting any fuel to mix with the increase in air. Thats why it dies on you. It is a simple carb cleaning that you need and its very simple to do. Get with Mel and if he can't figure it out...I'm available. Goody   Rlgiv Posted on Friday, August 21, 2009 - 10:04 pm:        Braces I work weekends myself. Just post up the day before. I'm almost always looking for somebody to ride with during the week.

I know Oct is a over a month away, but I want to get out and enjoy so I am posting early. My Birthday is the first week in Oct and I want to get a good group to go riding with that weekend (Oct 3 or Oct 4) or soon there after, since I haven't been in awhile and there are a lot of new people out there. I know the usual ride is Sunday morning, but wanted to know if any other time was good for you all besides Sunday morning to go riding. I really didn't want to miss Church on Sunday, but would if that was the only time available. I got the kitchen pass and I am not getting any younger.   Bishopjb1124 Posted on Saturday, August 22, 2009 - 03:04 pm:        Saturday works fine with me David just let me know a time and place. Jimmy   Goody Posted on Saturday, August 22, 2009 - 03:21 pm:        Saturdays are fine...doesn't have to be a Sunday ride.   S1wmike Posted on Saturday, August 22, 2009 - 03:40 pm:        David Saturday or Sunday is good for me, but if things go well I'll be at Buelltoberfest that weekend   Xb12rdavid Posted on Sunday, August 23, 2009 - 05:00 pm:        That's right, I forgot about that. My pass doesn't get me to Suches, so we will have to plan for when you all get back. But I will let you all know.   Felicita Posted on Sunday, August 23, 2009 - 10:27 pm:        Hey everyone, Just wanted to say thanks for the help and advice I bought myself a new toy today and if you're interested, it's pictured on my profile (not as fun as the last pic though ).   Frinzo Posted on Monday, August 24, 2009 - 09:21 am:        all i got 2 say is D*MN! that bike looks nice! god how i missing riding my bikes, and what makes it worst is some civilian here has one   Puphaphil Posted on Monday, August 24, 2009 - 09:26 am:        Felicita, It took me about 8 months before I changed out the exhaust, then, after another 8 months or so, I finally truly mod'd the CityX...I peeled off the warning label on the rear swingarm! Ask Jason, it goes WAY faster now that the sticker is gone! Ha! Congrats on the Duc.   Xb12mel Posted on Monday, August 24, 2009 - 09:31 am:        Well more then just the stickers are gone now Phil! Dang girl... when you upgrade, you upgrade!!! Congrats on the now bike. Did you trade in or do you still have the Blast?   Felicita Posted on Monday, August 24, 2009 - 10:52 am:        Mel, still have the Blast for a little while longer - have a buyer who will take it on the 1st. I really liked the xb12scg but couldn't find any used in my price range in the area and then this came along.... She's not brand new, but only has 500 miles on her - hasn't even hit the break in period yet . I'm debating now whether or not I want to get it lowered; I can't get enough foot on the ground to back it up...   Xb12mel Posted on Monday, August 24, 2009 - 12:39 pm:        wow.... I don't understand these folks who get a motorcycle and then don't ride it! I just crossed the 20,000 mile mark on mine this weekend.... That's 200,000 in car miles! I guess it means, it's officially not worth anything to anyone except me! Well... talk to S1WMike, he's the Duc man around here. There are a couple others too.... Maybe the "Hooligans" can open up to all V-Twin Sports bikes? Who knows.   Felicita Posted on Monday, August 24, 2009 - 01:45 pm:        I still have the Buell for a little while longer Thanks for the push, Mel He bought it in February, had shoulder surgery a month or so later with three months of rehab, and now his wife is pregnant so he had to get rid of it, regrettably (but not for me).   Buellxb12rdeepcreek Posted on Tuesday, August 25, 2009 - 09:47 pm:        HELP!!!!!! I have an 05 Buell XB12R with a cracked outer primary cover. I need a replacement before the weekend.Supposed to be headed out to Skyline Drive. Duck from Southside referred me to the site and said that you all were very helpful. Hopefully someone has something!!! Lots of good info out here. Look forward to meeting new friends. Thanks for looking.....   Xb12mel Posted on Wednesday, August 26, 2009 - 12:46 pm:        ooohhh.. good luck.   Kmfw160 Posted on Wednesday, August 26, 2009 - 06:37 pm:        JB Weld!? I dunno man. Tank or Goody will have to chime in fo sho.   Goody Posted on Thursday, August 27, 2009 - 09:11 pm:        XB12deepcreek. How large and wide is the crack? I would use JB weld for a temporary fix depending on where and how bad it really is. If its small, no problem to fix. Theres little to no pressure on the primary gear case. Goody   Goody Posted on Thursday, August 27, 2009 - 09:15 pm:        Hey fellas, check out the toy I'm going to pick up tomorrow if all goes as planned. Did you think I would last this long without one?   Xb12mel Posted on Thursday, August 27, 2009 - 09:38 pm:        what the heck is it? Huskvarna?   Goody Posted on Friday, August 28, 2009 - 05:33 am:        Good job Mel. Husqvarna SM610, gonna be loads of fun. Its in Chesterfield, gonna drive up after work and take a look at it and test ride. If its everything I've heard, it will be in the truck on the way home.   Puphaphil Posted on Friday, August 28, 2009 - 05:46 am:        Goody, Looks like a fun toy!!! Good luck!   S1wmike Posted on Friday, August 28, 2009 - 07:58 am:        Was that the Blue and white one on Craig's list   09xb12r Posted on Friday, August 28, 2009 - 10:18 am:        Buellxb12rdeepcreek you can look on this site for a primary but your best bet will be to order one from SSHD that is what i had to do when mine broke.   Kmfw160 Posted on Friday, August 28, 2009 - 08:26 pm:        motard, cool!   Goody Posted on Saturday, August 29, 2009 - 07:46 am:        S1Mike,,,blue and white one? This is the only Husky SM610 I could find in the surrounding 5 states. It's a HOOT !!   Goody Posted on Sunday, August 30, 2009 - 08:04 pm:        I got to ride the 610 a little this weekend...dont have the tags on her yet so I spent most of the time cleaning it up. It really barks with that Yosh exhaust. Gents my son will be home on the 9th of Sept. and that weekend if ya'll are up for a ride I'd love to bring Mark out to meet ya'll and ride somewhere. Poes I believe is also that weekend. So who's up for a Poes Pub run the 2nd Sunday in September?   Xb12mel Posted on Monday, August 31, 2009 - 09:00 am:        I'm in if I'm home.... Boss wants me out on the road in Sept and Oct. So we'll see.   Bishopjb1124 Posted on Monday, August 31, 2009 - 09:57 am:        Goody I am in, look forward to meeting Mark. Are you gonna let him ride the motard or the Buell? Jimmy   Tank_bueller Posted on Monday, August 31, 2009 - 04:59 pm:        I'm in too!
