I recently purchased one of the last Race Kits for my 2006 XB12Scg.

I am looking through it all and a bunch of plastic looking BBs rattled around and fell out of the exhaust! I am assuming this is just to keep the muffler clean? I want to make sure this doesn't mean something broke inside.

About 90% rolled out a few are still rattling inside. Anyone want to tell a Newbie what this is?

Thanx,
Jeff

FYI, I did get an answer from a reseller saying these are part of the polishing process. I am not sure if this is true, but it makes sense.

Just wondering if anyone has run into this before. ;)

Yes, those pellets are part of the polishing process, don't worry.

Awesome!

Thanks for the clarification.....I freaked when they poured out lol.

Glad for boards like this as a new Buell owner.
