Hello, I am new to the Buell and about to buy a used XB12s. My question is: Is there anything I need to know about the 12s as far as the engine goes? Is there a big change in the years? have to I am looking at. a 2004 12.000 miles and a 2007 6.000 miles. Thank you for any tip | ||

The oiling system got upgraded over time. 06 and up had the better pinion gear ($50 part that takes a decent amount of disassembly to bolt on), and by 2008 or something, they had the new oil pump assembly (visible as a new cam cover). But from day 1, the XB's were well sorted out bikes. So the newer ones are better, but the oldies are not at all bad. | ||

Oh, and the belt / pulleys kept getting better as well, with a big jump (belt and pulleys) in 05, and another big jump in 08 I think (just belt). That's worth at least $100 right there... |
