Hi Everyone, About a month ago I bought my first Buell. I've paid for it but im still waiting for it to arrive(someone stole the ignition) I live in Wales UK. I've never ridden a Buell before but I've heard they are great fun to ride etc. I've got a few questions. Are they reliable? I was wondering has anyone got rid of those huge filter boxes and wheres the best replacement parts available from in the UK. Thanks very much Samzie  | ||

Samzie, Welcome! You will be happy to learn that quite a few of your fellow countrymen also enjoy riding Buell motorcycles. What model and year Buell did you purchase? They are generally reliable; depending on the model and year, there might be a few items to which you should pay attention. | ||

You got more chance of breeding Dodo's than getting a lock set! Oh yeah, and they're 100% reliable. Never had a problem with mine apart from cutting out in the rain, oil leaks from nearly everywhere, new paintwork, new gearbox and primary parts, did I mention the leaks? heavy breathing, new pistons and rings, still breathing, did I mention the leaks? speedo sensors, 2 brake discs, why do these only last 8000 miles? Oh the leaks, 3 rocker gaskets, base gaskets, lower pushrod tube seals. And the serice at the dealers? Well, that's to die for! Good luck 'cos you'll need it. | ||
