"The 1125CR is finally an example of a well-made American motorcycle that can finally compete with the best coming out of England, Italy, or even Japan" | ||

Carburetion below 4,000 is a bit off...................but above that jetting is spot on.  | ||

Thanks for the link, I was wondering how to use ecm spy on my leaf blower.  | ||

"As previously mentioned, below 4000 rpm the carburetion seems to be a bit off, which compromises low-speed throttle response, but get the engine zinging past that mark and jetting feels spot-on." Um... ok, we'll let him go with that... you just can't tell some folks they're wrong! | ||

As previously mentioned, below 4000 rpm the carburetion seems to be a bit off, which compromises low-speed throttle response, but get the engine zinging past that mark and jetting feels spot-on. In fact, the combination of the well-sorted fuel mapping and direct response from the belt final drive make accelerating feel almost instantaneous at speed. It is a confusing paragraph so i guess were both wrong there XB12mel...  | ||

This article still doesn't make it pretty. Just pretty fast, but we knew that already. I can't find a use for a 146 hp Salad Shooter at 12 grand. | ||

I can't find a use for a 146 hp Salad Shooter at 12 grand. I sure could....  | ||
| Xl1200r |
I do! | ||
| Jramsey |
Anyone know the correct float level setting on a 146 hp Salad Shooter. | ||
| Freezerburn |
Oh John, we know you don't like it. I do though. Salad should be shot. 12 G seems a deal considering I paid 13 for my '05 XB12S - of course when the loonie was worth about 80 cents...still. | ||

12mm for brocolli, 14mm for carrots | ||
| Greenlantern |
Large carrots or baby carrots? | ||
| Bads1 |
Funny how the same people that said time ago that there XB's were more then enough and could keep up with the Liter bikes or inlines.... HP isn't everything Etc...Etc... Etc... Now its just opposite.LOL | ||
| Jramsey |
Large carrots plug the pulse width of the float needle/seat in the throttle body, Strained carrots show a better torque curve on Gallaghers SS dyno. | ||

I want an 1125SS (salad shooter). I don't care what Johnny says. I'm just glad to see some really good press. | ||
| Buellinachinashop |
And just think, if they'd have used an S tail, you'd have a graiter to add cheese to the salad or to add pasta for a pasta salad! BUT NO. DENIED. | ||

Nice Bike an all, but I see no reason, other than the lack of $$$, to get rid of my ole X1, rush down to the super store and get the latest/greatest. | ||

I'm lactose intollerant. Don't need no stinkin' grater (that I would chop off anyway). | ||

>>I'm lactose intollerant.<< Take a mugacinno of HTFU. | ||

"I'm lactose intollerant. Don't need no stinkin' grater" Pods are for whales and Wilfred Brimley, cut those off too and you may have a winner. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
I like the pods. Then again, I liked the Juggies:  | ||
| Buellinachinashop |
wasn't the Man Show cancelled? | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Yes, but Juggies are forever. | ||

A CR rolled in to TWO during Buellotoberfest. The nice folks at KTM provided us with demo bikes so all the latest KTMs were lined up in three rows. Even with the RC8s in the line up, the CR drew the attention of the crowd. I like it. I would have a different tail section, but I like it. | ||

Yeah thats a surprise a Buell drew attention at a Buell event.Every other motorcycle forum I've been on the consensus is that the Buell 1125CR is FUGLY.To each his own though. | ||

The KTM "event" wasn't. We outnumbered the KTM folks at their own event 7 to 1. | ||

The KTM "event" wasn't. I would have been even more "wasn't" if we hadn't been there. |
