Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
Loud rod-type knock until warm.About 3 minutes. Coming from crankcase. Sometimes. Currently running Motul 15w/50 300v and a yellow filter (sorry no name/number visable). Oil level good. When it's cold and if I turn it off, it takes the oil pressure light 8-12 seconds to come on. It turns on instantly when hot.
Also, it seems to have a lack of power over 90.
|
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: |
frame pucks, saddle bags
|
Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): |
Sunday Morning Ride, back roads of Sonoma + Marin counties, CA
|
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
Harley/ American, air cooled, love the style and innovation
|
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
Simpler (cheaper)break-a-way turnsignals, quality long term parts; ex: oil dip stick, heat off motor deflectors (I know about OPs),non-floppy turn signals, gas cap, free-floating screws on air cover, and more to come. I've only had it 2 months!
