V.I.N. (To aid in problem resolution. Will not be displayed or shared otherwise.) : | (Hidden) |
Servicing Dealership: | Lemonchili Motors |
Performance Mods!: | Race kit header, muffler, ecu and air filter so far... Parts bin air cleaner, US spec belt pulleys (soooooo much better!). "Roadracing" air cleaner, Ferodo front rotor. |
Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | <1000 Problem with ET sensor causes occasional missing, could be a bad crimp connector 1500 Pro-series muffler - baffling and half the rivets gone, but easy to repack and re-rivet... it's at least quieter than it was! >>> May '07 update - X1 now has about 20,000km's, generally trouble free since new ET sensor was fitted Around 30k broke front engine mount, replaced weeping rear base gasket at the same time. Lost count of how many times I've repacked the race muffler, but it sounds great 1125R - Clutch slave cylinder blown seal, 1,500km's |
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: | Just got the bike, lots of ideas... Rear guard removed, alloy motocross 'bars (YZ125?). >>> May '07 update - now has chrome bars about an inch lower than standard, carbon fibre tank trims, and belt guards I made myself. >>>2009. LED indicators and tail-light. NHRS front engine mount. Mountain bike mirrors. I painted engine covers black a while ago too. Penske rear shock. 1125R - Australian lower fairing panels with "1125RS" graphics |
Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | Mt Mee, Mt Glorious, Esk-Kilcoy Rd, Bells Line Of Road, Old Pacific Hwy... |
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | Trying to figure out X1 vs. M2... Bought the X1! "Different In Every Sense" Wanted a bike I could keep for ten years and keep customising it to how I want it to be. Ask me in 2014 if I made the right choice. Grin factor! >>> May '07 update - I've had the X1 for three years now, and I still love it!!!!!! >>> July '09. I still love it! It has grin factor in spades, it sounds great, it handles incredibly well, it's fast enough, and it's a "do everything" bike. |
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | An XB12S with an R tail and the attitude of an "S1W with race kit" A smaller version of 1125CR would be cool, or a really hot small hardcore sportsbike. |
Life History/Philosophy: | I just love motorcycles and cars and music, not necessarily in that order, and try to enjoy life |
Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): | 140. 120 on the X1. |
Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): | Mobil 1 |
