Bike Model (Ex - M2, XB12Rr, S1W, P3): | Buell Blast |
Model Year (Please enter full 4-digit year): | 2000 |
Color: | Black with optional scratches and rust. |
V.I.N. (To aid in problem resolution. Will not be displayed or shared otherwise.) : | (Hidden) |
Servicing Dealership: | My friends and me behind my building with some sketchy tools. |
Performance Mods!: | V&H SS2R Aluminum Pipes |
Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | -leaked oil at 2000 miles -right rear bearing went at 5000 and again at 7,000 (wtf? potholes? I weigh ~180) -Clutch cable snapped at 5000 miles (my fault this time. Oil your cables!!!) -New clutch cable snapped when someone knocked my Vmax onto it. They should design these to handle 600-lb objects falling on them... |
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: | -Removed windscreen for looks/gluttony for wind punishment. -That left peg assembly was sticking out way too far, so I had to drop the bike a few times to bend it in! -Rear racing slick. (Oh, wait, my Dunlop is just worn down.) |
Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | West Side Highway above 42nd street is seldom patrolled by police and you can max out your bike. *EDIT* When your bike tops out at 98, that is... |
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | Buells are unique and American. They're great-looking bikes, for the most part. My local H-D dealer is terrible and I don't have a garage/driveway here in Manhattan. |
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | Better dealers. Plus, it's garbage that not all H-D dealerships do Buells. It's sad that my Yamaha dealer treats me like a king when I take my Vmax in but my Buell dealer treats me like crap when I push the Buell in. |
Life History/Philosophy: | Women and motorcycles will always be pains in the ass, so make sure yours are worth the trouble. |
Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): | 110 on my Vmax in a 40mph zone... |
Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): | Mobil 1 Synth |
