V.I.N. (To aid in problem resolution. Will not be displayed or shared otherwise.) : | (Hidden) |
Servicing Dealership: | ?.... uh none. |
Performance Mods!: | V&N exhaust, K&N air filter, carb rejet |
Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | 4000 miles- under 1K when bought, stock exhaust-repeated breakage (approx. 1000 miles), bolts which have vibrated loose, rocker box oil leak, air box stripped screw and hoses which come undone |
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: | |
Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | Nothing too scenic around this concrete jungle but late nights offer some respite from the congestion. |
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | I got a great deal on it with what I thought was very low mileage. It's a tough little bike and alot of fun, though not too comfortable. |
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | countless ways to improve the Blast by putting more pride into manufacturing and using more resilient parts & design (but I know they scrapped the model) |
Life History/Philosophy: | Grew up in Ft. Worth, got into riding in my early 20's. Owned a few basket cases, rode a Ducati several years back. The Blast was the first bike I owned since 2006, and I was just thrilled to be riding again. It'll do until my broke ass gets through college. The gas mileage is unbelievable. Rain, shine, cold or heat, I'd rather be on 2 wheels anyday. |
Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): | 125 or so on another bike, 95 or so on the Blast |
Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): | Tried the Mobil1- 15w50 as suggested and am satisfied |
