Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
3215 KMS.
I purchased this beauty new from Barnes Harley Davidson in May of 2006. Other than the front header glowing a dull red one morning when I started it up and the engine sounding like a can full of nuts and bolts it has been a very good bike. The pipes are a nice blue colour now which I suspect is just due to factory lean condition.I took it in for it's first service (1600 km's) and when I went to pick the bike up, it ran like a piece of crap. Unfortunately no one had noticed this when they called me to come and pick up the bike. I had to wait another 3 days for a new throttle positioning sensor. They say that the one on the bike just decided to pack it in when I arrived.
|
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: |
Duell Pia Driving lights. Excellent night time performance.
Factory side bags.
|
Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): |
This is my daily driver now and my trip to work has a few really long twisty bits at the interchanges. I have only had this bike for 6 weeks now but I would have to say that cruising down to White Rock has been one of my favourite rides so far.
|
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
The thing about buells is that they are drastically diferent most other bikes on the road.I have had many people pull up and comment on my ride. Most people that do this have never heard of the brand name (Buell).
|
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
The one thing taht drives me nuts about this bike is that stupid fan. In this day and age one would think that they could make a fan that was silent or close to it. If one ever comes on the market I will be first in line to buy one. This is the reason I,m looking for a new exhaust system. - to drown out the fan noise.
|
Life History/Philosophy: |
Started riding motorcycles at age 7. Started riding on the street at age 16 and rode until I was 21. Now at age 48, i'm back in the saddle. I convinced my wife that I was buying the bike due to the fuel savings and it worked.
|
Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): |
220 km's (old Kawasaki 900 Z1) 150 km's on my new Ulysses
|
Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): |
So far the oil is what the dealer used. 20/50 Harley oil
