Im probaly taking the bike to the dealer a little after the sun rises and they open but I just wanted to see if anybody had any ideas first. All of a sudden my bike stubles at about 6000 rpm, especialy if im hard into the throttle, it will climb just like normal but then all of a sudden start bucking like its cutting in and out. It kinda feels like hitting the rev limiter, but isnt the rev limiter a bit higer on a 9. But it doesnt do it if bring it up and ease through the rpms only if im into the throttle. Any thoughts would be great. Oh and by the way i had the upper and lower air box out today looking at it and thinking about cutting the upper airbox, but decided to wait till i had all the hardware with me all at once, so i just put everything back together.

just make sure it does what you tell them because they have a habit of telling you it's not doing it and then that is when you have to shell some money out of your pocket

So i dropped it off at the dealer sat mourning. The guy calls me up at like 3 to tell me its done. I shoot back down there all excite to have it fixed. He tried blaming it on me messing around with the air box and said i shift the velocity stack out of alignment. All well and good so i take it for a quick test ride before my ride leaves and the problem is still there. I bring it back and tell him its as bad or worse and he takes it out for 2 test rides and proceeds to tell me hes baffled. So now i have to wait till tues. for him to be able to call buell and ask them what they think. arrrggghhhh.

I have found that die electric silicone cures a lot of evil things. Put on all plugs, expressly the O2 sensor, throttle sensor, temp sensor. computer plugs.

Ya know, I've cured more cars and bikes that have had weird running problems with a correction of a flaky ground than anything. Just yesterday, the shop XB was running like total crap, even turned on the engine light (but didn't save a code). Turns out the wires on the right side of the battery (that are held by a little torx screw to the right side rail) were just a little loose. Tightened it up, runs like a champ.

Ground problems suck, but I've learned to assume that ALL non-mechanical problems (i.e. not failed metal problems, but crappy running engine problems) are ground problems until proven otherwise. They're usually cheap and easy to fix!
