Author Message   Vagelis46 Posted on Friday, March 06, 2015 - 04:42 pm:        Hello , I have located a used 2008 1125R with 3000miles in GREECE and I have traded my beloved XB12R for it. The H-D dealers here in Greece are not trustworthy and I had many problems with my XB until I got a service manual and did the service myself. For example when I bought the XB from the H-D dealer in Greece in 2006, they had not performed the recall to replace the steel for the bronze worm gear for the oil pump, so the steel gear failed at 5000miles and the engine broke down. It was replaced under warranty but I was very dissaponted. I do not want something similar to happen for my 1125R, because a recall has not be made by the dealer...... So I am asking if it is possible for somebody with access to recall information to check this 1125R for me. I am more worried for the 5th gear 0834 Recall kits, (part number 94678Y), but also other possible issues, that I have no idea at the moment. Can I buy the 0834 recall kit(part number 94678Y) to install it myself ? Manufacturing date ..........MAR 08 V.I.N................ 04R583B01931 Thanks..........   Cmgaviao Posted on Friday, March 06, 2015 - 05:16 pm:        Is HD still responsible for the recall work on these? Or is there some sort of statute of limitations?   Vagelis46 Posted on Friday, March 06, 2015 - 06:02 pm:        Basically I do not mind if H-D does the recall.... I want to know if it was done ..if not I could do it myself ...   Brokengq Posted on Friday, March 06, 2015 - 06:18 pm:        If nobody else has an answer for you in the morning EST I can run a VIN check for you when I get to work, which will be about dinner time tomorrow for you.   Brokengq Posted on Friday, March 06, 2015 - 06:20 pm:        Also, recall work is recall work. Recalls have an open date and an end date when released. Typical recall periods are 10 years, and the HD dealerships state side still take care of 08 1125's all the time.   Vagelis46 Posted on Friday, March 06, 2015 - 07:04 pm:        Thanks ...Brokengg..looking forward to your info...   Badgerbueller1125 Posted on Monday, March 09, 2015 - 10:24 am:        Vagelis46... I looked your bike up for you and the information I have states that the 0834 recall was completed in 2008. The brake line relocate and ECM recalibration were also done.   Vagelis46 Posted on Monday, March 09, 2015 - 12:59 pm:        Badgerbueller ... thanks ! I guess the ECM recalibration increases the fuel consumption ? Because the early 1125 models were considered thirsty , yes ? (Message edited by vagelis46 on March 09, 2015)   Dennis_c Posted on Monday, March 09, 2015 - 01:34 pm:        I did not see any increase in fuel consumption with a race ecm with a Barker ex. I get 31 city low 40 to 48 at 55 mph to 80 mph   Vagelis46 Posted on Monday, March 09, 2015 - 01:44 pm:        I was trying to say...better fuel consumption after the recalibration...i.e. better miles per galon ...   Brokengq Posted on Monday, March 09, 2015 - 01:56 pm:        Vagelis, many apologies that I did not get back to you on Saturday. It ended up being a very busy day, followed by me being closed yesterday. Glad someone got you the info. This is a great group.   Vagelis46 Posted on Monday, March 09, 2015 - 02:15 pm:        Thanks Brokengg ....   Pariah Posted on Monday, March 09, 2015 - 06:03 pm:        Giasou Vageli! Na pas sto kalo me to kinourio motosikleto! Sorry if my greek isn't very good... I knew it as a child but lost much of it growing up around non-greek speakers Takis   Badgerbueller1125 Posted on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - 09:45 am:        The information I was looking at also stated that it had a midnight black frame. Is that correct? I was under the assumption that 08's ONLY had the diamond blue frame.   Dennis_c Posted on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - 10:33 am:        08 only ones with blue frame   Vagelis46 Posted on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - 06:18 pm:        Ela Taki ! Pos eisai file ? Ego meno Thessaloniki.... esy ? The 1125r has a blue frame ...... I am waiting for it to be shipped to me from Athens...Looking forwar..... it should arrive this week ! ! I have made my homework on how to remove the solenoid.....ha ha ha I am also waiting to see how it handles compared to my XB12R ..... can't wait !   Pariah Posted on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - 06:48 pm:        Ime kala, ke ime apo to Canada, ke tora meno sto Canada, sto Toronto. Omos gia theka xronia (2003-2013) imouna stin Ameriki (Texas). O pateras mou itane apo to Molaoi (ine maniatis). In Canada, the support for Buell is minimal, not much better than what I would gather you are experiencing in Greece. I don't know what I would do without this forum, the people here make it possible to own and maintain this bike. Please share your experiences on XB12R versus 1125R! It must be excellent riding around where you are. Would love to see pictures, too!!! Only if you happen to have some Ride safe file!
