2nd recall Notice dated October 16, 2002

Buell Motorcycle Company has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2003 Buell Firebolt XB9R motorcycles built from 8-6-02 through 9-4-02. THE SAME DEFECT may be present on any 2003 XB9R that has had a replacement side stand installed as part of Product Program BP8. The defect could cause the side stand to bend or break without notice, thereby allowing the motorcycle to fall and potentially cause injury or property damage.

I was notified as their records list my XB9R model involved as identified by my Vehicle Identification Number.

Buell strongly urges immediate replacement. Parts should be available the week of 10/14/02

They said parts would be available for the 1st "replacement" the week of 8/21. I am hoping Santa brings me mine by Xmas.

Austin Buell did not have the new side stand when I had my bike serviced on 10/18/02.

There has been one recall issued on XB9R side stands, not two. There is a HUGE difference between a recall and a Product upgrade.

Good, he'd have been lying to you if he's said there was one. :) Hug him for me.

My apologies, I stand corrected. Anonymous is correct in stating there has only been one recall. Although the first replacement (8/22/02) was not referenced as a Product upgrade (at least on my notice), but as a new and improved sidestand to be replaced "in the interest of customer satisfaction". Technically the "one" recall, is on the new and improved sidestand. Hopefully the third time will be a charm!

Does anyone have the part number for the #3 sidestand? I would like to enlighten my dealer so that I might have it by Christmas!
