Fellow Buell Enthusiasts and BadWeBrs,

Please, please help us help ourselves by once and for all beginning today posting ALL tech issues/topics/questions including product discussions, maintenance issues, troubleshooting issues, anything and everything to do with stuff on a Buell motorcycle or the apparel and components we use when we ride or the adjustments and settings used... please post anything that fits into one of the KV topics to that appropriate KV topic. Please.

Please.

I'm begging here. This board and the other model specific boards except for the Thumper Forum are a complete mess, a disorganized disaster. Please help us get the place back in order. Please. I know it takes a bit of effort. I know at first your tech posts may go ignored. I have a solution for that too, a simple noteboard in each model specific board to let you plea for help and post a link to your KV thread if needed.

Right now I'm going to move all muffler related topics to the Knowledge Vault's "Exhaust..." topic.

If you see someone posting a thread to the Quick Board, or the XBoard, or the BB&D board, that should be in the KV, PLEASE help me out and give them a gentle reminder.

If we ALL start using the KV, it will become once again a very useful and busy part of the board.

right now I count well over half of the topics in the Quick Board and XBoard that should reside in an applicable KV topic. I'll be moving them there, so if you cannot find your thread, check the KV. Or do a search by author for your username for the last couple days.

That's another thing. The search utility on this board is lightning fast compared to others. Please take advantage of it. It allows you to combine the various options thus allowing you to narrow down your searches quite efficiently.

If you are not taking advantage of the "New Messages" search option, you are missing out on the easiest way to browse this site. Please check it out if you have not yet tried it. Of course the first time will not do much. But after that it will work like thunder.

Thanks in advance for your help and understanding,

Blake and also on behalf of all the BadWeB Custodians.

Wow, you've got a hell of a job to fix that, but it's good to keep the above thing in mind..

If I don't read the board one or two days, it sometimes takes me an hour or more to keep up..

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Rob,

I'm not so sure I'll be combing each and every archive and moving everything applicable to the KV, but I'm hoping we can at least get everything applicable from here on out posted to the KV.

FYI, some, even many of the KV topics only have the "Start New Thread" link located at the bottom - left of their subtopic lists. We'll be adding another such link atop each subtopic page too. But until then, please be aware of the current link location.

Thanks all,

Blake
