so i got off my bike and left it running so i could go open the garage door(my garage is under the house in the backyard)as i open the door i see my headlights moving away from me....Then the bike topples over onto its side and shuts off.....my throttle is buried halfway in the grass....i figured i smashed the crg mirror and adapter..pick the bike up and everything is still there..couple stress marks on the mirror mount but nothings broke...i had a rather deep hole in the lawn and a little mud on the bike and thats it....thank god |

You got lucky... Last weekend just two seconds after I walked away from mine it rolled forward and toppled over. Broke about and inch off my clutch lever but that was it. Thankfully I slapped on a set of frame pucks and DHM rear sliders two days earlier! The frame pucks work great, and yeah, my sensor works too. |

bob, Thank goodness for the grass. When mine tipped in the driveway I lost a good piece of my clutch lever (thanks again for your old one). But yep my sensor works, and Thank goodness for pucks and sliders.. |

Again, good to hear nothing serious occurred. Maybe this is a valuable lesson - Never get off the bike. I know what your thinking: what about when I am supposed to go to work. My answer to that: this valuable lesson you have just learned overrides any suggestion "supposed" of doing anything that would interfere with dismounting the motorcycle. Hope you have a comfy seat! But seriously, glad you are ok. |

you could just find a job where you can ride the motorcycle into the building and just do your work while mounted on it....like telemarketing or something!! |

my garage is my basement.....my house is built on a hill...i drive around the side of my house, down a hill and there is a garage door that leads into my little shop(basement) I normally don't have a problem but the concrete was wet and i didn't pull the bike up far forward enough |

What year is the buell XB with the tip over sensor. I have the '04 XBR and I don't think there is one on there. Tested it. |

Dong- Now we're onto something. What we NEED to start is live customer call-in tech support for the "stock" bikes, we could be sitting on them,just waiting, therefor our customers wouldn't have to be put on hold, we'd be like...let me see here... Ok, I have a 06 12S; we need a 9,SS, and the firebolts. Oh, and calls would be subjected to a charge. |
