97xr400r 122 Posted October 4, 2017 I was wondering if any of you own/owned a Buell? I'm getting an itch and thought some of you might have some insight. Anybody care to chat about their bike over a free beer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 507 Posted October 4, 2017 Buells are good, fun bikes...know people who have had them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
97xr400r 122 Posted October 15, 2017 Thanks Randy. I pulled the trigger, 07 XB12S. It's a huge change from what I have had in the past... What a weirdo moto! I'm sort of enamored with it at the moment. Turns out your XR1200 is mostly the same engine! There is a cheap rat rod of a specimen on Craigslist at the moment https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/mcy/d/2003- buell-lightning-xbr9/6343653762.html Do you know anybody that could help me out with a TPS reset? I have the cable coming next week and will be getting ecm spy, cool stuff. BAROMBAaa! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KTMrad 507 Posted October 15, 2017 You could call SDBMW, they used to sell them, but don't know if they will work on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted October 15, 2017 The owner of Grove Motorcycle owned one - been a few years since I've been in. He was always good to deal with. Might try there...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 880 Posted October 15, 2017 I've done similar stuff on my Husky and Triumph, I'm more than willing to come drink your beer and watch you if you think that would be helpful? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

97xr400r 122 Posted October 21, 2017 YES! I've got the bike decently sorted out and the wife is working this weekend. Have bike will travel. Anybody looking to do 600+ miles of mountain roads this weekend? I'll probably wind up camping just outside of Kernville. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Achates+Power,+Inc.,+Sorrento+Valley+Boulevard,+San+Diego,+CA/Kernville,+CA/@34.3883107,-118.7808111,8.52z/data=!4m54!4m53!1m45!1m1!1s0x80dc070235343cb7:0xee68afccd4e4d418!2m2!1d-117.2176237!2d32.9038979!3m4!1m2!1d-116.7249136!2d33.721123!3s0x80db0ded27316f59:0xcf9606daf64592e5!3m4!1m2!1d-116.8880785!2d34.1706751!3s0x80db4b5fddafbdbd:0x7350fe3a17f061e3!3m4!1m2!1d-117.1971347!2d34.2856885!3s0x80c3581e47b11ac7:0x889566c9cffb2251!3m4!1m2!1d-117.2581717!2d34.2399184!3s0x80c35730f6382799:0x17b3df7041361ca7!3m4!1m2!1d-117.7996399!2d34.4220017!3s0x80c31baee0b8ada9:0x7880f440e087c325!3m4!1m2!1d-118.3524761!2d34.6395707!3s0x80c266338df1fdf7:0x9d255e48377f2f9e!3m4!1m2!1d-118.3968287!2d35.0900851!3s0x80c21c28f4d7de4b:0x1bd6c70cd05dc97e!3m4!1m2!1d-118.393962!2d35.3692841!3s0x80c1eeaa6433f09f:0xa79544a73c704b39!1m5!1m1!1s0x80c1c616da20a44b:0xcc34a0105b8ee024!2m2!1d-118.4253627!2d35.7546732!3e0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted October 21, 2017 I'll be at keyesville Sunday night if you're still around Kernville. Keyesville is a blm area on the West side of the lake just a couple miles north of 178 on 155. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been meaning to check the area out for DSing around... looks like a great place. Found a spot to throw down the tarp for the night and not far from good breakfast. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/34.363898,-117.2252618/The+Aviator+Cafe,+Summit+Valley+Road,+Hesperia,+CA/@34.3911484,-117.2859215,7671m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m8!4m7!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x80c35cffe14f0ca7:0x531c8430792027ed!2m2!1d-117.3123852!2d34.3793368 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
