2007 Buell XB9R

[Jet-Lee]

Been watching this bike on craigslist for a while, just never been able to hold money to buy one. After selling Lexy, I had a lump of cash. I managed to work with this guy and he let it go to me.










Blast, XBlast and XB hehehe



Did:
-Began tuning via ECMSpy and ECMDroid
-Got my front blinkers mounted last night, not as scared of popo anymore.
-Cleaned up wiring behind front fairing.
-Loosened the lower triple tree since my wheel was still tweaked a little. Loosened both sides, wiggled the wheel back and forth and kicked it a few times. Then tightened the tree back up. Now the bars and wheel are aligned perfectly.
-Changed forks preload from 4 to 5.5, compression/rebound to 1.5 each and rear to #3 with compression/rebound to 1.5/1.25
-Tighten mirrors
-Straightened left bar
-Found nipple
-Removed belt guard
-Tightened rattling front fender
-White wire mod
-Shimmed headlight bracket so it fits in the hole better
-Replaced some chrome allen bolts with black carriage-bolt-style fasteners
-Put two bolts in the seat instead of just one
-Replaced bent bolts in airbox cover and used all four instead of two
-Installed fourth bolt in upper shock mount bracket
-Bolted down bracket holding front brake line
-Re-installed front flashers
-Plugged two nails in rear tire
-Re-organized wires behind dash
-Fixed key-latch for pillion
-Installed tray inside pillion
-Fixed battery positive connection (starts so much better now)
-Removed extra bracket from tag frame
-New Amsoil 20w-50 in engine and transmission
-New oil cooler scoop
-New Brisk BR10ZS plugs

To Do:
-Looking for rear tire and asking shops what they charge to press out/in wheel bearings.
-Get a hold of lunaticfringe and get some of those EBC HH brake pads.
-TPS reset
-Strip paint
-Springs for pegs
-Acquire passenger pegs and mount the hangers/pegs.

Very nice score indeed .. This one looks like it will be fun ..

I wonder how the light output of that custom setup is compared to the OEM parts. It looks like you got a nice new toy!
Still putting RB's heart into an XB frame?

Good luck with it Lee nice bike if I was to buy another Buell that be the one I'd want.

Tim Hackbert would love that paint job, me - not so much - not really a go army guy - still - nothing a good paint job couldn't cure, and I like the front fairing - a euro offering - one HID kit later and you'll have all the light you'll need, and none of the stock XBR lighting hassles to live with. That's a plus! Just have to sit down with ecm spy and show it some tuning love, a new rear tire - recommend Michelin Road Pilot 3, for the average rider they are beating everything out there, and what I would have went to, but I kept getting free new Pirrelli stockers, so never switched. Of course the obligatory oil change - top and bottom, probably adjust the clutch while I'm there just to make sure of stuff. Should be golden - I would just ride her for a bit after that to get used to her then new paint, frame sliders and axle sliders - and she'll be a keeper all the way through to grandchildren and their darn fangled electric motorcycles!

Check the wheel bearings if suspect. My 03s rear bearings are shot and need to be replaced

Hooray Lee! Let me know what you think of the XBR. I still haven't managed to pull redline at wot in first on mine.

second on the michelin pilot roads, but there's a PR4 out now that is like 20 bucks more but are purported to give 20% more mileage. I run pr's on my 12. Love em.

Looks nice. Swing by sac and we'll go play up in the hills here : )
