I am replacing the stock air box on a 2000 Buell Thunderbolt S3 and am having troubles trying to determine how to route/attach the front vent hose. The hole...
if I recall correctly (my breathers have been wired to a catch can for a long time now), the vent hose that attaches to the nipple inside the airbox is held in...
I'll have to fiddle with it, it must be an alignment issue. There are 4 gaskets for the throttle body, I bought them new and the gasket that goes around the...
Mine, to be exact. 10,600 miles, Quicksilver metallic, Corbin seat, V&H muffler, all the Erik Buell signature stuff, recall shock and swingarm, easy a 9/10....
I been riding bikes for over fifteen years now since I was fourteen, started on a Yamaha 360 enduro and I need a bike for commute cause of gas prices. I want...
I would go with a used XB9 series. An 04 or 05 will be close to 5K there are deals out there. I would not buy a new motorcycle from a Dealer. If you are...
I would have to agree. You're fairly tall. I rode my wife's blast at one time. Being 6' tall, it was very uncomfortable, too small. The used market in Buells...
David, I'd pass on the Blast for a couple reasons. It's underpowered and small. With your size, SoCal freeway jaunts IMO would be pretty scary. The upside is...
I will disagree, someone has to, I mean this is a Blast Group. The bigger bikes are going to cost more to maintain and use more gas. So depending on your...
Opps, as I was hitting the "send" button, I realized this email wasn't to my Blast group, but to the Buell Tech group :) But except for the first sentence of...

Thanks for the responses. I read a few posts somewhere that these blasts were used for training and they have a 500 cc motor to them ,which is big compared to...
... i had to check to make sure i was in the right group- sorry for any offense. ... true, true. ... wow- i'd think that single would be screaming at 95mph....
The fuel injected 1000 cc Harley engine in the Xb9 series is really quite efficient. If ridden with a little care you can see mpg in the 50's. The Blast is...
The mileage you get will vary, sort of like the Governments rating stickers on cars, almost impossible to achieve those numbers. I believe I ride my blast ...
There have been some pretty wild mods performed on the Blast, but I don't think anyone has successfully turned one into an enduro yet. It would be a fairly...
I am truely disappointed in the top speed of these machines.I weigh in at a buck forty and have a race kit however top speed comes in at just under 160mph at...
If you're looking for top-end speed, then you're messing with the wrong bike. Mid range torque and carving corners is what they do best. Unless you're on a...
It's the gear ratios it really setup for quick 1/4 times to get it up above 160 you need another gear. Plus this is an old style engine designed for low end...
I think John Doe is a good name for you, since apparently 160 isn't fast enough to blow a tire at, they obviously won't be able to identify you when they are...
Shit man 160! I was able to eek 145mph from my 2002 X1 the other day and thought that was great. I was pushing redline and thats all I want to do on a country...
Sounds like a troll to me . . . Rider weight has nothing to do with it, the XB12s are gear limited to ~138 or so. Banging off the rev limiter at 6800rpm in...
You cant be serious....My Yamaha FZ1 (w /125 RWHP) wont go 160mph. John Doe <themightykickstand@...> wrote: I am truely disappointed in the top speed of...
AND its not like i do 157 everyday and further more i refuse to ride or drive anything from Japan.I can beat down the busas around town but the highway is a...
