It's just gross. Road dust, bug guts, a little oil too I suppose, baked on like the patina in a filthy New York pizza oven.

It's just a couple of spots, he exclaims hysterically, while scrubbing his garage floor with emaciated, chemically scorched hands. One hundred percent oil tight! A strained caricature of a smile stretches across his face, as the oil top-up can slips out of his grasp and crashes to the floor.

I'm pretty sure everyone has realized but no one has spoken about clutchpuck's obvious masochism. I imagine his wife roleplays as a Buell with him.

Included is a more succinct list of all the parts that are prone to leaking oil on a Buell: (problem locations are circled in red)

An extra quirk is that a leaking rear rocker gasket will have oil blow into the fan, shorting it out. My clutch cable had two leaks: one from rubbing through on the chin spoiler, and eventually one at the ferrule.  Interestingly I was talking with my dad today about oil leakage and the told me that in his British bike days you'd hear of people that would put a manual valve between the sump and engine, to prevent wet sumping during standstill. I don't think I'd manage a week without driving off with no oiling.

Picked up a 2015 Matte Graphite Street Triple R this weekend. Installed the Evotech Tail Tidy. Fantastic unit, really improved the look.  So far, it feels really different than the GS500F I'm used to, and this break in period is going to be really tough... Seik fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Mar 14, 2015 |

That looks fun, I'd like to get one of those things out to the middle of Wyoming or Utah or something and just let it rip for miles. By the way, you know nothing about hot exhaust until you ride a Buell XB.

Although the DRZ hasn't changed much they sure are upping the aesthetics :^) just picked it up. Got the itis and just can't shake super motos or motorcycles in general for prolonged periods Need to do something about that tail. Trying to stay legal. Wheels come factory anotized blue like the color on the plastics (looks purple though). Axle sliders are also factory these days. And wow, a stock exhaust that doesn't look like complete poo poo!

Though sometimes I wish I could get luggage for it for those crazy road trips I do, but I console myself with the jet-engine sounds the bike makes.
