Hydraulic clutch vs non hydraulic clutch

Not a big fan of bleeding brakes either.
Screwing with hydraulics and the possibility of air bubbles makes me nervous.
Besides, that's why I paid extra for the high holy service package when I bought the Buell.
I want to spend my time riding, not wrenching.

i actualy like doing most of the maintenance work myself. With a good mityvac bleeding is a breeze, but I do see the concern of getting air in the lines.

Speaking of the buells I need to make sure my local HD shop still services them, otherwise its going to be a bit of a trip for service.

The one by me blocked out the old buell sign so i was wondering if they were still servicing them. Will be fun to see when I bring it in for its 600 mile service and inspection

They most likely will.

Ditto. I have the parts to convert my TLR's hydro clutch. At some point in time I'll get off my ass and off the internet and do it.

Not all dealers have to offer the 7 year parts/service. There is a servicing agreement that each dealer must sign in order to receive the dealer incentives on Buells.

Many dealers who previous to the 10/15 announcement were dealers, are NOT going to be parts and servicing dealers going forward.

Yup, the law is written so that parts have to be available, it doesnt say anything about making it easy to get them

Interesting. Well guess a call is in order before you take your bike to what you think is your buell dealer. I know my dealer is still doing everything.

My dealer will still carry parts and service them.
They won't be servicing mine however.
I will order parts online from a dealership that used to actually support Buell (FT BSTRD, how's your shipping?) and do the work myself.

Oh, and I like the hydro on my 25R...
