What sort of specks are you seeing. I am still reading the damn manual to set the speedo how I want it

I want it to just show the ambient air temp not the stuff by the intake. It can be 40 degrees out an dif the bikes in traffic its saying temps up around 80.

I need to sit down with the manual and play around with the mode/toggle switches. it does have som eother good features I liked.

That's not a prob with the display, it's a problem with where Buell mounted the sensor. Move the sensor, problem solved. I have heard of guys putting it up in the airbox or ahead of the air intake port. Guess that makes it better.

I wish you could pick which 2 things you want displayed. I would like CT instead of AT and gear myself.

No, I just knew that Fatty worked at a Buell friendly dealership, so I went to him for answers on part numbers.
Emailed him last night at about 10:30, he had a response with correct part numbers, prices, and availability to me by 10 AM today.

Used that to my advantage. If my dealership hadn't agreed to cover like they did, I would have just ordered from Bumpus and done it myself.

Yeah, it really varied. Mine hit 9400 before it let loose. I noticed last year before I left a slight weep, dealer couldn't see it when I brought it in. (stupid me washed it before bringing it in, didn't want the brake fluid to ruin paint on cover) So they didn't do anything at the time.

My advice, watch the weep hole closely, if you see any fluid, have the dealer do the fix while it's under warranty.

FYI Bumpus does have the kit in stock
PN: X2086.1AM $232

Only other issues I've had were
one rear turn signal went out (warranty)
Instrument cluster fogged on cool mornings (warranty, got the 09 cluster )
Recall ECM flashes.
