Just saw this Rick. I haven't ridden the 1125 yet but hope to this weekend and I'll let you know what I think.

Starting in 09 they all have the ztl2.

I thought about upgrading, but the caliper looks like cast wrought iron...

Why would the xb need a slipper?

I have yet to lock up the rear on downshifting, and I sometimes use the engine for some serious braking..

I've never locked it either...but it would be nice. I've never really felt the need for one though. With a race license the XBRR slipper can be had.

And in my experiences the 1125 slipper, being vacume actuated, is not the end all.
Works great in gears 6-2, but the 2-1 shift I've gotten some chatter out of it.
This is the only bike I've ridden and "tried" the slipper though, so maybe that's just how they work... but I doubt it.

careful clutch lever modulation will allow you to slip it manually and even adjust how much engine braking/ back it in you want. who needs a slipper clutch?

I stayed out too long Saturday on the lake and missed getting a chance to ride the 1125R. I still plan to but guess I won't be getting the free gear cable lock.

If they have some left they will probly still give it to you.

I bought a drummer ss. Everthing just wipes off. And no lower fairing to remove...

Do the XB's have 2 drain plugs and a filter?
With the drummer I don't get oil on the exhaust anymore... but still on the kickstand.

Marko, a funnel contraption might work, but as the holes are on the side rather than the bottom... not sure. Carb cleaner works great to clean it off however.
