Raptor Chapter

Well problem solved I reckon! Stripped the whole back end down and checked all the linkages which were all free and easy. Noticed the bottom of the shock was wet from oil and reckon its blown the seal and dumped all the oil out and hence there is now no damping only the compression of the spring. S...

The time has come to say bye bye chaps. Big thanks to Admin and the Mods - I know it ain't easy at times (cos I'm a Mod on the Buell site)
To the rest of you, ride safely and hopefully I'll see more of you at East Kirkby this year

Thanks, it's been fun

If you want I'll start things off by taking the carbon fibre bits?????????

I so don't fink so It'll be stripped for the track and the new shock'll be given some exercise

I'm thinking of selling my Xtra. It's about 10k miles on it, PC, new tyres, CRG levers, cans and a spanking new Hagon shock. Fork oil just changed and motor oil+filter binned every 1.5k. All std kit included. My garage is full of Buells and I've just ordered a 1125R, so I could do with the space :l...

Adam, you git!! I would have preferred the Xtra if a decent one had been available at the time. Best of luck with the sale and hope the 1125r is all you hope it to be.

The track to my house is 3/4 mile long and in a MUCH worse state than that. 1:4 hill, deep mud and potholes with 3" of water
Nail it in 2nd gear and get them rooster tails

Howdy matey. Saw you out to play last night

I have quite strong opinions on this formed over 35 years of owning over 60 bikes


Buy a Scottoiler - stops yer chain rusting

Thought you already knew, Adam! I wasnt trying to hide or be someone else, honest!! I personally wouldnt go for a 1125 til they had been around a while, just dont trust Buell to get it right at first go, plus they need to stop whacking it with the ugly stick!! Maybe it`ll look better in the flesh.....

Just realised, you're Kildaman ain't choo You're going to like the Rappy

I've got an Xtra Rap that's going to be sold if I decide to buy an 1125R Buell. I've also got a XB12Ss in the shed and think it's a bit of a 'nearly bike' + plus there's quite a few build faults and up grades the factory is keeping quiet about :roll: I'd sell this too but Mrs Adam likes riding it :l...

I like that screen. What's it off?
