[UltraVert]

Such a sick ass bike man... my favorite color combination too! A American made crotch rocket... what's not to love!

[mielke15]

try the drummer race slip-on can if you ever decide to change, I have an 09 xb12r and I used to have the jardine can. If you're willing to lose about 5mph off the top speed for a shit ton of mid range torque the drummer can's the way to go (not to mention it sounds like a fuckin beast throughout the rpms!), not gonna lie though I miss the smooth torque curve I got with the jardine

[MNel86]

I like how the speedos go up to 240 LOL Wishful thinking I guess...

[ukspizzaman]

@MNel86 The inner scale is km/h.. so that they dont have to replace it for Europe. Just being lazy I guess.

[jochend87]

im from PA scranton area..ide gix 1k..my buddy just gotone of these..nice brass knuckles on key chain lol

[jpklax88]

nice got the same bike, besides the air filter and the exhaust you do anything else to the bike. I have a tuning issue ever since i put my pipe on?

[KILLSWITCH402]

@jpklax88 Na that's all that's done to it. What kind of tuning issue?

[MarkXB12r]

Nice bike, I am from PA as well and I had the same exact year and color firebolt, I bought a spare muffler and sent it out to kd fabricatication, and then sold it about a year ago. I am riding a husky sm510r now.

[papafich]

was that a fuckin rooster in the background at the beginning? lol

[mushaddiv]

[KILLSWITCH402]

[matolabados]

[chavezzding]

@mushaddiv and knuckle dusters too on the keys

[BeeeAitchPeee]

@mushaddiv Dont forget the trusty "mono-wheel".... the mans wheelbarrow !!

[gw819]

just to warn you, with the wrap overlapped as much as it is, there is a high potential for damage to the header. it gets very hot with 2" wrap 1/4" overlapped, but with the 1" wrap, or more overlap, the wrap will be too thick, the pipe may get too hot and get damaged. just a warning, just what i've been told. black wrap looks sick tho, i've got some coming in for mine.

[KILLSWITCH402]

Thanks for the heads up. I actually thought about taking it completely off this spring since it started to come undone at the bottom near the can. I'm kind curious what it looks like underneath the wrap.

[gw819]

yeah i wonder.... never taken off wrap before. Probably quite purple... I hope not though, for your sake. best of luck man, nice bike. keep the rubber side down.

[jmvneto51]

What a very sad news (so in another video) this one of Buell closing down for business!

Never had a Buell but was thinking about it lately!

It could be anyone of the Japanese or even one of those Italians that comes and go, but Buell,... thats sad!

[qwerty2930]

[mal0ney13]

[Bodhizzle]

Thanks.

[valicaddy]

Dunno about the Buell, but the rooster seems to work fine. I say let it live!

[KIDCALDERON]

HAHA...YOU CAN HEAR THE ROOSTER AT 43Sec and 1:07...NICE BIKE MAN!!

[dirk6904]

hey i have an 07 xb12r with the jardine can, k&n, and race ecm...i've noticed it gets really fucking hotttt!!!! and i don't think its running 100%...it backfires all the time when i let off the throttle and sometimes through the airbox...anyways i was just wondering if yours does the same thing? i dunno but i think i might regret the doing all that shit to it...any info back would be greatly appreciated...thanks

[KILLSWITCH402]

Well as far as backfires go, its going to backfire during decel. just because there's less back pressure with the jardine can. (Mine does constantly) My bike does backfire up through the airbox every once and a while going from a stop, but its done that since day one. Does your fan come on while your bike is running? It might just be that the plugs are fouled out a little bit, because I'm thinking that might be what my problem is. Also, who installed your race ECM?

[dirk6904]

ya my fan runs constantly except when i'm doing 80mph down the interstate. I had the harley davidson dealer install the ecm. I'm thinking of taking my bike back to them and seeing if they can re-program the ecm or something. it seems to me that the timing is off, wich i don't know how it could be since its controlled by the ecm...i don't know!!! but i just ordered that db killer for the jardine can so i'm gonna wait to install that before i take it to harley davidson.

[bmewillow1985]

My suzuki V-twin does the same exact thing! I have a smaller CC (650) motor but did M4 exhaust, K&N with de-snorkel...and A power Commander. I get backfires through the airbox while decel. Just running richer maybe? Runs strong though doubt its something to worry about right...?

[KILLSWITCH402]

Hmmm...I think I might take a look at the air filter and make sure that its not burnt or turning black from it. But in all reality it should never backfire up through the air box. So obviously something isn't quite right. dirk6904, if you take it to a Harley dealer and they give you some info on this let me know, I'm rather curious myself.

[dirk6904]

hey killswitch402, does your bike hesitate really bad when you twist the throttle fast off idle? mine does... also did that exhaust wrap help a lot with heat?

[KILLSWITCH402]

No I don't think so. But as far as the heat wrap goes, it actually seemed like it made the heat radiate off it more than without the wrap...doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me but oh well....

[Frbyrd]

What Rooster is EVERYONE talking about!!????

[Adam986]

So...about that rooster video...

[TheRonaldo666]

Gonna get this bike soon, it's perfect for cutting through heavy Los Angeles traffic.

[acepilot79]

Wow that is an excellent job on the exhaust wrap! how did you do it, Which pipe did you do first? top down? etc... and what brand of wrap is that?

[KILLSWITCH402]

I originally wanted to take the header off but couldn't get to the back flange so I did it on the bike....just started from back to front doing the straight tube first. The brand I used was DEi, also using the high temp sealer.

[acepilot79]

sweet thanks a lot!!

[eGraeme]

how is the handlebar vibration while riding one of those?

[KILLSWITCH402]

I don't ever notice it until you come to a stop.

[eGraeme]

cool, thanks for the quick response!

[KILLSWITCH402]

no problem

[codeman0535]

amazing bike dude

[XDILikeTurtlesXD]

sounds like the bike woke up the rooster and not the rooster waking everyone else up lol

[jah2mail]

Rooster!! Rooster!!!

[diegopisante]

White Firebolt is beautifull to, I have the yellow sunfire in Brazil.

[KILLSWITCH402]
