Nice bike! I Just picked up a 2003 xb9R. You are definitely right about the low RPM throttle input throttle input. Really jerky. Thinking about taking it to a local tuner, sense there is really no information on how to tune these bikes. I have a Buell tooth, so I may try data loging.
@@kylehazelton That low idle is not good for the engine. I'm amazed that the oil light doesn't come on. I think that the low power you refer to is the cold oil and low rpm. From a felow BUELL lover (I have a XB12S), you really should increase it to 1050 rpm and do a proper TPS reset. Don't ride her with such low idle.
@motosRAT Once we get above negative temperatures here, ill plug it into the computer and get back to you about the idle speed because i think you're exaggerating how low my idle is. But to each their own.
My fz09 is a much more aggressive riding experience. The xb is very well balanced between comfort and performance. That's a tough call for me, i really like having both.
If its original and well taken care of, they can be very reliable. Some have converted to carb over the stock fuel injection for more peace of mind. But with most bikes, how it's been maintained is the biggest factor.

Please keep up the videos and make one of you riding on some back roads
I'll do my best. Life is a little complicated at the moment, but I will try to get some more out this summer. I appreciate the feedback 🙏
When my bikes are cold and its cold out they have very little low end power. Just gotta warm up so the right amount of air gets in. Choke helps.

Planning on picking up an S3 in the next couple weeks and riding up to Fond du Lac to surprise my grandma, Might see you on the road!
Nice, man! I love the s3's and s3t's!
love your content Kyle, but why is the video quality only 360p today?
Because i dont get enough activity here for UA-cam to prioritize my quality. It takes hours sometimes for 1080p to come through.
@@kylehazelton I didnt realize that its UA-cam that controls that, interesting learned something new today!
@leepierce3256 yea, it's all youtubes doing. 1080p should be available soon. Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching!
@@kylehazelton yep its 1080p now
Man, you really should increase that idle, they are set at around 1050 rpm, and do a proper TPS reset.
I have, my idle adjuster is fucked.

@@kylehazelton I'm just speaking from what I can see on your tachometer.
In the market for a new bike. Considering XB12S or FZ/MT09. In terms of overall riding experience which do you enjoy more?
My fz09 is a much more aggressive riding experience. The xb is very well balanced between comfort and performance. That's a tough call for me, i really like having both.
Thanks for the feedback! I think I’m going to pull the trigger on the XB while these things are still in the market with low mileage.
Is the 2002 buell X1 lighting a reliable bike?
If its original and well taken care of, they can be very reliable. Some have converted to carb over the stock fuel injection for more peace of mind. But with most bikes, how it's been maintained is the biggest factor.
Where is this? Looks like tulsa, ok.
Im in Wisconsin
