[Buell peg upgrade]

Yes, you can assume that.

You do need to remove the top nut from the threaded rod portion and cut the rod shorter.

On the kickstand side, I cut off the arm that you use to snag the stand with your foot. That was the piece that interfered with my foot and shifting. I also did the 6mm shim to the rear shock, so while the stand was off I heated it up and straightened it to make the bike sit more upright. Lower the shift lever 1 groove down....works perfectly. You can still easily put the side stand down using your foot on the bottom foot portion of the stand.

Hope that helps

i noticed that davesxx01 was selling a peg lower mod. does it have the same issues as the buell mod?

[Buell peg upgrade]

i followed the instructions on this forum and did the buell peg upgrade. i liked the idea of this upgrade because i did not have to modify the bird and i could easily go back to stock.

the right side peg went on easily but i couldnt lower the brake pedal enough for normal operation w/o trimming the adjustment screw (not an easy task).

i installed the left peg and it interferred w/ the kickstand. if i lowered the shifter then everytime i shifted i hit the kickstand. i reinstalled the stock pegs.

can i assume that with any of the "peg lowering" options on this forum i will run into the same problems?

thanks... therealshake

[Running extremely rich!!!]

HI everyone. I just bought a 2000 xx and i'm having a problem. the bike is running extremely rich. i can smell gas coming out the tailpipes. the bike bogs down when i pull off in 1st gear and cuts out/ surges @ 3500 rpm's. my mechanic tells me there is no fault code on the FI. any ideas or guidance is greatly appreciated. BTW... I'm 53 yrs old and I'm glad to be here.

thanks,
