A short ride around the block with the GoPro mounted with their suction cup mount. This mount does a much better job than the handlebar mount but the camera still vibrates a good bit.
The boost controller is set to ~15psi in every gear.
The bike is running a bit rich at that boost level which causes the couple of stutters during hard acceleration at 2:35 and 6:10.
The slipping clutch is evident in the 4th and 5th gear pull at 6:12.
The GoPro picks up an occasional rattle noise when the intake plumbing slightly vibrates against the tank cover (what the GoPro suction cup is attached to).
At 8:58 a guy in a white SUV asks what kind of bike it is and at 10:08 and 12:48 I talk to a guy riding a Triumph. He asks if it's a 500, haha!
At 10:40 a woman tries to cut me off.....Grrr!

As of now I've seen 158 ft-lbs to the rear wheel. Once I finish the clutch improvements I have planned, I expect to put down between 165-170ft-lbs. The turbo never "kicks in", it's only there when you twist the throttle and it's very easy to manage the throttle and power!
Keep up the good work
8:55 is the moment every Buell rider knows well ;)
Instead of an intercooler, which would take up lots of space, I use water injection to cool the intake charge and reduce the chances of detonation.
"hey what kinda bike is that" that's why I love streetfighters and most of all buells.
Haha! "What kind of bike is that?" I get that all the time too. Nice bike....love the turbo setup. 👍
Curious .. the turbo is getting you to top RPM faster, have you been able to move the goal post of the Red-line to achieve a higher top speed? and of so will that 12 get you to a buck sixty ?
2.) are you using a bigger oil inter-cooler as well ?
Thanks.
Raging Lion Roar = Best bike sound ever.
this video made my week.i want one so bad bro. a couple paychecks to go.
Your bike is an absolute BEAST! Too bad the roads and driving/riding there looks pretty boring :-(
Congrats on the build!
Sooo clean my friend. I don't always whistle at girls, but when I do...I use my turbo. Safe Riding.
The XB9 and XB12 motors have similar crank and rod setups from 2003 until 2007. The 2008-2010 XB9 and XB12 models have the stronger cranks rods. Your 2006 crank should hold up to some abuse but may not last long if it sees extremely high rpm or big power (way beyond stock).
I don't have an odometer to calculate fuel efficiency with but I have run down the interstate and noted the mileage between gas stops. It gets around 42 mpg on the highway cruising around 80 mph. The fuel efficiency drops as I spend more time in the throttle but I don't have a way to calculate it around town.
I ran it once down the strip several months ago. I with a soft launch and short shift through 1st and 2nd I ran an 11.30 at 121mph. I look forward to going back and running it again!
Just getting my monthly view of this video. Quite an inspiration really. I have a 2004 XB12R whose engine is starting to knock. I plan on tearing it down this winter... hopefully I can make the time to start a nice turbo project which you have made so much easier to tackle.
Have you been back to the track with it, or solved the clutch-slip? Nice work.
It has put down 186hp on the dyno but the clutch and/or rear tire was slipping so it has more than that:). Ya, I have to use restraint while in lower gears.
My Buller friend... get the chest mount.
Very similar angle... but soooooooo much better for absorbing vibration.
Cheers,
WOLF (OZ Buell)
Awesome. So glad you got it all back together. Good work.
Very Cool! Wheelie machine! How much power do you think its making? was 11.30 with out being able to really stomp it first few gears?
That is awesome, I wish Harley would've let Buell put the turbos on
"Subbed" - thank you for all your feedback and your invaluable do diligence with all the work on your bike. I know I have appreciated it and many New Buell owners will as well. I am contemplating pulling the trigger on an XB9S . my only serious gripe is implementing a hydraulic clutch which would probably be my first "have-to-have" upgrades.
Looking forward to more Vids !
Thanks again.
Far Eric what a beast!!! your the man!!! N.Z. Boi !!!Aotearoa!!!
Excellent ride, btw .. how were you bale to get a taller gear ? I have been in the forums and i have heard everything from changing the drive wheel on the back to converting to chain drive etc..
The 9 has a shorter stroke theoretically could get a higher RPM ?
Thanks. Again, excellent work.
Great work! Glad to see it is running!
Very nice job indeed! Congrats. Any updates on the latest progress?
I'm curious: I own 4 Buells, and no XB that I've ever seen has the instruments shown in the video. Why were they swapped out? Couldn't you just add a boost gauge on the handlebar?
Do you know how much torque you make? Also does the turbo ever kick in at a bad time while going around corners? zright now I just have a 883 sportster but next I'm buying a XB12R or possibly a 1125CR.
i couldnt stop laughing. i get that too. i also get "what kind of exhaust is that? it sounds mean" i say "its called harley"
Nice setup, would like to do that to my Buell someday! I have a 2005 XB12scg, enjoy every ride, sounds awesome with a turbo on it though.
OH MY GOD. HOW DO I GET THIS
is it the xb9 or xb12??
How much the chain conv. set you back ? (Time+Material)
Bike is sweet, I was checkin out the website and saw it was dyno'd in gainesville. You live around there? i want to see this thing at test and tune.
I'm in Gainesville. Where are you?
ezracing900 Im in St. Johns, I go to test and tune sometimes but I dont run because I never got my nhra license.
Sure is! I check out BuellXB on a daily basis and post on there from time to time as EricZ.
And a Volvo wagon in the lane! hahah YES, nice ride, nice bike. I enjoyed the video. =)
A lot of people look at my XB12R and ask if it's a 600". "Only if you don't count the second cylinder" I reply. Have you ever taken it down the drag strip? Would love to know what it does down the 1/8th mile. Would love a Turbo on mine.....
but can you tell me how to make the change what is thank you
Is it legal where you are to not have a speedometer?
It's an air cooled motor just like all other XB and tube frame models.
Holy shit ive seen you lol this was on 39th ave in gainesville
Yup, thats me:)
Your Volvo is awesome dude!!
:)
2:25, 6:06 are a couple of the pulls.
How is the bike cooled?
Next video you do splice all the action together.
Nice video
Scary chemtrail sky
OW!
It's XB12s !?
You have assembly turbocharge.
Nice Bike!
I'm hope ride it in Taiwan.
would be nice if you had it mounted to your helmet so we could see your perspective
Awesome Buell
where is here?
Makes me wish I kept my S1 Lightning
Thanks, man! I love that car!
Hello from France.
I have a Buell XB12 S and I love it, you drive your Buell perfectly.
you have pictures of your Buell on the video I do not see it.
Btmfgreatly I'm 6'4 mine is extremely comfortable. Just make sure to get the lowered driver foot pegs
Love it! That bike is brutal ;)
that thing is wicked
nice bike bro!
Ha. 8:55 indeed. Is this the build I saw on BuellXB.com?
Interesting. I figured with a turbocharger it would generate higher temperatures and would require an intercooler.
Does anyone else get to about 3500 revs in this filmclip and start tripping on LSD...?
Live i Germany like me and you can ride this beautiful beast full speed ;)
water injection ist the best solution for a motorcycle :-)
2:02
SVT COBRA
thats narley
amazing, great buell :)
lmao i was expecting to see him miss 2nd gear...
WOW! ;)
FUCKING YES BROHAM. !! Fuck chirp'n the tires n'btween shifts how about pop wheelies ;)
