How to fix motorcycle (Buell) wallows through turns?
To address the issue of a Buell motorcycle wallowing through turns, feeling loose after bumps, or exhibiting a 'pogo' effect, increase rebound damping.
What to do if Buell motorcycle has pumping on the rear when accelerating?
If your Buell motorcycle is experiencing 'pumping on the rear' with a long stroke and high frequency when accelerating out of a corner, it's likely that the shock is too soft. To resolve this, increase compression damping. If the adjuster is already at its maximum setting, add more preload to the spring, but only one turn maximum.
Why Buell XB12R 2010 bottoms out while cornering?
If your Buell motorcycle is bottoming out or dipping while cornering, or if it exhibits excessive brake dive, increase compression damping.
How to stop chattering during braking on Buell XB12R 2010?
If you are experiencing chattering during braking on your Buell motorcycle, decrease the compression damping. If the problem continues, decrease rebound damping for a faster rebound rate. Also, less spring preload may help.
What to do if Buell motorcycle has harsh ride over bumps?
If your Buell motorcycle is experiencing a harsh ride, particularly over washboard surfaces, with bumps kicking through the handlebars or seat, and the suspension seems unresponsive, reduce compression damping.
Why is my Buell XB12R 2010 sliding during cornering?
If your Buell motorcycle is experiencing sliding during cornering, decrease compression damping.
How to improve tire feedback on Buell XB12R 2010 Motorcycle?
If your Buell motorcycle lacks tire feedback and the suspension is too soft, increase compression damping.
What causes pumping on the rear with short stroke on Buell XB12R 2010 Motorcycle?
If your Buell motorcycle has a 'pumping on the rear' with a short stroke and high frequency when accelerating out of a corner, and the shock is too hard, decrease compression damping.
What to do if wheel on Buell motorcycle doesn't return to ground quickly after bump?
If your Buell motorcycle's wheel responds to a bump but doesn't return to the ground quickly afterward, especially over a series of bumps (often referred to as 'packing down'), reduce rebound damping.
How to prevent tire slides on Buell XB12R 2010 Motorcycle?
If your Buell motorcycle's tire slides, decrease compression damping.
