Simple Buell Motorcycle Fork Rebuild

In this video, I do a quick and cheap rebuild on my 2007 Buell XB Lightning factory Showa forks. These same sized forks are used on 2005-2008 XB9 or XB12 Lightning and Firebolt models. The Lightning Low, SCG and Ulysses Buell models have different sized forks (double check seal part #'s) but rebuild process will be similar. Additionally, many other motorcycles use Showa forks so this video should still be helpful even for non-Buell brand bikes. If you found this video helpful, be sure to like, share and subscribe!

Recently stumbled upon your videos. I am enjoying them. Thanks for uploading. I have 2001 Blast, 2009 1125R, and a 2009 1125CR. Sold my 2006 lightning. Miss that dang thing. Keep on keeping on.

Gary we have similar tastes! I used to have an M2 :)

Just picked up an 1125CR and you’re one of the only channels still uploading. I’ve got some issues with it and I was wondering if I could ask you about them

[@WeakestofWeeks]

I have some more 1125 content coming soon too. Feel free to shoot me an email at [e-mail] and I'll see if I can assist

Probably the easiest video to understand. Thanks I’m thinking about switching from an xb12 to an 1125 just for the sheer power. What’s your opinion?

I've owned all of the Buells, including 1190 and the 1125 platform is my favorite and best bang for the buck! Don't get me wrong, I really liked my XB's for the torque but the 1125's rev so much higher. The 1125cr is the most amount of fun with different pulley gearing. It feels like it has XB torque but 40-60hp more depending if stock or not. Downside is thet you'll want to check valves every 12k miles and charging system can be a pain. I have a video on how to remedy the 1125 charging issues though.
