    The 09-10 models have twin O2 sensors don't they.
    If so they have quite a bit of built in learning ability.Unlike my ole X1.
    Not a 100% sure but could possibly get away with the self learnt tune(a workmate was told that by AMPS,he bought new 09 a few months ago).
    Don't think ECM spy is working/updated for 09-10's.
    You could also talk to John at TripleZ reguarding tuning,if needed.

    As to exhausts?,What are you after?.Noise?.Power?looks?..the sound is a very personal choice.

    Theres nearly as many threads out there for exhausts as there are oil..
    Check out Utube for Buell sound clips..

    Lots of good reading found here.

    To own two is to know why. Depends on your mood. I respect the S3, but if I feel like thrashing the nuts off something (like this arvo), I take the SV.

    PS: Congratulations on the bike. That's a nice machine and a shitload too at a bargain price.

    Cheers for that linky so it seems that out of the multitude of aftermarket cans available only the XB900 benefits in a big way.as for the XB12 only the Buell Race or the Micron offer power and Torque improvments.

So now my Speed Triple will have a companion in the shed.
    I noticed that WMC had some Buells for sale - one very sexy red one (probably the XB12SS) and a Ulysses which caught my attention - about $14k with luggage included - I wonder about the future support for these bikes, WMC said there ought to be no problems

    Sorry Genie have been riding the Buell all weekend, so I will give Buell and Triumph a bit of a tub up tomorow and take some Photos. Got to say though I love my Buell its not the most powerfull bike on the street but its just so much fun to ride I will have to get a new zorst or get the stock can opened up cos it deffinatly needs to make more noise.

    Stunning, I have had the privilege of taking both for a wee spin. Both faarken awesome bikes. Thanks Steve...

    As for how many. Bikes are like women, they are all different. I've still got three in my garage after writing one off last month.
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    I have an 07XB12R that I bought new from amps ( paid heaps more than 13K ). did a K&N filter at 500 km and the factory race pipe and computer at 1500 km. I got the race pipe second hand back then as the new ones had gone.
    If I had stayed living in the city I probably would have switched back to stock, made it lumpy round town, uncouth and agro.
    they are not a horsepower bike but they are fast in there own way.
    there are a few folks around who can modify the stock pipe, not a bad option.
    the after market computers are a bit better to tune but cost more for the initial setup.
    PM me if you want I can tell you all I learnt about it in 07.

    Well off topic, but do you think you could add 'boycott Mobil' to your sig? Or is it only cool to follow the latest boycotting fads? Exxon Valdez '89 disaster;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exxon_Valdez_oil_spill

    BP are'nt the only naughty ones.....this is not a personal attack I just think what Mobil did to that community was worse and it seems the world has forgotten, and I find it hypocritical when people use Mobil yet preach boycott BP.

    Again sorry guys I know this is wildly off-topic here!
