This video will show you how to perform an oil change on a 2007 XB12X Buell from start to finish, this will also be the same method for all XB motorcycles.

FYI, the most popular oil among Buell riders is 20W50 Amsoil full synthetic...

Best thing i did for my xb12ss was get that HD mineral oil out of my engine & primary & replace with Motul 20w 50 synthetic, the difference was totally noticeable. Quieter & cooler. Also make sure you remove that small bung on the opposite side of the crank case to get ALL of the remaining old oil out the engine!! There is about 200mils that remains in there if you only remove the swingarm bung, you end up putting nice clean oil in with that dirty shit if you don't, Beware though the manual states how much you should put back in but thats not correct if you remove that extra 200mils of old oil. You will use a whole 4ltr container for primary & engine & when hot the engine level will be smack bang right in the middle of the dip stick when on side stand & dip stick screwed right in & up to operating temp. It can be abit of a bitch getting that small alien key bung out depending on what type of exhaust you have but with my micron i just cut down the alien key & it slipped in without removing exhaust. It's a little more mucking around but its the only way you can be sure you are putting clean oil into a totally empty crankcase.

If Harley (and Erik Buell) wanted synthetic oil in the Buell they would have sent it to us with synthetic from the factory. My Harley-Davidson Road King makes too much mechanical noise with synthetic and my mechanic says the oil pressure drops off in Harley’s and Buells if you use synthetic. Your engine...Your choice.

Harley Davidson's oil is the best, rebranded, overpriced oil there is lol. Just use mobile 1 vtwin 20/50 full synthetic is what I use In my xb12s.i even use the mobile1 15w50 full synthetic from time to time in the cooler months ( it's a little thinner at start up and is just right at temperature) my buell has close to 20k and runs like new. Marketing is so terrible, I do not believe harley brand oil offers anything spectacular for its additional costs. Do your own research tho. These are great machines, and I suppose its mostly important to just make sure to change the oil regularly than fuss about brands. Harley brand oil makes me cringe tho, I'm sure it's a waste of money, and is a rebranded cheaper oil they sell, to help profits. Will it work? Of course, do they recommend it, definitely, does it cost more than a non rebranded premium oil, not in my experience. Give your bike some premium oil, she deserves it.
