Turbo Buell XB GoPro tank mount

For more information, check out my build website at www.streetfighterperformance.com
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.

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!

"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.

Sooo clean my friend. I don't always whistle at girls, but when I do...I use my turbo. Safe Riding.

My Buller friend... get the chest mount. Very similar angle... but soooooooo much better for absorbing vibration. Cheers, WOLF (OZ Buell)

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).

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.

@ezracing900 10 жыл бұрын

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.

@ZoneTelevision 11 жыл бұрын

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.

@ZoneTelevision 11 жыл бұрын

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.

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'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?

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.....
