Kind of late now, but when I looked at the latest issue of Motorcyclist at the library today, there was a "Doin' Time" long-term test of the Buell Ulysses XB12X. Their bike would quit running without warning and without pattern. Here's what the article said:
"Turns out a problem with the bank-angle (tip-over) sensor mounting on some 2007 models could cause a false signal that kills the motor. Buell issued a recall to address this problem by relocating the sensor from the battery tray to a less vibration-prone location on the subframe. If you own a Uly, get this fixed."
