I am wondering if I should just order the stuff ahead of time so I can do the swap when/if it happens. Minimize the bikes downtime.

What year is yours? I think it's more a problem with the 08's than anything else.

I have an 09, I heard the 08's were more problematic with that. I always check th eside cover and around the slave cyl to see if any fluid is weeping out. A guy on the board mentioned it so I have been trying to keep an eye on it.

It's not as much fun making fun of the dead as when it was alive.

There are some O-rings in the secondary clutch actuator that didn't hold real well on the 08's. apparently I am a god getting mine to last to 9400 miles.

Your's may be under warranty when they go out, then it would be covered.

You can actually talk to a person at Buell and try to get resolution to the prob, not so much the case at DDM.

Wasn't that a recall?

Should be, as I believe that 95% or more of the 08's have had it done, and quite a few of the 09's as well.
Maybe that's why Buell never did a recall, they figured all the bad ones got replaced with upgraded parts under warranty anyway.

Sadly, that is not the case with mine.

Did finally convince the dealer to cover the cost of parts. This way I can throw it back at them if they don't do it right. Also, not going to be around this weekend to work on it anyway, so probably about the same timeline to get it back (I hope).

Gotta give a huge thanks to FT BSTRD and the guys at Bumpus. I had emails and the info I needed right away this morning. That should at least get me the right parts.
Will be ordering all my parts from them going forward!
