SOURCE: Brake pedal won't return.

There could be a couple reasons for this. First thing to check is your return spring, is it still there and attached properly? Next thing to check is your master cylinder pressure release. Loosen the bleed nipple on the rear caliper. Does the brake release now? If so, your master cylinder has some debris clogging the fluid return passageway. Remove and clean it. If the brake still does not release after opening the bleed nipple, at least one of your caliper pistons is binding. Remove the rear caliper and the brake pads. Now press the pedal and force the pistons out. Looses the bleed nipple and attempt to press the pistons back into place. They should move smoothly when you apply firm pressure. Clean the caliper thoroughly. If you have a rebuild kit for the caliper this is a good time to rebuild it. After cleaning, put it back together, bleed the brakes and test again. It is normal for disk brakes to drag SLIGHTLY on the rotor, but they should not stop a free spinning wheel in less than a coupld revolutions when spun by hand.

SOURCE: how to change plugs on 2008-1125r buell

You need to pick up a copy of the factory service manual from either Americansportbike.com or your local dealer (part number 99491-08Y). The procedure involves lowering the engine from the frame, so it is not something that is easily described online.

My 2008 buell 1125r is jerking under 4000 rpm

The stock ECM programming is lean to meet EPA emissions, the best way to improve overall driveability and eliminate jerkiness at lower RPMs is to install a Race ECM from ErikBuellRacing.com

I have a 2008 Buell 1125r. After only 1200 miles my clutch lever seems to be out of adjustment. How do you adjust them?

There is no clutch adjustment on the Buell 1125 models. Check your fluid levels to make sure you are not low on DOT4 brake fluid for the clutch master cylinder.

There is a common issue on the 1125 to have it leak clutch fluid. On the lower right side of the motor is a round puck to protect the motor. This is the clutch cover, and fluid will leak out of the puck. The fix is a kit from your local Buell dealer, it is part number X2086.1AM and will set you back about $200.
