need some advice

[rschubel1957]

thinking about buying this bike off ebay..anybody know anything about it?

 

[FrankBDPS]

Nice looking bike. Isn't that the Xwedge motor? Would that make the bike a Wolf?

 

[awg]

Yea I think that is the X-Wedge. Read about them in there brochures. Haven't seen one in action though. The bike looks clean. I would run the serial # and get a, like a car fax.

 

[rschubel1957]

yes its a 2009 wolf...1900 miles the guy wants 23 grand its near Boston..hoping someone here lives out that way can look at it for me..don't really want to fly out there

Check on the timing belt issues . maybe member Chacha can shed some light in this for you.

yea...the wolf was bdm top of the line bike i believe....but the x-wedge did have some premature timing belt issues. i would also check with S&S on fix or parts availability. might also check if someone makes a replacement wiring kit in case the ehc craps out later,

Bro, if its agood deal--- GO FOR IT! :up:

 

[rschubel1957]

money is not the issue..i trust you guy on this site.what i need is someone that lives close to boston to go check it out for me..i live about 1200 miles away

I had a 2009 Wolf that regrettably I sold, the timing belt issue is related to very hot climates. With that said I replaced the belt when I installed the easy start cams, highly recommended.

Loved the Wolf, the lines, the ride and the X-Wedge is a good motor. I had to replace the fuel pressure regulator in the tank, and the idle speed motor, both low cost parts but other than that I absolutely loved the bike

believe the back tire is a 23" so you may want to check the continued availability of it. believe the front is also a 23".

The X-wedge is a good motor as mentioned -- at 1900 miles it's not really broke-in yet. Recommend that --if you can get someone on site--they see if the owner will show the cam belt condition. Also ask if any motor work was done. S&S replaced my cam base plate because of the belt shredding problem---zero problems since then.

i have a black 2009 Wolf exactly like this bike and love it. The cam belt is an easy replacement and the tires are easy to come by at many retailers. My bike has almost 8k in miles and I bought it four months ago for $19,500, but I would consider its shape a little on the rough side which is why it goes to the painter very soon.
