Hi Guys,

I've always had an interest in what Erik Buell did but could'nt really consider buying a bike with a 1930s lawnmower engine after a previous bad Harley Davidson experience so, I was really interested when the Rotax engine one came out but did'nt like the styling of the R.
So when the CR came out I did the Buell Experience at Mallory Park crashed one & loved it,now the prices heve been re aligned I've bought one,just a bit nervous after riding great Jap bikes for years that it's going to fall to bits.
Just a couple of questions guys,what oil do you recomend as the Harley Davidson oil is surely designed for the air cooled models.
Number two, can't figure out how you release the tension on the drive belt to remove the rear wheel,is there an eccentric on the idler wheel somewhere ?

Rotax uses Syn 3 oil.
Rear axle drops into a taper as it's undone.

Welcome, try to not crash this one. :lol:
I noticed Maz is slipping too but then he didn't know what year it was last week so you got to cut him some slack. :roll:
