21-6-2017 - 17-5-2017 NOS Buell XB9 repairs, Buell XB12SS clutch, Buell XB12X check, handle bar on a firebolt
yes it works...
but some things.. are just not right
old intake rubber mounted on new model throttle body ( changed some where in it the life iff this bike )
the NOS switch
and the head temp sensor is broken, tried to repair it , but the value is off much , so the bike runs very richy
special tools needed to take the sensor out
old to new ?
anyway sensor in
the right model stack on
and spring clip on
leaking clutch cable
routed the "omg" way ... thought the chin spoiler hole
i will come to this.. i'm afrain i need a new slider
engine oil ... don't know how long this is, but not realy ok
Mcgyver ? plastic mad
yeah... will do this a other way
first off. so i can repair the leaking cable
new plugs will not hurt aswell
the strange routing did not help rubbing the outer layer , and is now leaking oil
we sell heastshrink tube with a glue layer.. perfect for leaks like this
a little grease on the adjuster will help in the long run , as the cable looks not that old
while the bike is on off the first Xb9 models.. hence the old style front exhaust mount
yep... Mcgyver
checking the rear wheel bearings... means losen the belt guards on the 03 models
if you do it carfefully you can lift the bike and hold the belt to the side
bearings are ok
ok top end back on
other bike.. clutch is slipping under full load...
so draining the gearbox
loosen the chain adjuster
chin spoiler offf.. nice headers ... Ti ones :-)
clutch cable loose... and remove the cover
just pulling it off a little to drain the oil some more
clutch tool is very handy
spring compressed... and lock ring and seat ring removed
slipping clutch.. always take the spring off, as you will find some debris behind it
old clutch pack out... is still okish... customer noted the cltuch was slipping.. and did not try to slip it more... so they are not burned fully
high performace pack in..
and cover back on , tighten this starting in the middle
aftermarket clutch / high performance clutch use Red line ATD D4 in the gearbox
shifter back.. loctite the bolts
clutch back in
and checking the primary chain
bike around. and fix the leaking fork seal

i will take the pads out and clean the leg and caliper first

leaking base gasket / or main seal... need to clean it first to even see it
anyway.. bearings are ok
fresh rubber on, and wheel back in
filling the oil back to level
checking tension on the chain
battery poles.. off course
wanted to check this .. as we noted with the last service.. the piston rings are on there way out..
front end check

wheel bearings are ok
