inspection and service Xb12SS
now it starts.. tighening the battery poles works better
running the bike i noticed a big difference in running cold and warm , when the bike started to run on the O2 sensor.. can be a leaking problem. so testing for intake seals.. carefull not to spry aroung the vacuum port as this will effect the test
the engine is making noise.. sound gearbox.. i think the chain is very loose.. 2007 model.. check the drain plug magnet on debris .
oil is pitch black
starting to remove the covers for engine rotation
peg bracket of
quick check primairy chain.. yep way to loose
while draining.. right side covers of
new gearbox oil in
loosening the outer cable adjuster
and adjusting the clutch
side stand lubrication.
fresh oil in
and new oil filter on
with the rear wheel in the air, shift in 5e gear
to check and adjust the primary chain... do this on more than 1 position by bumping the rear wheel
rear wheel out.. belt is ok.. early signs of normal wear
wheel bearings are done for..
new bearings pressed in and mounting the wheel back
supporting the engine, and remove the front bolt
clutch cable loose and throttle cables loose
top tie rod bolt loose, intake stack and connections loose
ready to rotate the engine.. been awile looking at the cobweb :-)
engine down.
with a service.. saves allot off time .. easy spark plug change
the rear cable boot was pulled so far, the connector was not on the plug.. only toughing
see the front cable was ok
new plugs in set gap and lube the threads
pulling the boots back to ensure the connectors click on
and turn the front one inboard.. so it will not rubb to the wire harness
intake manifold loose
seals are old and hard
and left some marking on the heads..
lubing the idle cable before the manifold is mounted
engine back up.. front bolt 66NM
clutch cable mounted and adjusted.. ziptie the booth watter tight
hooking up the trottle cables
and electical connectors.. the injector wires are clearly marked .. green = rear
tps wire ziptied to the fuel rail... to protect the wire connections , when the engine is moving
clean the airbox baseplate
intake stack mounting.. ensure you push it back on fully
and mount the base inbetween the gaiter
air filter cleaned and charged with new filter oil
i leave the solinoid on.. it gives problems.. so will remove it from the ecm
front end
these are more than done..
and a new frotn tyre is mounted
front fork oil , so forks out
virgin top cap nuts
protect the cap nut with some electrical tape , so the socket fits very snugg , and douse not dammage the aluminium
some corrosion pitting on the legs.. a other consern when riding trough the winter,
fronts cleaned , and fresh oil in
new front wheel bearings
caliper back on
and mounting the chin spoiler back on
right side scoop
pushing down the front a few times.. before you tighten the pinch bolts
as you see the axle is under the leg surface.. only light tighten the axle protection. as you will slide the fork in. and it will stick and not feel free

cleaning and new grease on the pivot surfaces
drilling out the screw , start with a little bigger, to center

fresh fluid
new screws.. with some neverseas
customer want handguard mounted.. and keep the bar end mirrors.. no problem
but the old adaptors do not cut it
i use our own design vibration dampers.. heavy and very secure mounting point for mirrors, and adapt these for handguards
as we are waiting on the handguards mounting with out
bar end mirrors on
calibrating the tps
and ready for test ride
