the XB9r has done it's km on the dyno to run in the new bores and fresh OS pistons, now the run in oil can be replaced for normal oil
airbox cover on
while on the dyno i could here the belt squel over the idler pulley.. i put some more tension on the belt tensioner
the sample port screws can go in ( we are using this with a vacuum extracter )
and draining the break in oil
check the plug or debris. as we try to clean as good as we can, the swing arm is very hard to clean inside, the oil gets filterered before it enters the engine, but still better to have it clean off debris
chin spoiler on
a little cleaning up
she is running very nice
setting the oil level

some swearing further as the small allen head on the screw look nice, but is not there to help when the screw is nearly seazed , injectors out
testing and cleaning.. these are ok
cleaning the throttle body.. common problem on the tps wire.. isolation is pulling back .. this on the ground wire..would not be to much issue
