11-1-2019 XB9 Finish XB12 troubles XB12SS exhaust
29-6-2019 - What did we do today 11-1-2019 XB9SX finish exhaust stud and service, XB12 trouble shooting, XB12 SS Exhaust and header
with the header mounted engine can go back up — at Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.
tighen the w-brace
draining the gear box oil... please do not silicone gasket this cover..
drain plug out
while draining cables tight side stand and crank sensor
side stand can use some lube
chain lube works very well.. nice and sticky
checking the primairy chain tension
rear wheel check caliper of
belt is ok with 34000 km
as are the rear wheel bearings 17000 km in now
mounting back the muffler
i will do high temp grease on the exhaust clamp bolt .. as this will be a crime when this one seazes
the run out bolt , with some loctite in
this brace will come loose with out the bolt holding theme to getter .. i put one in tempereray
steering damper back on
clutch cable will not go easy in the lever .. looks like after market
as this is a original
rear sparkplug in
and aribox base plate mounted
time to do the front end
steering damper clamp loose
brake caliper bolts out
and front supported
wheel out, bearings are perfect shape
front legs out for fresh oil
protect the cap nut form tool markings
back in
look for the ground wire.. if these are ok
check the position of the steeringdamper it can travel full from left to right
wheel back in and axle set to 55 NM
nasty stuf brake fuild.. seeps throught the rubber compensating membrame over time
clean fluid in the fron
and clean fluid in the rear
i like to push the lever a few time the full travel of the cylinder
and letting here warm up for oil level check and fuction check
next xb12 with some troubles
broke airbox is only 1 off the problems
very little miles done
but blinking and flashing error light already with ignition on
mnnn flashing error means usualy ecm .. as i could not get in to the ecm with the diagnostics ... easy to check with a other ecm
tataa.... communication is possible and runs ok... but i think the high voltage has fried some things ( 17 volts ) i do not trust the regulator any more , as it did go down to 14 volt ...
for now new cover on... one of the last ones i'm afraid... ( we have a other kick ash with out X-guard in stock )
come with 2010 sticker like decals .. now contact customer for the repair
get here running.. belgium bike , repaired in holland and will go to a new home in Swiss ;-)
need new studs
mounting with a drop of loctite
with the equeal lenght header best to use flat gaskets
and some new hard ware for mounting
check the clearance on the pipe to the oil cooler as with the 3 piece one you can twist is some
pcv valves in before i for get it , and engine rotated up
side stand of
to mount the left chin spoiler bracket
pre-assemble the TQ hammer exhaust
some sealent on the pipe connections
best to lube the all stainless hardware some , these will freeze up other wise
exhaust mounted loosly , now first the rear straps mounted loosely
you can rotate the damper body to make it fit nice and give a little spacing
than first tighten the front screws, than the rear straps
and than the pipe clamp
whoop whoop ... looking good. .. chin spoiler right bracket on
plug cable connection corroded.. i will replace these
designed and tested... we tried .. very hard to have a overall better design..
better
stock filter full off dirt
eeeeuw... like my wife would say... just some hitch hikers , signs the bike has not been running for some time
cleaning the left side scoop
better
bling...
before start up best to de-grease the headers.. imprinting greasy finger prints not nice
and she is running.. after long time
the headers get a very lovely color
with the header mounted engine can go back up
