Buell X1, having troubles at wot ( hesitating and no power )

 

Buell X1, having troubles at wot, checked the intake seals, these where good.. checked for grounds , fuel pressure test.. corroded fuel pomp connector, clean ans protect.

 

Buell X1, having troubles at wot, fuel pressure is good, and douse not drop to much after priming ( sign for leaking regulator )

 

Buell X1, having troubles at wot, logged the tps sensor, as signs are telling me this could be the problem.

 

Buell X1, having troubles at wot, removing the intake, fiddly job but can be done on the bike.

 

Buell X1, having troubles at wot, mnn... bike has been taken some oil.. and noticed the butterfly plate was loose.. cleaned the plate and screws.. and put theme back on with loctite red... you really don't want to loose these screws.

 

Buell X1, having troubles at wot, new tps in place.

 

Buell X1, having troubles at wot, nice bike , and in my feeling it already runs allot better, long test ride will tel if the problem is fixed.. as it did not do it all the time.

 

Buell X1,customer brought in his primairy cover for screw hole repair, little job... always a pleasure.

 

Buell X1 primairy cover repair, we use timeserts.. in my opinion the best way to repair threats that needs to be used allot in the life time off a bike.

 

Buell Xb9S, 2003 error light would not go out.. just had a big maintenance at the dealers.

 

Buell Xb9S, 2003 error light would not go out, error light is from the cooling fan.. no pinched wires, and while testing the cooling fan works.. ? i suspect a ecm problem.

 

Buell Xb9S, 2003 error light would not go out, fuses also still ok, even while there still at the 7,5 Amps ( was a dealer bulletin to change theme to 10 Amps a long time ago ) and while it had a big maintenance at a dealer, i noticed the bike was running not really nice... and detected leaking intake seals.. customer will come back on this.

 

Buell Xb9SX, oil puddles in the airbox.

 

Buell Xb9SX, oil puddles in the airbox, yep.. this is after 1500 km.

 

Buell Xb9SX, oil puddles in the airbox, looked at the pcv valves, and one seal was broken, but i'm pritty sure the piston rings are gone on this bike.. we will get back to this.
