Buell Xb12SS 2009, big check up and modifications.

 

Buell Xb12SS 2009, big check up, the intake noise did give some away , open airbox.

 

Buell Xb12SS 2009, big check up, removing the tfi box, was not set up proper, and in our opinion not really a good solution ( as the bike did not run very well ) we have put a nice fuel mapping in the ecm.

Buell Xb12SS 2009, big check up, little tough of color on a black bike really looks good, putting on wheel striping .

 

Buell Xb9SX, electrical troubles and small service.

 

Buell Xb9SX, electrical troubles, starter motor would not work, while it you could hear the starter relais click in the fuse box.. dead battery ? no not really.

 

Buell Xb9SX, electrical troubles, ok bad ground, easy way to check, is to put a jumper cable to the battery ground and the engine , also not the problem.

 

Buell Xb9SX, electrical troubles, ok do we have currrent on the switch wire to the starter motor.

 

Buell Xb9SX, electrical troubles, yep this works ? at least the led test light did burn ?

 

Buell Xb9SX, electrical troubles, ok check if the starter motor is broken, jump wire to the battery feed, ( loose connection to check of the starter motor will engage ) mnnn.. starter motor works just fine.

 

Buell Xb9SX, electrical troubles, ok relais feed, the starter relais did got 12v feed, but very little amp.. follow the feed cable to the light fuse , light fuse ok, to the next fuse , also ok, but the keyswitch relais did not work very good ( the head light was also not working )

 

Buell Xb9SX, electrical troubles, new key switch relais.. bingo... works like a charm again.

 

Buell Xb9SX, electrical troubles, continue with the service, and let the bike warm up for oil change.

 

Buell Xb9SX, electrical troubles, strangely leaking shifter shaft seal ? cleaned and inspected it , douse not appear to leak, told the customer to keep a eye out for this.

 

Buell Xb12SST valve noise, heads are on , pushrods in and ready for rocker covers.

 

Buell Xb9SX, electrical troubles, rocker covers on, almost ready to rotate the engine back.

 

Xb12SX 2010, walked of the side stand, we just did a big service on this bike, the customer left it to idle on the side stand, and the bike walked off , dham , shifter lever pushed the cover, and started to leak.

 

Xb12SX 2010, walked of the side stand, we will see what the insurance/ customer wants... best is to replace the cover.
