XB12SX, right side covers strip
XB12SX, and the old oil filter off
XB12SX, good habit to check the bearing.. little silly on a 2010 low milage, but any way check theme...
XB12SX, some one asked a few weeks ago how to spot a 2010 3 bearing wheel... well you can see the big dust seals
XB12SX, and the loose spacer on the brake side... beware off this one, wheel will not aline good when you drop this spacer ( 2010 3 bearing rear wheels only )
XB12SX, 2010 axle is black ( can be retrofitted on the older XB models ) and nice and lubed up
XB12SX, give here a spin to check the bearings

XB12SX, gapped and never sease ready to go in
XB12SX, airfilter base plate cleaned, and put back on
XB12SX, those T25 screws.. well at about 8 euros a piece.. i can still used theme, on a place that is not used so much... tapping a T27 bit in theme a few times to remove the burs , inside the airbox they will do
XB12SX, time for the front end , fighting the brake caliper bolts, the first time is always very hard to remove these, use good fitting tools

XB12SX, little isolation tape to protect the black fragile cap nut
XB12SX, and front fork striping
XB12SX, seals and guide bushings out
XB12SX, on the left side little scratches, will clean this up
XB12SX, isolation tape over the sharp edges to start and protect the seals
XB12SX, and with the trusted seal tool , hammer the oil seal home
XB12SX, do the same for the right lig
XB12SX, i like to put the c-clip on the dust seal to protect the legs during mounting
XB12SX, forks back to gettter, fill theme with 400 cc and bleed the rebound damper untill the strokes up and down feels controlled from top to bottum
XB12SX, fill a little more oil and set to level 95-97 mm airchamber in this case ( 2010 SX )

XB9 diesel... after a long time the customer gave his ok for repair... as the bike had run way to long on a fuel / diesel mixture it needed new pistons and the cylinders where bad, lucky for hime we have over size XB9 pistons wink-emoticon so cylinders where bored to oversize and a set off fresh pistons are on
XB9 Diesel... the front head was flushed clean by the diesel
XB9 diesel, the rear cylinder was sort off working , the bike came in running on 1 cylinder and smoking like a steamboot frown-emoticon
