XB12XT no compresion, after finishing the top side, bumped the engine around with out sparkplugs to check, time to start there up


XB12XT no compresion, ,when the oil pump and case are drained,,, it can take a while before the tappets and rocker arms have oil pressure... a little help to put a little air pressure in the swingarm, so the oil gets everywhere quick and is buidling up pressure

 


XB12XT no compresion, she makes noise, smokes and gets hot ...sounds like it works


XB12XT no compresion, little check checking header pipe temp on bought cylinders to see if the combustion is relative equal

 


XB12XT no compresion, ok all good... cover on


XB12XT no compresion, and test ride smile-emoticon she is ready to go back to here owner


X1 get here done... she is runnig very nice after engine rebuild... still some dyno time , with forced cooling, let here get hot through and through... as running on idle the cylinders still will get to hot to soon, so the oil will not even heat up, and i need to check this for leaks before i give here back to the owner


1125R service, with starting problem


1125R service, seen it before.... first thing to check is the wiring contact lock... thouging it will make the ingition go on and off... will take it off a wire will be broking inside


1125R service, freeing the cable connector


1125R service, with a security bit you can remove the screws holding the ignition switch


1125R service, it is hard to remove it like this


1125R service, but when you pull off the plastic cap , it has enough room to remove it


1125R service, taking it out broke the last strain on the wire i think


1125R service, protective cap off


1125R service, problem.. the R ignition switches are no longer availeble... only the CR/ S switches... but these wires are much shorter.. as there is enough lenght on these wires, i will shorten this 4 cm and resolder the cable connection


1125R service, new end off the wire soldered on


1125R service, put a new pulling relieve ( ziptie will do ) on the cable and slide outer cover back on


1125R service, so starting and heat here uo for oil change... looking at a error code ? aaah i see road side assitance thought the side stand was the problem... and pulled off the connector... easy fix

1125R service, adn right side plug out


1125R service, new oil filter back on , and drain plugs back in

1125R service, wtf... pinch bolt as tight, but axle was loose, the tyre service ( not long agoo changed ) did not put the axle all the way in , giving the wheel about 10 mm side play only hold in place by the brake pads , the wheel bearring disk side was also 5 mm out allready
