Xb engine startup, checking the primary tension

Xb engine startup, with a dry engine ( empty case, it needs more oil than with normal oil change , after final oil level check it needed about 0,5 liters more than normal


Xb engine startup, she fires up with the first start.. nice, but with the new oil pomps it can take some time before all the air is out the pump and system


Xb engine startup, as you really do not want the oil pressure light on to long, with a little airpressure help in the oil tank it will get oil pressure faster so the rocker arms don't run to long with out oil


Xb engine startup, the bike is running very nice, so time to dress here up and take here out for a spin


Xb engine startup, test ride smile-emoticon i love my job


Xb engine startup, she is running perfect, shifts perfect, no leaking gaskets. but steering feels funny, as sometimes it feels like she is dropping into corners, need to check the front end


Xb engine startup, front end supported and wheel out


Xb engine startup, wheel bearings are perfect


Xb engine startup, i could not really feel it untill now... steering head bearings are notchie... ok replace them

Xb engine startup, disconnect the switches and the throttle cables and you can take off the handle bar, brake and right side plate in 1 go

Xb engine startup, steering stem nut loose


Xb engine startup, and with a gentle tap the lower triple t come out

Xb engine startup, no special tools than a heavy hammer and a long drift to tap out the old bearings , , there are 2 notches in the frame on the bearing seats for the drift , using a heavy hammer helps

Xb engine startup, just me being qurieus.. to see how the old bearings look, not completly fubar but, very notchy running


Xb engine startup, grease is at a ration in the steering bearing makers.... gently remove the seal and fill theme up properly, and press the seal back in


Xb engine startup, if you replace them allot you make your own pulling tool smile-emoticon

Xb engine startup, speedo back on, leave the rear rubbing busing on, and peg the 2 front ones throught the bushings

Xb engine startup, to have good alinement on the flyscreen screws , position these and hold theme in place with a screw before you tighten the headlight bracket

Xb engine startup, wheel back in, feels allot better nowsmile-emoticon


runnign problems, after a lot off checking and not able to find the problem, the customer did a fuel pressure test, only 2 bar , he took the fuel pomp out and send it to us, to check what is wrong with it
