XB9SX finish, i will put some new screws in for the next one that need to unscrew theme, screwed up screws can mean the next time you need to dril theme out

XB9SX finish, last check for oil level, and test ride... i love my job smile-emoticon

Fuel pomp replace & test, i'm glad the running problems from this customers bike finaly are sorted, as the bike was stalling and coughing , making a diagnose by phone 16000 km away can be very frustrating ,but with the fuel pump only giving 2 bar pressure , yeah it will never run good, the seals on the filter connections where leaking, fixed that, but the customer ask to put a new pomp in any way... so on with the job

Fuel pomp replace & test, c-clip off for the regulator housing

Fuel pomp replace & test, and electrical connectors off, 1 big and 1 small terminal so no probems reconnecting

Fuel pomp replace & test, new pre filter on and everything in place

Fuel pomp replace & test, new hose clamp on the pressure line

Fuel pomp replace & test, and why not make it better, as the wires are known to rubb and short out, some fuel resitant protective sleeve over the wires will prevent this

Fuel pomp replace & test, pomp pushed down as deep as it can a this is the pick up point

Fuel pomp replace & test, testing little over kill ? but i would really hate to see the pomp back after a 32000 km trip and not working in the outback , but she is smootching like a king

X1 make over, dashplate off , and home made bracket trying to remove

X1 make over, dash plate back on
