28-1-2016 Service Check up Uly daily driver
30-1-2016 - What did we do today 28-1-2016 Service Check up Uly daily driver
long time customer, brought his Uly in for a overall check up, and fresh fluids
coffie cream ger box oil... down side off bikes taking daily trips in low temperature, the oil douse not get hot enough to evaporate the condens ( as it is a open air breather )
mayo any one ?
mnnn lock nut is ratteld loose, look for these little things on your bike, leave things loose for a long time will wear out allot off parts because the vibrations
oild style side stand pivot... still tight ( we aplied some 272 loctite on the threads long ago )
rear pads... will do untill next service
checking the belt for dammage and wear
check rear wheel bearings, remove the rear wheel
as expected ( replaced these not long ago ) these are fine
rear pulley is starting to get "sharp" will be something to keep a close eye, as to sharp pulleys are very hard on belts
new rubber... will be good untill summer
wheel back in and axle to TQ settings
primairy chain tension is ok
fresh gearbox oil , adjusted clutch mechinsme
a little neverseas goos a long way.. inside the booth is a little wet. but little corrosion on the threads
checked the protective booth for cracks.. there are non.. ziptie top en bottom end to seal fromt he front wheel spray
prime the oil filter and wet the O-ring a little before you screw it on
curieus minds.. we mounted a set off oversized pistons 6000 km ago.. for oil blow by in the airbox ( head breather ) cleaned everything then and replaced the sparkplugs , so these can stay, but i'm cureus to see inside
much better smile-emoticon a little film, taking in mind the pistons and rings needed to run in i would say , good to go
time for the front end
front ens supported and axle out...
caliper off the disk.. pads will not last untill next service i will replace these
front wheel bearings are due for replacement
also fresh rubber at the front, with new bearing will be good for a long time
no matter hard you try you will not get the full leg travel wink-emoticon i will clean these up before i take theme apart , sure way to ruwn your oil seals colapsing the front legs dirty like this
sweet spot uly 06-07 oil level... 10 mm below the inner legs with spring inside 15 Weight.. i heart-emoticon uly's
putting back the legs look out not to pinch the wire to the handle bar
new pads in
and front wheel back in , tq to specification
bring the brake up to pressure , always a unplesant surprice you gra the brake pushing the bike off the lift and you only grab air
put the rubber back in the slot on the lower fender
press down the front end a few times to set the suspesion and tighten the pich bolts
the bike has a fan problem, as only 15a fuses will hold, for emergencies ok. but in the long run.. you have a fan problem.. can turn into a ecm problem as the electronics inside the ecm can go bad on the higher Amps drawn
so fan replacement, normaly a piece off cake... but with the confort kit scoop in the bike, more work to just get the scoop out , battery out
frame rail loose
and battery tray out
now you can take out the scoop , to get to the shock and fan
fan screws out
and shock mount bolts loose, support the weight off the bike
and with the bolts and remote adjuster loose you can pull out the shock
and have acces to the fan mounting screws
on the later models the fan comes out easy, on the early models... you need to twist , turn, push and pull to remove the fan
no sense in leaving it a mess, while we are there, clean up the frame hole
mount the fan grill on the new fan and plug in the connector first and twist the fan back in the frame
shock back in place
airscoop back on
and mounting back the battery tray
fan check.. i could not imagine 13 years back on my first XB to check the fan with my phone... , back then needed to go to the dealers or hot wire the sensor to check fan action smile-emoticon the Buell community is a great thing smile-emoticon
