31-3-2016 Uly hammer time, service XB12SCG
1-5-2016 - 31-3-2016 Uly hammer time, service XB12SCG
nice XB12XT in for small service and TQ hammer and intake seals
drain while hot
as we know what we need to do, using the oil drain time to remove the plastics , for the engine rotation
disconnect the side stand and crank sensor plug
pinch bolt loose to remove the axle and wheel
will clean up the axle a little
the wheel bearings are stil good... we replaced theme the last time, but better check than be sorry
primairy chain tension is still good
so removing the stock exhaust , front bolt out
clamp loose, they can be very tight
and some times you break theme wink-emoticon as the bolt is off , with a drift you can knock the clamp loose
loosen the clutch cable , and remove the cable end from the lever
moving to the top side, airbox cover off
the actuator cable was already removed
as the cable was cut any way easy to remove , cut it in half and pull it out
disconnect the wires under the "bonnet"
loosen the coil bolts and move the coil out the way , so you can loosen the throttle cables nuts
2 turns on the lock nuts and you can take off the clip
and unscrew the holder nuts , and take out the cable ends
loosen and remove the top tierod bolt on the engine bracket
new oil filter on , and engine support to take the weight off the front engine mount — bij
after loosening, the bolt should come out easy
will clean off the corrosion and put some neverseas on
remove the injector connectors , best done from below
so how far do you need to rotate the engine, well on a Uly easy... not to far wink-emoticon acces to the screw is good
and foot rest will not tought the primairy cover
loosen and remove the manifold bolts
to remove easy to pull one flance off
hard to see, but has been leaking for some time not hard but still enough to make the ride a bit rough
the new 08-up flanges should be flat at the ends
not really strange to see some corrosion in the head surface, , i will clean this off
flanges back on and new seals
little bit of juggling and turning the flanges to get theme in position with out damaging the seals
and tighten the flanges equaly
for all aircooled injection buells green is rear white front , injector wires
make sure no sensors or wires will be jammed when you rotate the engine up again, front engine mount back in and set to TQ 66 NM
side stand off for the chin spoiler bracket
use red loctite on these bolts
preassemble the TQ hammer
put some never sees on the rear strap bolt , as all stainless hardware can freez and bind
position the exhaust so there is clearance side stand to the exhaust tip
than first tighten the front screws and mounts
than tighten the rear straps. the strap ends need to come to getter, the special heat ridge will give the band the expention while when the exhaust is hot
take a plastic hammer and tap the exhaust connection to the header a few time to release the tension and tighten the front clamp
make sure the rear straps are bended in with the rear bracket so there is enough clearance to the belt idler wheel
and ready to connect the top side , easy way to hook in the throttle cables push the end in the cam half way and hold with a finger and rotate the cable so it falls in the slot
check the adjustment range for the throttle cables on the handle bar
as you can adjust this also on the manifold
everything hooked up
ulys come with a stock tool tray wink-emoticon programming the ecm with the fuel mapping
decall on to let dealers know do not reflash this ecm
time for the front end check
wheel bearings are good.. perfect
brake fluid change
and ready for test ride
Xb12scg.. very nice Voltage paint set ( was factory paint set )
customer asked to check the battery... mnn low on CCA with a 10 year old battery , it still starts.. but struggles when cold. customer want a reliable one.. and was ok with replacing
a little cleaning needed before i want to pull out the filler plug
draining the oils and removing the primairy inspection covers
always a joy to find a good protected clutch cable adjuster
fresh gearbox oil in and adjusting the clutch mechanisme
bike still on the same height.. front plug out
set the gap on the new spark plug and pull the cable back on you need to hear a positive click so you know the cable is on right
rear wheel bearings feel notchy , i will replace these
and cleaned the axle
belt check and idler pully check
cleaned acle with lube... you can turn it with a finger
bike down on the lift , airfilter off
and replacing the rear spark plug
base plate cleaned and filter cleaned .. ready to go on
new battery in
bike turned around and front end out for oil change and wheel bearings check
