24-8-2016 XB broken key, 1125R troubleshooting
15-9-2016 - 24-8-2016 Buell XB broken key, Buell 1125R troubleshooting, Buell XB with brake issues
simple enough ?
on not, customer had only 1 key... and that one is broken in the fuel cap... we can wait for 4 weeks on new cut to code keys, or replace the lock set... last option was prefered as sthe locks don't look that good anymore and fuel cap is needed anyway
as the bike was on the steering lock, we had already unscrewed the contact lock so we could handle the bike better
ok easy things first... new fuel cap
ignition switch with steering lock new one in
the security screws have been tampered with as the studs in the middle is broken out, they will still work
electical cables in place moving on the the last lock , the seat lock
we can do it the hard way and force the seat lock out, but even a broken key will work... only need the bit that is in the fuel cap
so push the rod out from the fuel cap , and take the cap off
saw off the end off the key cylinder,
and take the pin out and the key code plates —
and with a small piece off rod i could push out the broken off piece
broken off piece in first, and than the key
and presto, seat off with out damaging
now the lock out, take off the holder clip
pull the lock out a little so you can turn it to unhook the pull cable to the lock
old one out
and new one in
and working
very nice color scheme 1125R in for trouble shooting , as she douse not run idle very well
as the shop where the bike was, had contacted us as they tried to reflash the ecm , but could not ... i frist see if the ecm is bricked , as we reflashed this ecm a long time ago and should run perfect ( i think the exhaust has changed in the mean while )
ok so much for trouble shooting, battery to low to even start the bike... i will give it a few hours on the charger
xb brake trouble... clacking noise and jutter , easy way to check lift the front wheel and draw some lines on the disk with a sharpy
lightly aply the bike and look at the wear pattern all around the disk... this one is warped —
taking the wheel out and check the bearings , as i feel the spacer bushing is way to loose , indication the spacer is to small or bearings are on there way out
bearings taken out and replaced, the spacer was still long enough , unscrewing the disk
fresh loctire on the mounting bolts , and tq to 35 Nm
clean off the old loctite from the caliper bolts
front back in... axle to tq
press down the front end to set the forks
and tighen the pinch bolts —
big service xb12ss ready...for test ride
and other one nearly ready for the big service , working on the front end
brake pads change 6 pot... line up the wheel good and you would not need to loosen the wheel , pin out
loosen the caliper bolts and press the pistons back to take out the old pads
rear one is a little fidely , but turn it out to the center off the rim
with the caliper still loose, mount the new pads in
and tighten the caliper bolts and pad holder pin
diagnose bad running xb9rs ( R model converted to S front ) you see where all the electics went , not optimal as the big wire harness of the R is not really make to bend to much , the error code was leaking intake seal , we make a apointment after the customers holiday
the 1125R had time to charge the battery, took a stock ecm to test if the ecm is bricked , but still runs the same... on 1,5 cylinder front one douse not run properly
rear one is burning full , ok checking the front coil connector first
this bike was just serviced ? no idea why the did not notice the MAP sensor is upside down , as watter can run in the sensor like this , and looking at he not stock stator wires they have been working in this aria —
mnn stock airfilter , airbox off
and airbox baseplate off , still no good look at the connector
front airscoop off and checking the front coil connector, is in place and locked .. ok will contact the shop , as i really want to replace the sparkplugs first now
