28-9-2016 X1 fase 3 get 'r going, XB9SX mishap rep
7-10-2016 - 28-9-2016 Buell X1 fase 3 get her going, Buell XB9SX mishap repairs, Buell 1125 engine swap
X1 get 'r going, was a long time standing still , bad contact when drawing big current for starting
ok that is one... broken off ground tab under the fuel tank , looks normaly connected untill you pull on the wire
tab broken off
ok 1 fixed, next
as i have only 9 volts on the lead to the circuit breaker
with the battery off , way to much resistance in the lead... as this is connected to the startermotor i will fist check this wire connection
yep looks like this is corroced so bad it will not conduct enough when trying to start
leads off , but the stud twisted , that is a problem
as the stud is directly connected to the starter motor solinoid contact
cleaning, and lined up the contact in the startermotor... now only 0,5 Ohm resistance good in my book
start up... running on 1 cylinder... i bet the plugs are fouled
old plugs out and new ones in
and she is vibrating :-) need to say running nice after so long
ass. cooling fan on this X1 rare to see... fase 4, 5 and 6 will be media blasting the frame and recoating and overhaul the engine i think
fender eliminator... badly positioned seat lock... as it is stuck again, ill put some thick silicone grease in
little cleaning and pump full with grease to dirt and watter spray will not penitrade
some new wellnuts for the left cover
front brake fluid... hope i can get the screws out
finaly a bit off luck with this bike, will bin these
ok needs a little more than fresh brake fluid :-(
front cleaned up and made good again, don't forget the rear
and time to test ride ... unto her new life
little mishap crash repair XB9SX
shifter rubber
left peg broken off
frame puck had soem scars, factory stick on...usualy means taking the old one off is a pita
as the outer will come off, the innerts will stick on
half hour further , peeling off the old double sided tape. new puck on
pivot broke off the clutch, heat up the raiser so the loctite on the screw will come loose , and you will not slip in the philips screw
handle bar has a slight twist in it
and the bar end has a ding in it
new bar on, and right side stuff mounted back
left side back on
a 2010 airbox is mounted, the crash did make the horn button make a mark on the cover
but as it is under the decals, the customer just wanted new decalls on
left custom bar end put on agian, ( to hold the handguards and a bar end mirror
1125 engine swap
engine unpacked and in a stand so it is more stable
i start with the waterpump cover , as the one on the engine is damage , new seal in and with hoses and all on the engine
the engine was stripped from most parts, so sensors from the old engine over in the new one
while my collegue was working on a small service on a nice 1125r ( with CR front end )
intake manifolda on , with new rubbers
funny how you start to regocnise bolts , if you have take apart a few ;-)
injector line + injectors back on
thermostat and throttle bodies back in
rear header on
engine came with our pully, will replace the seal
and o-ring on the bolt
cleaning the mating surface a little with some scotch brite and pully on
ignition cover looks also like shyte , will take it off any way to inspect the stator / rotor
as the old engine rotor is about fubar... will mount the new rotor back with a oiljet hole
spark plugs look very nice
and just checking the valve play.. perfect
as douse the front aswell... very nice engine
