12-10-2016 - 30-9-2016 Buell 1125 engine Swap, Buell XB crash repair, Buell 1125 fuel pump replacement
new oil filter and ring
and new crush washer for the left drain plug, a little hydrolic sealent on there
checking the clutch... good to go, no leaks , so bleeding it
the throttle cables on
mnnn these exhaust gaskets are not going to work
with some fresh ones works allot better
exhaust on. right front always a pita to tighten this mounting bolt
filling up the coolant
electics check ? everything works but the dash stays blank ?
but the starter motor ( reused from a old engine ) sound like it is seazed
ok need to remove the oil cooler for this , hairclips out
and cooler off
only hold on by 2 screws
and wiggle it out, the o-ring nose cone is pushed in the engine casing and turns over the little gear in front off the rotor
testing the starter , so i know it is not bad contact... yep this one is fubar, as the rest off this engine was also seazed.. i think this was lying around in a damp barn ?
as the startermotor from the blown engine is also not really useble ;-) i contacted the owner, as a new starter is pretty expencive
old testing dash works , so will take the one from the bike apart to see if i can fix it
get 'r on the road again... not nice , but safe for now, the nice part will come later
front indicator first
brake lever just a little bend
works better like this ;-)
side seat post on
brake fluid reservoir back on
battery tray and undertray back on
little bending is needed for the seat bracket
works
licence plate bracket is bend , but the tail section is still ok , nothing broke, only some scratches
tail section on
new foot peg
and i will replace the rear brake light switch
new one on. and bleeding the system
will not polish out :-(
for now we put a new puck on, looks a bit better and when the customer has more budget , we can see if we can pull the dents out and repaint the frame completely , for now this needs to do
i put some silicone under and will tape it down while it dries
seat lock back on
battery in , now waiting on the left seat post , did not arrive today, but us a matter of 4 bolts now
1125 fuel pomp issues, we decided to replace the fuel pomp... as is looks like it is seasing when it gets hot... draining the fuel tank with the diagnostics fuel pump test allot cleaner than by the drain plug
last little bit out
exhaust off
and right foot peg assembly loose
rear wheel needs to come out to
caliper off
and i will replace the wheel bearings as these are nackered
rear brake line off the swing arm
pinch bolt loose from the swing arm axle
shock bolt loose
and axle out , same size as the wheel axles
looks like xb.. but the 1125 ones are much stronger ;-)
and swing arm off
brake fluid reservoir loose
ground cable loose , the stud did come out will fix this later
rear brake assembly can be pulled out the undertray completely
and the cover off the fuel pump
fuel pump and orientation markings
big ass c-clip pliers come in handy
in the middle off the pump is a m6 threaded hole you can use to pull the fuel pump out
and fuel pump out
tiny c-clip holding the brigde between the pump and the filter
new one , old one
new one on
and a little fiddeling later the new fuel pump can be mounted
the o-rings replaced as the old ones where swollen , little o-ring grease for mounting
and pump back in.. the m6 bolt can be usefull with mounting to tap the pump home
ground stud has a allen hex in it to mount it
rear brake assemlby back in
and swingarm back on
brake line in position under side
and inner off the swing arm ( can be hard to mount with the wheel in )
