11-11-2016 winter service XB repair intake seals
25-11-2016 - 11-11-2016 winter service XB repair intake seals
this Xb is out guest this winter, for a Big service and some repairs while she is here, start with the intake seals leaking
the front engine mount is also starting to crack , hope the Back order problem is over in 2 to 3 weeks 
:-( so i can replace this one to
left foot peg bracket off , as this will damage the primairy cover when you rotate the engine
W-brace loose , this will rotate down with the engine
pully cover off as this will also be damaged when you rotate the engine
clutch cable loose and remove from the lever
race exhaust, you can use the jack points , i put the rear off the bike on a paddock stand
engine suported the front mount bolt can be removed
top side airbox off and remove the top tierod on the engine bracket side
velocity stack off
and zipties loose cables
disconnecting the injector plugs works best from below
harness put the way
throttle cables out the handle bar switch
and rotating the engine down
cut off 1/4 allen key to loosen the 2 right side screws
with the bolts loose a faster tool can be used to remove the screws
left side the 2 hex bolts and side support screw out
little markings
and the rubber is getting hard ( 2005 bike wth 15000 km done ) these where still the first ones
before you check for intake seals , you need to check if the vacuum port cap is still on
cleaning and preping, new seals are on, a little ceramic grease on the idle ( tps ) adjuster cable
the cable is rubbing the coil bracket, i put a 2e shrink tube over it to protect it
manifold back on tighen loosely
left and right bolts tighten, check the alinement of the side support screw
engine back up , for the new front support we need to wait
w-brace in place and tighten , i find it easy to start mounting from the left side
sorry can't help it... old style pivot , need to check.. this one is loose
uncrew completely , and clean it
with the threads cleaned bought sides to give the loctite a change , a little grease on the pivot aria
and tighen it
some sticky grease to lubricate the flats
and pulling the side stand spring back on
left peg bracket back on , normaly there is a plastic holder there to hold the fuel vent line
refitting stuff, chin spoiler back on, loctite and use the nylon washers
the front 2 screws some neverseas
top tie rod mount, i the bolt snags and the thread looks like this... stop
and first try to cleanup the threads with a chacer or tap
throttle cables back in the cam
and to the grip
connecting the cables under the airbox
stack back on... i point the open end off the spring clip to the left as there are no cables there to rubb against
base plate on , put the plate in between the stack double lip
airfilter and box back on... in theorie we can remove the exhaust valve as it is useless..
setting the tps
the bike is loved, but driven way to little
something that takes just a minute off 2 but feels so much better
clean up the old crusty grease and put some fresh silicone grease on
