16-11-2016 Bad running X1, Sportster service
1-12-2016 - 16-11-2016 Bad running Buell X1, Sportster XL service
we already tested the tp setting on this X1, needed intake seals first
outer cover off to get to the fuel tank
i will first meaure the fuel pressure the X1 have a very handy mesure port on the fuel tank for this
good to go, priming to 3,5 bar and not dropping much contact off, i expect no problems here
remove the fuel hose, cutting the filter straps .. i notice the horn was vibrating into the filter, need more distance
little cap on the filter , so it would not drain, and old sparkplug in the fuel hose
filter off , still using the breather ... with 78000 km on this bike... yep normal
spacer ring off
and throttle cables loose
removing the intake manifold bracket
and loosening the allen bolts with a extention and ball end key
let side the customer put hexbolts in ... love it
yep leaking
tps sensor wires don't look good...
and the intake manifolf has been rough housed looking at the markings , hope new seals will seal
wanted to check the injectors... off course the screw did not wanted to play nice , and needed to dril the head off
the injectors are the same , i mark theme so i know wich was front / rear
9 out off 10 when you drip off a head off a screw, the tension is off, and you can screw the left over end out, with your figers
injector test...ok
after cleaning and new rubbers
the screws are metric ( m5 )
line up the injectors so the top feed part can lot in
with the 1 screw holding the bracket , line it out so bough injectors are in about the same height
manifold back on and putting back on the safety mod throttle cable
line up the manifolt before you tighten the allen bolts to the flanges
using a hydrolic loctite in the breather bolts to help theme seal
tps set , but still would not run propper , you get a feel for it
i have suspision the tps sensor is worn out , could have done this with the intake seals, doing it now is a little fidely but can bedone
old off and new on
haha,... much better. the way it should run
bugger... my luck....
luckaly the other end was not in to hard
during testng i had the intake sensor off, bike i will run, but will trow a error code
fuel filter and tps wire attached
covers back on
and little heating up , see if everything is ok... she is ready for some more km
Sporster in for some love and care
funny how you notice the sound off a engine that douse not run nice... running this one warm for fluid drain... intake seal leak test... yep leaking big time
will need a front tire... dry cracks
but first draining the engine oil
and the gearbox oil ... alway some metal debris on this plug
clutch cover off... bling
cluch outer adjuster.. give it a lick off grease
cluch outer adjuster.. give it a lick off grease
plugs out
looking lean...
primary chain is way to tight
first gearbox oil back in, and mechanisme back in
cover on... sutch bling... needed to take care off my finger prints
adjusting the primairy chain... mnnn this is no nyloc nut...
the nylon parts sits against the cover to seal ... i put it back on " up" side down
the rear suspention is rock hard... customer asked what option there are, i think more lenght and good shock absorbers .. i take 1 inch longer
lets see if this change allot to the bike ... old
new... little higher but not strange high... we will go with a set Ohlings . longer travel so it douse not have to be back breaking hard
checking the rear wheel
bearings ok
belt is ok , wheel can go back in
and start the intake seals , removing the airfilter baseplate
the look to grease for me... looks like the sealing rings are not sealing..
and you can pull of the carb
intake manifold off... defenaly leaking... because this customer has never had a HD , rough ride is take as it is a HD... please it needs to run smooth
cleaning and new seals
lyning up and carb can be put on
take care off the vacuum hoses
choke cable and fuel line mounted
lyning up the brackets
with the airfilter plate on... tighten the breather bolts final
