XBRR first startup
9-12-2010 - Dris his Buell XBRR was in need of some tender love and care. There where almost no more excuses. The starter motor and Slipper clutch were collecting dust.
So it was becoming time to start the Buell XBRR beast up for the first time,
to let here at least heat cycle a few time, before we run here on the dyno.
first we have to mount the starter motor,
because with the slipper clutch mounted, there’s no other way to start here
so far so good,
primairy off , and have a look at the trapdoor for the gearbox,
with the trapdoor the gearbox is a lot quicker to service than with a normal Xb engine
but the engine is a very tight fit in between the frame, so we had to rotate anyway
gearbox site
note the completely different crankpin,
there's a small altenator and a little rotor mounted on the crank trigger wheel
some very nice part form the STM slipper clutch
some more nice things
thight fitting exhaust adaptor ( no gasket needed )
starter motor in, again it fits but only just
wires in place, the RR was prewired for a starter motor, so al the other electrical stuf like relais, fuses, switch where already in place
we where eager to put here back to getter and start here up
she's purring like a little mean kitting with claw's of a tiger
