28-9-2015 – What did we do today 26-9-2015 Xb service , XB Brake disc trouble

Xb Service, very nice Long with S ( short tail section ) in for some TLC

Xb Service, hot as it comes… so draining the oil

Xb Service, while draining, removing covers.

Xb Service, working on XB.. you get a little heat resitance as the engine is a big heat sink… spark plug out, nice combustion

Xb Service, drain plugs back on and gear box oil back

Xb Service, hooking on the little clutch tab out side the primairy cover, so it can not fall in

Xb Service, after hooking on the ramp mechanisme you can put everything back on

Xb Service, loosening the outer clutch cable adjuster and setting the free play on the ramp

Xb Service, oil filter on

Xb Service, rear caliper off to check the wheel bearings ( and the rear brake )

Xb Service, rest off the covers off and axle pinch bolts loosened

Xb Service, yep there tight some times , loosening the rear axle i like to do it with the wheel on the ground.. as i sometimes need to pull it with much force

Xb Service,wheel out to inspect the bearings and chek the belt on cracks and wear

Xb Service, wheel back in , i cleaned the axle and put some new grease on it

Xb Service, with the rear wheel in the air… 5e gear and bump the engine to check the chain for tight spots , set the free play on the tightest spot

 

Xb Service, old style side stand pivot , check theme for tightness ( they come loose )

Xb Service, as this one was loose, a little cleaning and new grease on… and red loctite hope it will stay on better

Xb Service, a spring puller is mighty handy putting back on the spring

Xb Service, little precare makes the clutch cable last longer … never seas on the threads

Xb Service, as i did notice a little mayo in the clutch cover check the boot for cracks and ziptie the ends closed

Xb Service, setting the gap on the sparkplugs, and front one ready to go in — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.

Xb Service, wheel bearings are good

Xb Service,, forks out to change the oil

Xb Service, everything back on and some newneverseas on the axle

Xb Service, tightening up the front end

Xb Service, and brake fluid change

Xb Service, a S Tail section on a SS model means you need to create some room under the seat, as the rear shock is under more angle , so you need to mount a set off tail raisers , or cut the belly pan and move the battery up 2 cm , ( done here ) so little room left for the ecm — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.

Xb Service, nicely done by the customer him self ( needed to remove the battery to swap ecm’s — bijTwin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.

Xb Service, as the customer has swapped his exhaust , he will keep the fuel mapped ecm with the old exhaust , i will put in his old stock ecm and do the fuel mapping for this exhaust on it — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.

Xb Service,swapping ecm’s setting, means setting the tps again.

Xb Service, looking at the computer diagnostics… and the hard starting … battery problems ? customer kept it on the charger about always… battery problem? i think charging problem ! — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.

Xb Service, mesuring the AC from the regulator all good on all leads 20 volts at idle — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.

Xb Service, the DC out put from the regulator … 4 volts.. so basicly the battey is draining while it is running..

25-9-2015 – What did we do today 24-9-2015 XB9 diesel, XR1200 dirt track front end, nice XB

XR1200 , dirt track front end, parts came in time to finish this bike

XR1200, starting to strip as we need to get to the headlight / dash connectors the fuel tank needs to come off

XR1200, fuel tank off … i love those HD quick connectors , pulling the air filter out off the way

XR1200, head light and indicators connectors are behind the airfilter right side off the frame

XR1200, speedo , head light off

XR1200, the rest off the connectors speedo and handle bar swtiches

XR1200, after removing the upper triple t , the new headlight assembly can be put on..

XR1200, triple t back on

XR1200, was a little vague in the discription , but the OEM brake line and throttle cable guide need to come off the lower triple as there is not enough room under the new headlight assembly, so off again and now good wink-emoticon

XR1200, very nice headlight brackets

XR1200, in full glory… the plate can be painted , now shows the protective tape that was put on

XR1200, hooking up the headlight wires… i’m getting old need to take off my glasses wink-emoticon

XR1200, terminals on the new wires and ready to connect

all good.

sideview bulps mounted the right way

Nice stickers (-: if you wonder why there is so much corrosion… this bike has been living on a small isle , with lots off salty air

i noticed some things rubbing… as the original exhaust mount was removed, the pully cover needs a spacer at the bottom screw otherwise it will rub

as we noticed the Plus pole was loose.. and charging problems and cutting out … i wonder iff the negative is also loose , need to take the battery out to check

aaah yes also loose… cause off many problems

and i wonder why put bought charger leads on the same terminal… will put it right wink-emoticon

very nice colour Xb in for big service

XB diesel, cylinders cleaned and back on the rear first works better that way

Xb diesel, with the cylinders on, checking valves and putting on new valve seals

XB9 Diesel , time to put the heads back on… put the pushrod cover o-rings in the heads… before you put these on.. the other way around , very big change off dammaging the o-rings and you can do it all over again after 400 km

X1 tyre change… not optimal use off the rubber, but it comes close wink-emoticon

XB12SX front sparky out

XB12SX, drain plugs back in… this is gearbox… with first oil change breaking in the gearbox this is normal

XB12SX, right side covers strip

XB12SX, and the old oil filter off

XB12SX, good habit to check the bearing.. little silly on a 2010 low milage, but any way check theme…

XB12SX, some one asked a few weeks ago how to spot a 2010 3 bearing wheel… well you can see the big dust seals

XB12SX, and the loose spacer on the brake side… beware off this one, wheel will not aline good when you drop this spacer ( 2010 3 bearing rear wheels only )

XB12SX, 2010 axle is black ( can be retrofitted on the older XB models ) and nice and lubed up

XB12SX, give here a spin to check the bearings

XB12SX, and cehck the sparkplug wires

XB12SX, gapped and never sease ready to go in

XB12SX, airfilter base plate cleaned, and put back on

XB12SX, those T25 screws.. well at about 8 euros a piece.. i can still used theme, on a place that is not used so much… tapping a T27 bit in theme a few times to remove the burs , inside the airbox they will do

XB12SX, time for the front end , fighting the brake caliper bolts, the first time is always very hard to remove these, use good fitting tools

XB12SX, front fender off

XB12SX, strange left leg is leaking ?

XB12SX, line the slot fromt he 8 piston caliper up witht he wheels spokes push the pads a little back to remove the caliper with out damage to the wheel paint

XB12SX, front legs out

XB12SX, little isolation tape to protect the black fragile cap nut

XB12SX, and front fork striping

XB12SX, seals and guide bushings out

XB12SX, on the left side little scratches, will clean this up

XB12SX, isolation tape over the sharp edges to start and protect the seals

XB12SX, and with the trusted seal tool , hammer the oil seal home

XB12SX, do the same for the right lig

XB12SX, i like to put the c-clip on the dust seal to protect the legs during mounting

XB12SX, forks back to gettter, fill theme with 400 cc and bleed the rebound damper untill the strokes up and down feels controlled from top to bottum

XB12SX, fill a little more oil and set to level 95-97 mm airchamber in this case ( 2010 SX )

XB12SX, legs back in

XB12SXm and wheel back on…

XB12SX, making a over contact feed for the navigation, well that is already on the bike ( 2008 up ) only need to plug it in…

XB12SX, off cource checking iff the acc relais is in wink-emoticon

XB12SX, fresh brake fluid in

XB12SX, checking the suspesion settings for the new owener

XB12SX, loose grips… don’t like theme

XB12SX, pulled the grip off and new glue on, feels so much better

XB12SX, heating here up for oil level check and test ride smile-emoticon

XB9 diesel… after a long time the customer gave his ok for repair… as the bike had run way to long on a fuel / diesel mixture it needed new pistons and the cylinders where bad, lucky for hime we have over size XB9 pistons wink-emoticon so cylinders where bored to oversize and a set off fresh pistons are on

XB9 Diesel… the front head was flushed clean by the diesel

XB9 diesel, the rear cylinder was sort off working , the bike came in running on 1 cylinder and smoking like a steamboot frown-emoticon

X1 in to check the bad stuter and bad riding , sometimes.. most difficult to find, as it is not everytime

X1 ets, as there was a historic error Engine temp sensor, will start to have a look at this one , cover and fuel cell off — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.

X1 ets, with the fuel cell off you can get to the temp sensor hidden in the reasr head

X1 ets, with the sensor out, ( need to be grounded to check ) heating it up and checking the readings on the computer.. when above 120 deg.. the sensor readings go hayware , adjusting the fuel with more than 160 % , well that would be a cause off the sutter and really fat running

X1 ets, to be sure checking the cable harness on the sensor wire for hidding cracks or bad contacts

X1 ets, new sensor in , running perfect… but feeling the cylinders i could feel a little knock.. mnnnn

X1 ets, magnet on a stick in the oil tank, came out not really nice… fine metal dustdebris in the oil tank, pritty sure a crank bearing is on it’s way out , some times i hate to be the messenger

Smoking 883, new parts arrived, time to close here up.. rotor back on red loctite on the threads

Smoking 883, soaking the new plates in gearbox oil ( atf type D4 )

Smoking 883, and after 15 minutes stacking theme back on the hub / basket

Smoking 883, the BDL plate kit come with a little heavier spring.. will use this one ( 1,85 mm thick to stock 1,75 )

Smoking 883, new pulling plate with out a ware edge — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.
