2-2-2017 Rear pulley X1 , big inspection XB12X

14-2-2017 - 2-2-2017 Rear pulley Buell X1 , big 16000KM inspection Buell XB12X

X1 rear pully is worn out... and eats belts time to replace it

size 36 to loosen and remove the nut and axle

sharp edges and coating gone

yep... works better like this... these can be a bitch to loosen

fresh and new reproduction pully on

red loctite and nuts back in

fideling belt on and spacer in place

axle in and adjusterplates on

nut just on... now first set the belt tension , measure left and right so the wheel is straight

new belt , it will need some checking after 1500 km

Uly big inspection and service

taking the airbox cover off... mnnn never seen that bolt come loose ? will first check the rest

running here warm to drain the fluids

it was idling at 1500 rpm... mnnn i reset the tps

and check the intake seals...it idles already normal after the tps reset, and no reaction on the leak test

chin spoiler off... always the 1 metric screw that makes you look for tools ( not the normal T27 )

motor spoiler bracket off , to replace the oil filter

fuilds are drained , clutch inspection cover off

mnnn engine oil drain plug... has some metal dust on it ... but we don't know how long this oil is in ( i think way to long ) so i will clean this and make a note, to check this the next time , to determen when it is smart to strip the engine

the cable is sweating oil on the connection between the cable outer and the fitting in the cover

crappy solution for a broken cable bracket.. cable is burned by the header

and a non standard bolt is used for the front tierod

i loosen the clutch cable to remove it

we sell heat shink tube with a heat activated glue layer, a good solution to repair a sweating clutch cable , when you heat it , start in the middle and work to bought ends... so you see the glue comming out.. to ensure the bonding is oil tight
