Just popping back to thank you for the reassurance . The torque wrench was clicking at almost 50nms with the spindle half way in but I got it all the way home and the bike runs fine

With the rear...

Just to update I got the belt sprocket and tensioner on with spindle in straight (but untightened) the spindle feels way too tight like it's going to bust the bearings even with no tightening

Hi all,

I've received an upgrade kit for my '03 xb9r. In the box is a G0500.1aah Belt and a 65tooth rear sprocket with no part #. They both seem to measure at 14mm pitch, however it's extremely...

Thanks Tork, I think I'll slack off the throttle cables a tad and try again. I kept backing off the idle screw until the degree value stopped going down, this was at 0.1 and then when I forced the...

Thanks for the advice, TPS reset worked great focusing on the degrees value - I actually had to snap my throttle forward slightly to get it to 0.0 .

I'll get hunting for some mobil then, I'm...

I'm in Yorkshire, UK. That's state as in condition not a state of america - if that's what you were thinking.

I'm still in the break in period, that's a fair point though hopefully it will settle...

Hi all,


Recently picked up my xb9r from an utter scumbag in a deadly state. I've corrected the front brake which was seizing on but naturally a little paranoid; I've fitted a new EBC rotor and...
