Annnnnnd Done! The bike is through break in, has been well tuned and shaken down by a few very competent riders. I'm pretty happy with the result and the bikes owner seems satisfied as well. Talk...
Gotcha, thanks guys. Still another solid day of wrenching and at least that in getting aquatinted with the tuning set up but the end is in sight. Its starting to look like a bike now which is always...
Mike this isn't the belleville, or spring, washer. I've got that one in place just in front of the clutch basket as your suggesting. This washer although looks beveled on the side in the picture is...
So i pulled the clutch back out this morning to throw that thrust washer in that should have been obvious to me in the first place... turns out i'm not crazy after all. The washer is significantly...
Mike, my understanding was that he just wanted the maps adjusted, ignition module should be set up as usual.
Haha, cant argue there. I did see your response a while back, but already had enough assembled that it was going to be a pain to pull the clutch until i could get the bike on its wheels. Yes the...
Thanks for the tip 3419. if i ever do a bike build again there are a few things that i'd set up ahead of time to make life easier. This would be one of them.
And i know, thats why im surprised i...
So after some more discussion with Aaron and playing around in the tuning software I'm pretty sure i've got a good handle on what needs to happen. I still havent gotten the bike up on its feet so...
I did talk to Aaron about tuning briefly. I planned to touch base with him again soon. But unfortunately, he didn't have anything to offer in terms of actual numbers or tunes for this bike. But as...
Mike, the bike has a big bore kit from Hammer Performance, their comp valve job and a very free flowing (basically straight piped) exhaust. Now agin, just assuming that with an Alpha-N tune there are...
Cooter, Ive added a few cubic inches. So I'm assuming that due to the fact that theres no MAF, its basically running a speed density tune. Which, again assuming, means that I'll be really lean unless...
Hmmmm, i'll double check in a few days but for some reason according to my memory the ID of the washer is smaller than that of the splined input shaft of the transmission that the clutch surrounds. I...
Hey guys I could use some help here. Who can tell me where this washer/spacer goes. I believe its somewhere near the clutch or generator assembly.1537915380
Nice, I have heard a bit about the timing modules on these bikes. Being that the XBs timing is controlled by the computer does it still spark on every stroke? I may end up replacing the coil on this...
So i got their 1042 engine package which has 3.596 Cylinders that they then hone in house, 3.6 10.5:1 inch pistons. I had them gap the rings and do a composition valve job. New cometic gaskets all...
The Buell project was on hold for a bit waiting on parts but last Friday the shipment from Hammer Performance came in. I'd say it was like Christmas morning but, lets be honest, it was much better....
The reassembly is continuing as planned. If one of you guys could just sanity check that my cam timing looks right that'd be awesome. I'm pretty confident but never hurts to have a second set of eyes...
Alright so progress on the bike continues. I was very impressed by how little wear there was on the components internal to the engine casing. I cleaned everything, gave the case a coat of paint and...
Mike, I ended up biting the bullet and ordering a new rear mount. If you still interested in my broken one PM me and let meknow what its worth to you. As long as its a bit more than the cost to ship...
Cooter, good call on that seem-less transmission. That got the engineer in me very excited haha. Its a mechanical version of what a double clutch transmission does electronically. Very cool.
...
Thanks for the input Cooter, I'll take a close look at 2nd gear and research adding a 6th gear, that would be pretty cool i'f its somehow possible.
Okay, so I've torn into this thing pretty good. For being as rough on the exterior as this bike is the internals look to be in pretty good shape. Im going to start the process of measuring runnouts...
Today the tear down continues. I'm hoping to have everything disassembled today. (the current temp of -1 may prohibit that progress but well see) I'll have a better idea once I tear into it but is...
With the reassurance from you guys that Aaron does indeed know what he's talking about the heads have been shipped off to Hammer Performance. In the mean time the tear down continues. For the first...
Hahaha, this is gonna be a fun build thread, i can tell already.
Mike, I'm just doing the valve job. Aaron said that there would be some porting involved with that service but nothing to serious....
