I put a new one on at the start of the summer and it was really freakin' tight, but everything turned and operated properly so I was happy

if the bike feels like it's solid and riding well still,...

you can do everything involved in fork seal replacements in your garage pretty easily with a floor jack, rear wheel stand, and a bunch of basic hand tools

are you saying the new roller-bearing you put in that sits in that race on the right-hand...

not only if you're bouncing the rev limiter, any time you're going over 5k RPMs is hurting the old crank-pin

I have a couple crank-pins with spaulding and failed bearings, only one of them saw a...

the narrow-band O2 does OK, replacing it every couple years helps it stay on edge

the race ECM does a great job with all kinds of systems stuck on the end, not perfect or anything but it helps...

there was never anything wrong with the early race ECMs I've run across, and a couple have changed my hands under my ownership and I've spoken with a couple more people with 12s with them on it as...

between 2 1/16 and 2 3/16

I don't know the actual size, I own a huge set that goes up to nearly 3 inches and has a couple dozen sockets in it so I never bother to pay attention

it requires a...

BUELL XB MODELS

03 XB9s were the ONLY Buell with the thinner belt, everything else has the same belt drive they have today

in 2008 they upped the crank-pin from 1.25 to 1.5 inches, increases...

it should be plug-and-play

the self-adjusting timing should be sending the same response to the ECM for firing off the plugs as the manually adjusted one

as long as the plugs mate, you're fine...

the ball in the peg is used to make the peg more difficult to move, it doesn't provide any bearing characteristics at all and to quite the contrary creates a fair amount of friction and wear between...

you can use a new engine and just put your old headers on it to take care of the ECM deal

all of the motor mounts match up across all years of XBs, the heads, jugs, and back end of the cases...

that sure is one way to do it, bonus points to you for creativity and raw solution brute forcing haha

overfilling can do funny things with the pressure in the various lines and jets throughout the engine, but generally a small overfill will do no damage

the 2008 and later model years have larger...

there was another thread about this... it's even still in the top 10 still as I post this reply
...

yes, that is even good

these bikes (I mean any air-cooled Harley engine, so revolution excluded and 1125 excluded) typically burn a half quart over 4500 miles, much more if the valve-train is worn...

I'm in Boston, MA for the summer and can pass it along on my antique Honda, but my Buell is still in Milwaukee

I can get anywhere from Maine to MD, or Maine to PA somewhere

ah, usually to get that damned thing off I've taken it down to my local Peterbuild because I have a buddy who is a heavy diesel mechanic there and we bring out the 1100 ft/lbs impact to spin it off

engine sprocket may mean three things based on your lack of precise wording:

primary sprocket on crankshaft nut (~200 ft lbs torque, I believe RH thread)
clutch basket nut (~80 ft lbs torque, I...

I don't believe the pistons pins have any bushings between them, and if you mean the bushing at the end of the connecting rod you're out of luck

Harley does not sell the various pieces of the...

08 got the updated crank pin, so 08 and later are running a 1.5 inch crank pin instead of the 1.25 inch crank pin present in all previous Buell motorcycles under H-D production

the 1.25 crank pin...

I think you can use the top hole instead of the bottom one to fit a GP style shift setup, I recall someone having put up a how-to or something about that

otherwise, I would think a helicoil would...

the triple tree is designed to shatter before the forks bend on the Buell XB and 1125 models, if there are no cracks or anything on the triple tree upper and lower, you're fine on the front end as...

it's a ceramic mixture with some propellants in a can, it works just like if you bought some ceramic coating for use with a paint-gun

I only coated the outside, so that means the metal and the...

the power band on these is suppose to start up right around 2000 RPMs, that is the entire point of the V-twin flat torque curve bud

at 3500 RPMs the bike should be smooth, if it's got what feels...
