Could be as simple as a loose mainshaft nut?
It'd be nice to see an XBr engine build up.
I have the best Snap-On ring pliers and compressor,and a few other tools if i can help you. |

Noise seems to be coming from the middle to upper part of the motor......
I rode it sunday a few hours in hopes to find out what it was.
But it never went BOOOM!
When it does that, I will know exactly what the problem is..

Eric, has oil consumption gone up?
Or just noise?
Could be a cracked ring, collapsed skirt, wrist pin clip, etc....
I know you probably know this, but...

No oil consumption, Already checked the Main shaft nut, pulleys, chain.
Power level has been slipping little by little, I can feel it the more I ride.
I'd like to do a compression test on it and oil pressure test. Then go from there.
It does seem to get quieter after the 5k mark....OR I just can't hear it by then |

What if you "accidentally" rode it in the figure 8 races in Brockton? Just ghost ride it every time you come to the crossing & you'll be alright.
Or just park it in Brockton and wait... Some happy crackhead will take it off your hands. |

Hey Eric,
Do you still have that front rotor I gave you a while ago? |
Firebolteric_ma
| | Posted on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 - 04:33 pm: |
|
I warped it from to much heat from the stock set up. Same with my original one.
They were warped so I tossed them when I put the Bigger caliper on last year.
started with a fresh rotor. Your wavy one crap out? |

Any of you guize have the front pulley layin around? Im wanting to go to the belt setup for winter (goin to be riding deep into snow season) and dont want to trash the chain setup. Also whose gearing up for the headless horseman, plans should be starting shortly. |

What I actually need is a front rim with all the fixin's. Bought me a set of Corsa Dragons and want to put them on a spare set of tires for track days. I already have a rear setup, now I need a front. Was figuring that I could probably get a front rim cheaper without a rotor on it.
Hammer, you need the tensioner pulley or the pulley on the tranny?
Knowin you, you're probably are looking for the "Pulley on the tranny,"  |

Does anyone want to trade a NEBO patch for a Hampton Roads Hooligans Patch? If so send me a PM.

I need both but not picky either will do untill I can put it all together. That new track is great, tried to get a ticket but was sold out and nobody is letting them go. |

I hope he did not give up the Gixer, Buells are only good for so long. It is a V-Twin.
One should ALWAYS have a back up bike... |

Hey Shawn,
Thanks for letting me hook up to your laptop last night. I'm psyched that I can tune my ecm.
Can't wait to see compare bikes in the daylight. Let me know when we can ride. I have the kids this weekend, but I'm free the following two.
I checked the eprom on the xopti site and the 2007 race doesn't match mine. Is there a way to load it into ecmspay and copy the maps?
More research to do. I'll be in touch. |
