Author Message   Ciel_bleu Posted on Thursday, June 11, 2015 - 08:47 am:        How much do you expect to see on the chip magnet of the primary oil. I just did the first change on my XB12 so I'm not sure whats normal. Engine oil magnet had much less. Bike has 44000km. Last service at 30.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, June 11, 2015 - 08:56 am:        That's more and bigger debris than I have ever seen on 3 Buells (including one with a broken primary tensioner). Any issues with the transmission or charging system?   Ciel_bleu Posted on Thursday, June 11, 2015 - 09:20 am:        Clunk clunk clunk through the gears but I expect thats normal. I've had no false neutrals and charging is spot on. I'll run a volt meter next time I ride for the hell of it but no issues so far...   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, June 11, 2015 - 10:05 am:        Sounds like normal clunking. Keep an eye on it when you change the primary fluid... it will either get worse or it won't.   Buellistic Posted on Thursday, June 11, 2015 - 10:50 am:        The FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL is wrong on the PRIMARY CHAIN adjustment and should be adjusted to 3/4 inch on the chain tight spot ... PRIMARY ADJUSTMENT Class 101, just PM me for a copy ... Change the PRIMARY CHAIN LUBRICANT every 5K miles ...   Ciel_bleu Posted on Thursday, June 11, 2015 - 05:52 pm:        Definitely going to pay more attention to it from now on. 5000k it is. Hopefully there aren't too many chunks of metal are in there grinding away. Probably a dumb question and as soon as I post I'll figure it out but how do you turn the engine over to find the tight spot? Do you just turn the key with the ignition switch off?   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, June 12, 2015 - 08:24 am:        I just use the starter with the bike in neutral to bump it and measure in a few places. Just hit the starter lever enough to move the crank, not enough to start it.   Court Posted on Friday, June 12, 2015 - 09:23 pm:        And please ...... No fingers, tools or toes near that chain when you bump the starter.
