    Help!

    Buell tech told me Friday that I should split my cases and clean everything out! I was like, "What the what?!?" I'm hoping for best case scenario as opposed to what he said. The insides of an oil pump is pretty impressive. The amount of material I found above the scavenging gerotor looks to...

    Help!

    Cut filter open. Pretty easy and not as messy as I expected. Used my trusty Dremel. Filter was clean. Blew out oil lines. No debris found. Am now awaiting for new filter ($207 with shipping) and will cross my fingers that Buellie is ok.

    XB12R Frame / chassis replacement

    Yep, all the same. The Buell XB is the core of the thing is the same. I rebuilt an entire bike out of parts from many XB's.

    I'm from Evansville, hence the user name. We have some pretty sick twisties and back roads down here.

    Help!

    Well, I hope the thrust washer was in there! No one's taken that sucker apart, ever. You can see the top of the gerotor is concave I'm guessing here, where the the thrust washer was ground down against the gear and the top of the housing. First pic. Wolfo68 had a very similar failure. Check...

    Diary of a madman!

    Just checked out your post. Were the particles in the cam box from the cams themselves, or from the inside of your oil pump? My upper gear looks great with no nicks. All the damage appears to be inside the pump housing. I really don't want to pull the cam cover again. Did it once and hated...

    Diary of a madman!

    Happened to you too?!? I noticed that no material made it down to the lower half. Those gerotors are serious pieces of metal with really tight tolerances. I actually got like a razor cut on my thumb from trying to separate the lower set. All I did find on the drain plug's magnet and the...

    Help!

    Those chunks of metal is or was the thrust washer! To disintegrate at just over 6k on the clock is unusual, to say the least. My hope is that the Wix filter caught the rest of the pieces. New pump from dealer at $204 including tax. Searching for salvage yard replacement, but it's been my...

    Diary of a madman!

    It was the thrust washer above the upper gerotor that was ground down to nothing. I have no idea what would cause this kind of failure. Both gerotor sets have very close tolerances. I guess shutting her down right away was a wise decision. My main concern now is if larger chunks of the...

    Update: finally had time to work on the xb. Drained oil, pulled filter, checked ball and spring, dropped oil pump. This is what I found Shaft was a bit difficult to turn and was grabby. I didn't think this was how it was supposed to operate. Ya think? Chunks of metal like the one seen to...

    Help!

    No tip over or anything like that. The bike is handled quite carefully as it is just about finished and all but perfect. See pics on my build thread. In my fruitless search, I did come across a suggestion to undo the filter and put it back on. I'll try that too. It's done because of an air...
