    New motorcycle for me (also... WTF is wrong with me??)

    Im pretty certain the fact Cooter knows the best way to enter a Gimp Suit points to its not his first time. The fact your even asking his adivce 0n Gimp suit entry has me concerned. BEER! Is it a suit with a zipper mouth or crutch? oooo maybe a gag ball?? asking for a friend.

    So now that I have re built the XB9 the 12S is going to be pushed to one side for a month or 2 until a couple of other jobs are complete and I can have my workshop back to myself. Then there are plans of stripping it and re painting it, re-place wheel bearings etc and getting it running...

    The joys or working on Buell's. The 12S in this thread seemed to develop worsening problems the more I fixed things. It started easier with new plugs, idled smoother with a new fuel pump, but as soon as I went for another test ride the damn thing started missing and back firing thru the intake...

    The pump came out of a 2004 XB12s. I bought a replacement pump some time ago for a 2003 XB9r.

    Photo's of the old pump. Note the hose clamps, damage to the pump/ filter holder caused by forcing it into the frame during fitment, the filter has been bent to the point the stiffeners were broken or I suspect cut with side cutters so it would fit. My FAVORITE tho is the crushed low fuel...

    Rebuilt it using a Kit from John tonight. Fitted it, put some fuel in, hooked it up turned the key and silence.......I was shocked, but in a good way......the previous pump screeched like a banshee and in comparison the hiss the new pump makes now is blissful silence. It started instantly, idled...

    Spoke too soon, went for a ride and symptoms reappeared. Checked intakes seal again (with ether) to be sure beyond a doubt. Pressure tested the fuel pump ...... oh dear. It could build pressure but not keep it up......sounds familiar. I removed the pump......it's fokn trash!!! Photos to come...

    Plugs are in, idles much better. no popping or dropping off. Much less backfire on run down, but still a little crackle just to say HI!

    TPS reset makes no difference

    Yes I have heard that the only real difference is the iridiums longevity and its resistance to fouling. 60k as opposed to 10k for an OE plug. Changing the plugs every 10k does have the added bonus of getting the chance to view the throttle body/ intake assy etc up close. Thru my job sadly I'm...

    Ok so its been a couple of years now. Ive been plodding away with this trike in fits and starts and finally the construction part is done. I have been test riding it, my girlfriend has been riding it and we are both happy with it. From here the certifier is going to go over it and all being...

    "don't go full 'tard" I said...When I last fitted my tank bag, there is a strap that goes round the neck and under the frame by the front engine mount......I had it on the wrong side of the throttle cables pushing them against the frame....when I released it the throttle loosened up. One less...

    I had a play with the throttle and found it is not snapping back like I think it, or thought it used to. Kinda snaps 2/3 of the way then slows and feels like there is way less tension on the return for that last 1/3. I will be investigating further when the air box comes off to fit the plugs, as...
