    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    Annnnnnd Done! The bike is through break in, has been well tuned and shaken down by a few very competent riders. I'm pretty happy with the result and the bikes owner seems satisfied as well. Talk about fast and loud, this things a screamer and seems to have a very usable torque curve. Tuning was...

    Gotcha, thanks guys. Still another solid day of wrenching and at least that in getting aquatinted with the tuning set up but the end is in sight. Its starting to look like a bike now which is always good for moral.

    Mike this isn't the belleville, or spring, washer. I've got that one in place just in front of the clutch basket as your suggesting. This washer although looks beveled on the side in the picture is solid.

    So i pulled the clutch back out this morning to throw that thrust washer in that should have been obvious to me in the first place... turns out i'm not crazy after all. The washer is significantly too small for the spline. Tested it to verify on the crack side as well just for good measure...

    Mike, my understanding was that he just wanted the maps adjusted, ignition module should be set up as usual.

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    Haha, cant argue there. I did see your response a while back, but already had enough assembled that it was going to be a pain to pull the clutch until i could get the bike on its wheels. Yes the smart thing to do would have been to take my time and get it right the first time, but like you said...

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    Thanks for the tip 3419. if i ever do a bike build again there are a few things that i'd set up ahead of time to make life easier. This would be one of them. And i know, thats why im surprised i would have missed it. I got the bike back on its feet last night so within the nest week i'll pull...

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    So after some more discussion with Aaron and playing around in the tuning software I'm pretty sure i've got a good handle on what needs to happen. I still havent gotten the bike up on its feet so that i can yank the clutch and throw that washer in the right place, or see that it wont fit over...

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    I did talk to Aaron about tuning briefly. I planned to touch base with him again soon. But unfortunately, he didn't have anything to offer in terms of actual numbers or tunes for this bike. But as long as i know roughly what needs to get done i'm sure i can figure it out. i'm adding a hidden...

    Mike, the bike has a big bore kit from Hammer Performance, their comp valve job and a very free flowing (basically straight piped) exhaust. Now agin, just assuming that with an Alpha-N tune there are histograms/maps that relate the throttle position and rpm to the volume of fuel injected. I'd...

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    Cooter, Ive added a few cubic inches. So I'm assuming that due to the fact that theres no MAF, its basically running a speed density tune. Which, again assuming, means that I'll be really lean unless i scale the fuel maps with the added CCs.

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    Hmmmm, i'll double check in a few days but for some reason according to my memory the ID of the washer is smaller than that of the splined input shaft of the transmission that the clutch surrounds. I do have the manual but due to that memory i was looking in the wrong places. Thanks guys. Any...

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    Hey guys I could use some help here. Who can tell me where this washer/spacer goes. I believe its somewhere near the clutch or generator assembly.

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    Nice, I have heard a bit about the timing modules on these bikes. Being that the XBs timing is controlled by the computer does it still spark on every stroke? I may end up replacing the coil on this bike just to ensure that i'm getting proper spark. Injector cleaning is going to happen one way...

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    So i got their 1042 engine package which has 3.596 Cylinders that they then hone in house, 3.6 10.5:1 inch pistons. I had them gap the rings and do a composition valve job. New cometic gaskets all around, new S&S lifters, push rods, plugs, wires and finally a new clutch pack with a 15% stronger...

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    The Buell project was on hold for a bit waiting on parts but last Friday the shipment from Hammer Performance came in. I'd say it was like Christmas morning but, lets be honest, it was much better. The machine work that Hammer did was top notch and after receipt dan was very helpful in walking...

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    The reassembly is continuing as planned. If one of you guys could just sanity check that my cam timing looks right that'd be awesome. I'm pretty confident but never hurts to have a second set of eyes on it. At this point the engine is on hold until parts from hammer arrive so i'll be moving my...

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    Alright so progress on the bike continues. I was very impressed by how little wear there was on the components internal to the engine casing. I cleaned everything, gave the case a coat of paint and essentially just slapped everything back together. Honestly, I've never come across a transmission...

    Mike, I ended up biting the bullet and ordering a new rear mount. If you still interested in my broken one PM me and let meknow what its worth to you. As long as its a bit more than the cost to ship it to you its yours.

    2005 XB9R Custom Build

    Cooter, good call on that seem-less transmission. That got the engineer in me very excited haha. Its a mechanical version of what a double clutch transmission does electronically. Very cool. Mike, my brother in-law owns a welding business and happens to be a big Harley guy. He's going to take...
