    Service Record

    Had no idea how common an issue the stator side of electrical connector melting is, on a variety of bikes, until researching this issue. So far, it seems our OEM Ulysses stator is 3 phase 38A 2007 model year and earlier, and mine being single phase and 30A 2008 and newer, the connectors that...

    Bike had charging problem when I bought it last fall. New Yuasa battery 15 months ago, and a new regulator from Twin Motorcycles this past June, all was working well until this past Sunday. So, from this past June until now, 6 months and 17,367km's with no problem. Voltage while running all that...

    Service Record

    Strange stuff I have learned about my 2008 Buell XB1200XT.- If you fuel up a really hot bike, on a hot day, and then take a break with gas cap on, fuel can boil and piss out overflow which is near swingarm oil drain bolt- In super torrential rain, it can get into air filter and drown out engine...

    Starter motor really fits out right side of bike???

    So. You cannot undo the 2 45* bends in the oil vent line with the tool that makes them. likewise, cannot bend it out of the way enough. Pulled the new starter motor back out, only to find it is longer than original. Also noticed all weep holes on the starter motor from Rare Electric are on the...

    Starter motor really fits out right side of bike???

    Shall be an interesting day tomorrow I am sure Cooter. Took a bus for the first time in my adult life to get a proper tube bender. Won't mess with it until tomorrow morning. Having "a" bourbon while I try to learn how to properly use the tube bending pliers at moment.

    Starter motor really fits out right side of bike???

    Thought buying a starter clutch from Twin Motorcycle was going to be the OEM part. Turns out it is same part, from same company, that Rareelectric sells. So I have a full brand new Wai starter, and a 15 year old OEM starter that will only get a new Wai starter clutch. Which part of that makes me...

    Starter motor really fits out right side of bike???

    To be thorough, filled other side with oil and no leak after 3 hours. Then figured since my Netherlands order was arriving today, I would just wait for the OEM starter clutch and rebuild and use the original. Big box is from Rareelectrical, small box is a new starter clutch from Twin...

    Starter motor really fits out right side of bike???

    Don't care to ever do this particular job again. Am I doing this test right? Filled top with room temperature Formula+ primary fluid and checked after 10 minutes, none has leaked through.

    Starter motor really fits out right side of bike???

    So it does fit out the right side of bike with about a quarter of a millimeter to spare. Do I have to remove nose cone on the RareE starter to do oil test, or can I just pour some in where the blue pen is pointing to see if it has a proper seal?

    Starter motor really fits out right side of bike???

    It is the 1.4kw one I ordered. Actually the one linked in this thread. Read first page of thread before leaving for work and used the Amazon link on that thread. Then I got home read the rest of the pages in the thread and panicked but, had already paid for the Rareelectric starter. Must work...

    Starter motor really fits out right side of bike???

    Have owned my 2008 XB12XT for a year now. So far have had to resolder grounds for headlights, replace front and rear brake rotors and pads, clutch cable, new battery, voltage regulator, and spoon on a front tire and two rear tires. When I bought it last fall it was already indicating that a...

    My new ride

    I am wondering if a 05 XB9 Firebolt rear shock will bolt in to my Ulysses XT. Not looking to ride it like that, just need something to replace Ulysses shock with, while original is out for rebuild, so I can move it around and not have bike stuck on stands.

    My new ride

    After joining months ago I find today that having no posts I cannot even view my own profile, time to get a little involved i guess. So, last bike was a 2010 HD XR1200, new bike is 2008 Ulysses XB12XT. XR1200 left me with just over 134,000km, been to top of Pikes Peak, Banff Alberta most every...
