    '03 XB9R in Virginia Beach, $3000

    Here's my craigslist ad. It's been up for a month and I'm tired of emailing people back with "No, I don't want to trade for your Eclipse and some DJ equipment". GRRR! Anyway, Last year the tranny ran low on oil and a shift fork failed. I split the cases, installed a new gearset and all...

    CALIFORNIA RIDERS ... sell the XB9R here or there?

    I think I'll highball on the trading post for $4100 and see what happens here in VA. Then it's craigslist. (Rich dad browses the local trading post magazine while his penniless stoner son browses craigslist and emails me with dumb questions.)

    CALIFORNIA RIDERS ... sell the XB9R here or there?

    Can I get a better price selling my '03 XB9R in California than Virginia? Seven weeks from now, the wife and i move from Virginia Beach to Vandenberg AFB, California. The Air Force will ship all our stuff, including motorcycles, for free. Dad's gifting me his '81 Honda CB900C that he doesn't...

    Helmet suggestions?

    From what I've seen shopping around, I'm gonna take that ass's advice and double my estimate to $200. That gives me a lot more options and better quality. I stopped by the local cycle world and tried on a bunch of Scorpion but even the 2XL was tight on my huge melon. The ICON Alliance was...

    Helmet suggestions?

    Time to replace the 'ol brain bucket. Full-face, price $100 or less. What do you suggest?

    just about done.... but no oil pressure?

    Nevermind. It ran all clackety-clack for like 10 seconds then smoothed out, light gone. More to the point: SHE LIVES!

    just about done.... but no oil pressure?

    Maybe I'll just fire it up and see if it goes away.

    just about done.... but no oil pressure?

    I filled the filter and swingarm with 2.5Q of Royal Purple. (had the engine completely torn down, don't wanna start it up dry) I just cranked it for like 20 seconds with the spark plugs out and the oil light never went off. What gives? BTW, the check engine light (V) isn't on. All...

    What's this?

    Yeeeeup, it's certainly the doohickey disk. Now I've gotta tighten the muffler bearings and make sure the rotary girder is within spec! :D:D

    What's this?

    I think it's the thrust washer that's inside the primary behind the clutch basket. Yeah? As my username suggests, this will probably be the first of many posts. HA! ,

    03 XB9R, gears don't line up? video diag

    WIN WIN WIN! VICTORY! Plus a bonus question at the end! Headphone users beware: smacked the camera a few times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlJ3qtYdVsE&feature=youtu.be

    03 XB9R, gears don't line up? video diag

    are you 100% you have the main shaft all the way in - Hm, I THINK so. It bottoms out in the press. I'm going back to the shop to install the old gear set, completely, and see if the problem is still there. BRB

    03 XB9R, gears don't line up? video diag

    The new gearset was advertised as 2003 XB9 with 14K miles, but who knows? it's obviously different. Yes, there is one gear on the countershaft that is very blued and scratched up, and on the mainshaft the sliding gear is also blued and some fork remains are wiped in the track. The shift forks...

    03 XB9R, gears don't line up? video diag

    What do you think? It could be an incorrect gear set or I'm missing something simple. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pkLCweNoKQ&feature=youtu.be

    2003 XB9R tranny questions

    My gears aren't lined up right and I can't make sense of things right now. I'm missing something. As a result, I don't want to sell off any parts that I may need later in case I F$&@# it all up. I'll let you know.

    2003 XB9R tranny questions

    Dude, you and I are neck-and-neck doing the same job. (tranny ran low on oil and gears locked up). I got really lucky and found a whole used 03 XB9R tranny on buellsterparts.com for $175 and scooped it up. Complete engine gasket set on sporttwin.com for $120ish. I may have two shift forks...

    Need tranny and gaskets for '03 XB9R

    She locked up HARD at 35mph. I don't know if the other gears and shafts are compromised and don't want to find out the hard way considering the complete tear-down. I ordered that used transmission this morning.

    Need tranny and gaskets for '03 XB9R

    I just split the cases yesterday. The primary ran low on oil, the gears overheated, one of the shift forks turned to butter and failed to drag its gear from 1st to 2nd, and the tranny stopped (two competing gear ratios). Two of the gears are badly discolored and there are a few bent teeth...
