    TAKING TO THE DEALER UNLESS I HAVE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE!

    Yea, I hate to take away options. But I went there when California Harley messed up my stator install. Got towed to Glendale. Spoke with shop manager and was ready to leave the bike to have fixed. But he answered a call while talking to me and kept chatting with a buddy about mods he had...

    Random CEL/running lean

    I don't disagree, I overfilled my oil once. And it fouled the O2 sensor, but the bike was trying to correct the problem without throwing a code for the O2 sensor and it took me a minute of switch parts to realize what it was, that and the fact the sensor is hard to get to. But now I can get to...

    Random CEL/running lean

    My CEL was randomly coming on and she would sputter a bit and then come back. I check for codes and there were none, but I forgot you need to select the "read codes" for it to display in the "historic" section. I had a new injector that was a dud...installed my old one and no issues. Cheers!

    Let's talk levers

    I really like CRG and they are a good group located here in CA, just a bit up the road near San Jose. But they have always been great and the levers on my bike work like a charm and the quality is there. You can buy any assortment of levers from their regular site, but they do have a...

    Actual Mechanic Eyes Needed.

    I finally got a code. #23 It's for the front injector. I did replace the injectors and now it states the code #23. So I am checking my wires and will replace the injector to the old to test. My initial start is great and the ride continues well. But as soon as I start the bike from a cold...

    Actual Mechanic Eyes Needed.

    I replaced my o2 sensor and it had a nick in it, which could have grounded out and the o2 sensor end was covered in white. Which is, from what I found on the internet is referred to as "Silicone Poisoning", another form of fouling. Possibly when I used WD40 to clean headers, as WD40 contains...

    Actual Mechanic Eyes Needed.

    I did perform another TPS reset with the new unit. The bike was off and I did not turn it over, didnt have time to dig into it. The weather was mid 70s and the bike was under a carport.

    Actual Mechanic Eyes Needed.

    05 Buell XB12Scg (race ecm, jardine, breather reroute, K&N) I am not a mechanic, while I have learned a great deal about my bike, I would be lying in stating I'm a mechanic. Just decent with a wrench. I just overcame some issues with installing a new fuel pump and thought I was in the clear...

    DIY Fuel pump fix. Cheaper than replacement from HD

    Actually, either will work. I had an issue with the fuel regular. The new O-rings were slightly bigger than the older ones (I have an older fuel pump setup) and they ended up binding and not allowing a seal. But now I have a few extra fuel pumps. :) But I have the HFP installed. Caltric...

    !!Front isolator bolt!!

    Also, try raising and lowering the bike if you can. Maybe the alignment is off and making it difficult to break loose.

    Small o rings on top of fuel pump?

    If you are referring to the ones (3x) that go above the plastic insert and fits in the fuel regulator housing. You can go to your local auto parts store or harbor freight and buy a nitrile o-ring assortment kit. The only ones you need to buy from HD or ASB are the 2 large O-rings that fit at...

    New Fuel Pump/Injectors, but won't stay on.

    Short Story Long. I found my issue and bike is up and running. It wasn't the pump, it wasn't the fuel regulator. It was the O-rings that came with the new fuel regulator. I have a 2005 XB12Scg, and I have the older fuel pump. As I went to disassemble the fuel regulator from the housing and...

    New Fuel Pump/Injectors, but won't stay on.

    And my problems continue. New pump installed and same issue. No Pressure. So now I am going to try and replace the fuel regulator, but since no one in Cali has one local (purchased new one from ASB) and re-ordering would take a few days if in stock, I'm going to put the old one back in to...

    New Fuel Pump/Injectors, but won't stay on.

    Ok, finally got my adapter for bike to do the fuel pressure test. Long story short, didn't need a full kit for $$, so I found the adapter and rented the fuel pressure test kit from O'reilly's. The manual states that the bike should be at 49-51 psi. Even though she won't stay on, I can still...

    Jardine fell apart

    Keep an eye on ebay. I found a Jardine muffler from a CBR, which is similar in every way except the exhaust tip. Found it for $99 bucks. I hit a big pothole while in Denver and it ripped the rivets and stretched out the springs. I enjoy my Jardine, no major issues. I repacked once thus far...

    New Fuel Pump/Injectors, but won't stay on.

    I made sure to get the correct wire on the right connector. I took some pictures and from what I have, the wire (yellow/orange stripe) goes on the negative and the solid grey wire goes on the positive. The shorter wire is for the fuel level sensor. That is what is was on the original fuel...

    New Fuel Pump/Injectors, but won't stay on.

    I can hear the pump prime when the kill switch is turned on. Pump is louder than my old one. I checked my fuses and everything seems to be in order. When I replaced the pump, none of the other wires looked frayed. Only the fuel level sensor was broken from corrosion. The bike ran before I...
