    Can anyone help diagnose?

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. After 3 weeks of research, testing, trial and error, it turns there were two issues. Chicknstripn was correct, the bike was overheating. I didn't know how to set the static timing with the '08 flywheel after the rebuild, because there is no timing mark. I...

    Can anyone help diagnose?

    i bought the parts from Hammer performance. I was under the impression that i had to update the 08 stator with the new crankshaft. I ddn't know it was inferior to the 05. i did install the 08 regulator at the same time, and I am now thinking that there might be something wrong with the...

    Can anyone help diagnose?

    The cooling fan was working right before all of this happened. The last few rides have been so short, that it didn't need to come on. However, I am not ruling out overheating as of yet. I figured out that I measured the output from the stator with the wrong setting on the multimeter. Stator...

    Can anyone help diagnose?

    I disconnected the stator from the regulator, and checked the resistance on the leads (there are only two on the '08 version). Resistance is .6, which i believe is normal range. Stator doesn't appear to be grounded. I turned on the bike, and was expecting to read 14+ volts coming from the...

    Can anyone help diagnose?

    Bike is a 2005 XB12Scg with 34k miles. Was rebuilt less than a year ago with a 2008 flywheel and connecting rods, and a 2008 stator. Had to splice the stator wire harness because the pins on the 2008 are not the same as the 2005. The other mods are the Jardine exhaust and K&N fuilter. I have...

    Connecting rod rattle

    UMDterp13, I'm in Glen Burnie. I have $1,200 in parts that should be here in a day or two from Hammer Performance. I am upgrading to the newer flywheel and rods with the 1.5" crankpin, so it's too late for an engine replacement. Where is your buddy in VA? I am in northern VA quite a bit for...

    Connecting rod rattle

    I hit a bit of a snag. I was measuring the outer race for a new pinion bearing and found that it was beyond the wear limit. I am measuring 1.5750, and manual says that anything beyond 1.5672 needs to be replaced. I ordered a new race, but can't find a shop to do the installation and lapping...

    08 XB12 Pistons, stock or aftermarket?

    Dellinger, I am in the process of rebuilding my XB12SCG due to a worn front connecting rod, and I've been talking to Dan at Hammer Performance a bit to see what upgrades make sense. Hammer has a 1250 big bore kit with the pistons and cylinders for around $600. Those pistons are lighter and...

    Connecting rod rattle

    Thanks to everyone for this awesome forum. Been reading here for almost three years, and it has been extremely helpful. Now I finally have something to post. I ride a 2005 XB12SCG Lightning. Love it. I am the second owner, and have put almost 20k miles on it (35k total miles). Two months...
