took my laptop in the garage, loaded vids, did the job - no problems!

Did the same as wally - made the oil change super easy.

Thanks [up]

 

[kelly]

[fakameanrepresent]

all these videos are very helpful.

 

[dave_xb12r]

Thanks guys!

I think brake bleeding is next.

Suggestions for future videos are always welcome!

 

[fakameanrepresent]

dave, please do fork oil change how to.

 

[wally]

[up] on the fork oil!

and easy exhaust header removal
maybe also belt changes and proper tensioning?

oh yes, and thanx!

 

[fakameanrepresent]

i agree with all those headers, belt changes, etc. however, i believe that fork oil change on the buell would be much more easy and helpful for us bueller.

 

[wally]

agreed, but while he is busy...

Thanks Dave....I found your video originally doing a YouTube search for changing the oil/filter on my XB12R and your tutorial was perfect. Much appreciated!

The TPS reset was a great help, made things really easy. Plans for a drive belt change, or did I miss one already?

Where can I pick up a Torque wrench? What exactly is the difference?

Awesome job on the vids!! Thanks. Actually inspired me to make one of my own not as good as yours of course, but here I am in your fashion, (hope you don't mind) w/ my simple headlight mod (XB9SX) that I learned from this site. http://youtu.be/z01Gvsj5oPw

Where can I pick up a Torque wrench? What exactly is the difference?

You can get a inexpensive torque wrench at Harbor Freight. A torque wrench doesn't let you tighten the bolt past the limit that you set it to. Let's say your specific bolt should be torqued to 80ft-lbs. You set your torque wrench to that 80ft-lbs, and when you get there, it will just click(or beep).


Nice vid Evo, good job! Post a thread for it so it will be easy to find.

 

[kelly]

ah dang heheh, i looked under my posts adn sen your name in your thread and got all excited thinkin you did another one for us mere mortals lol.

btw if you plan on doing a fork oil change vid is there any chance you can do a fork seal video as well along with rebound and compression settnig

 

[dave_xb12r]

Haha.. sorry to let you down kelly. Yes, my fork video will cover oil and seals.

I might be able to shoot a compression and rebound setting video this weekend.

 

[fakameanrepresent]

so fork oil change video is what i am expecting??????? if so, you are the man.

[dave_xb12r]
