Guessing not good

[Shawns]

Changing the oil and look what I found

 

[dflack001]

Was that in the primary?

 

[Theycallmecrash]

1125.... Primary not technically there

 

[Negative]

Is that ....... metal? ... or some peeled off RTV maybe?

 

[Shawns]

Nope it's metal.

 

[XLXB]

I'm sure its nothing... It looks like it was extra metal for that one thing. Not important, it should run better now that it's lighter.

but really HOLLY POOP, (i said poop)

 

[Shawns]

Yeah I'm going to take it to a local shop that has an ex buell race mechanic. I'm guessing its not gonna be cheap.

 

[mrlogix]

can you tell if it's cast aluminum or billet steel?

 

[Cosworth]

Just realized this was in the 1125 forum.... ignore my statement. [sad]

 

[bwylie_99]

Eh, I found similar stuff in my cr. That was thousands of miles ago. Still runs great

 

[Shawns]

I'm guessing steel since it was stuck to the magnet of the drain plug. I would rather be safe than sorry. Going to have to put some purchases on hold till I know for sure. If the big bore kit wasn't so expensive I would go that route if it had to be broken down.

 

[bwylie_99]

Any updates? I'm pretty curious here.....

 

[Shawns]

Hopefully I'll hear something today or tomorrow. I was told since it's not making any new noises I shouldn't be that worried. I always expect the worse.

Almost looks like the clutch ramp from an XB... Hope the clutch ramp on the CR looks different.

 

[Cosworth]

Clutch is hydraulically actuated so no ramp like the xb, I thought the same thing till I realized this thread was in the 1125 forum.

 

[Macbuell]

I might be mistaken- using only my logic instead of looking for the answer somewhere.

Hydraulic clutch doesn't mean there is no ramp. Just means there is no mechanical cable connecting lever to assembly. The clutch inner workings remain mainly the same (although I have not been inside my cr yet). Clutch still needs to put pressure on something other than the engine in order to disengage. People have converted the xb clutch to hydro I believe... still has and uses the ramp I am sure since I don't know how it wouldn't.

 

[bwylie_99]

I had very similar parts in my strainer as well and for some reason I'm pretty sure it's part of the starter gears.....I'm probably wrong. ...

 

[Cosworth]

The clutch in a XB using a spinning ramp, therefore switching to a hydraulic setup on a xb only replaces the cable with a slave cylinder that fulfills the pulling action that the cable used to. The action on a XB is also back to front inline with the bike. The 1125 cluch is hydraulic and uses a sleeve/cylinder that actuates the cluch instead of a ramp setup. This action also takes place from left to right perpendicular to the bike.

Therefore no it does not have a ramp like the XB does.

They are going to try and get to it after the weekend so looks like i'm going to have to wait till Wed.[mad]

 

[bwylie_99]

Do let us know please, hope you're still having a great weekend
