Still trying to find a write up on that shaft

 

[squidbuellie]

order part
#34014-02a shift lever assembly
you will need to pull primary then you should be able to get to it if i remember correctly it.s a tight fit behind the clutch basket. if you can't roll it out from behind the flywheel you'll have to pull clutch basket and main motor sprocket with primary chain in order to get to it

 

[jakestolar]

Ohhh thank god! I thought I was going to have to do a minor tranny rebuild!

 

[jakestolar]

Is the PN 34014-06A ? That is one one I ordered from the dealer.

Do i need any other gaskets besides the one for the primary and the one that seals that shaft?

 

[jeepin79]

Not sure where you are but there is a complete fairing and stay on craigslist here in Chicago for $250. That included the stay, plastic fairing, lights and everything. Not sure if you need any of the other parts than the stay but it seemed like a pretty good deal for all that stuff.

 

[firefighter1c57]

Yea, I'd been looking at that for some time. I needed the stay and the headlight mounting plate... Thought about buying it and parting the rest but ended up just buying the stay from Buellster.

 

[squidbuellie]

honestly i would reuse the primary gasket and if the shaft seal is not ripped and still pliable.
and to save yourself some money you can buy a $3 plastic cutting board and cut it into a step to use as a wedge to remove the clutch basket

 

[squidbuellie]

oh yeah almost forgot.. but i noticed that the clutch cable is ground up. if its ground to the cable you will need to replace it too.

 

[Loki]

Is that all thats wrong with it? Did it get new plastics or are they scratched to hell? More pictures. And if you dont mind me asking, how much did you pick it up for?

 

[jakestolar]

Jeepin, Thanks for the heads up. I already bought the faring stay sadly..

Squid, Great Idea! The rash on the clutch cable isnt even through the plastic so that saves me a few bucks. But speaking of clutch cables anyone ever switch to hydraulic? I did already pick up the new gaskets. Just wanted to make sure that they were the only ones I would run into

Loki, Those are the only mechanical issues. Hopefully nothing else rears its ugly head once I fix her up. I dont have any new plastics. I am actually not worried about them at all. They dont bother me yet. I might see if I can repair and paint them a little later down the road. Unless I see a great deal on some used ones. I will post more pictures when I get a chance. But the current out look isnt until this summer. I am away on business. I picked it up for 4k. I think it is a pretty great deal. $500 in parts and I got myself and 09 Buell XB12R w/ 1500 miles for $4500

 

[jakestolar]

Back! Came home to loads of the parts I had ordered! So Excited I had to bring the bike inside because weather went south. Some pictures!

Bent handle bar

Does anyone know what fuse I am missing?

Had to sneak the bike in while the wife wasn't looking!

The shifter bolt. That was fun!

If anyone needs pictures of something in particular Let me know. I'll have quite a few things off the bike.
More pictures to follow!

 

[jakestolar]
