Project 2004 XB9S

[Carsten]

Hi, my name is Carsten, from Auckland, New Zealand
and I have just bought myself a bit of a project,

04 XB9S with 13,961km on the clock

it's a non-runner at this stage. has a fuel issue which i suspect is the fuel pump,
but I wont know for sure till its delivered (starts and runs with squirt of gas down the intake)
it's missing a few bits, nothing major, just needs a TLC

I've already started buying parts that i can see are missing,

just finding i hard to decide what colour it will be when its done

Nice! Have fun with your project. Just a FYI that is a 9SL, its the low model.

great! how can you tell that? from the seat?... suits me fine, not being the tallest guy in the world

I can tell by the forks and the rear shock color. The 4th and 5th digit in you vin will be WX which denotes that it is a low model.

Correct , 9bolt knows his bikes. ^^^^^^^

Almost done, needs the headlight changed for a stock unit so I can register it to for road use here in NZ.
but I took her for a short 40km ride on a private roads today,

That is a stock headlight.
Did you get it running and if so, what was the problem ?

 

[Cooter]

Since you said you were from New Zealand, I can't HELP but to read all your posts in a Kiwi accent

Bike looks great! Is the registration process hard over there?

Nice Job!!

it's actually a pair of flood lights set up to look stock. sadly no beam pattern so aren't legal/fit for use on NZ roads.

had two real issues. bad fuel pump and stuck closed injectors

and a few missing bits

haven't had to do the compliance for a vehicle here yet.
but it seams simple enough ... basically just checking the bike isn't stolen and is road worthy and a bit of cash for the government
