I was just curious if anyone else has encountered this and how did you remedy it. Breathers, catch can, etc? No oil consumption or performance issues more of...
I used one of the Spyke (sp?) breather valves and routed the hose to the ground. Only if the bike has been sitting do I get any oil coming out of it, and it...
Yup, me too. I was using enough to have to add oil 2 times between oil changes. I had the dealer change the umbrella valves under warranty. Just got done and...
Hey guys, Just got my 12K service done on the bolt. The sensor unit for the Speedo was at fault and was replaced under warranty. I asked the guys to have a...
Help, I read about the oil plug but i didn't leak any oil. I just had my umbrella valves replaced because i was sucking too much oil into my breather box and...
First thing I'd do is check the oil level when hot to make sure it is below the max line. If you fill to the max while the engine is cold you'll blow out the...
Thanks for answering. What I thought I was saying when I said I read all the other posting was...When I found the plug out the oil was ok and hot. The dealer...
... I'm not sure what everyone else is doing, but I work at a dealer here in the US. I looked up the pads yesterday, the fronts retail for $58 the rears ...
If your oil pressure light came on then you definitely have a problem that needs to be fixed immediately. Umbrella valves probably wouldn't do it; I'm ...
wow...see what happens when I go away to try to set up a new apartment? I'll break the quiet here by asking if anybody has a parts manual for a 2001 S3 (or...
I think it's a standard bolt. I have one here in my hand, (<pause> well, now I do...). It looks like a standard coarse thread, grade 8 bolt. Approx 4 3/4"...
I am curious about what the best gasoline I can put in my 2003 XB9-S w/ race kit would be. I have heard that Chevron had the most detergents and that was what...
Wolf, If you are talking about the main pivot bolt, the one that goes through the shifter arm itself, my 2002 parts manual says: P/N AA0538.1CZ BOLT, 5/16-18...
Chevron is good; Shell is bad. 76 is in the middle along with most everything else. No need for boosters with a stock engine. Jim ... From: Bryan Kemp...
Don't forget the ASBN meeting tonight....Gordon Buhle will be speaking on the S-2, Choptop on Vintage bikes, and there is a rumor that the umbrella girls may...
Hi I just installed a Mikuni 42 HSR and the 44 mm intake manifold on my 2000 M2 with race ignition module, Whites E-series exhaust, Forcewinder intake. Sucker ...
... Wolf, glad to see you're alive and well. Read about your Dudley Perkins probs on ASBN. I have a bolt bucket you are welcome to paw through to see if...
... thanks, REX Sign is done, as is the card. I'll bring it tonight. You'll need to pin JimA down about the website. I did the preliminary designs and turned...
Hey all, The engine light turned out to be a fried voltage regulator. It aslo explained why i had to jump start it the next day. Thanks all anyway. ... popped ...
Fred and Rex, I'm ready to do some more work on the ASBN website. Fred, if you could send me a banner as a jpg, I can plug it in and we can see how it looks. ...
Hi Anyone experienced the pushrods leaking oil at the top of the engine ? Not sussed if it is the pushrod or it just appears to be running down the pushrod...
Haven't had it happen on the Buell, but have fixed it on a couple of Harleys. There is an o-ring on the top of the tube -- from the factory it will never leak,...
just to clarify: jim's message is appropriate for leaks at the top edge of the pushrod tube (where it enters the rocker box). if the oil is originating at that...
I agree -- I'm thinking this is a rocker box leak as I haven't seen a pushrod tube leak on a stock bike yet. I have fixed a few on strokers that people screw...
