Workshop Timelapse | Buell XB12 - Will It Run?
Рет қаралды 45,330
Жыл бұрынWelcome!
In this video, we get a Hot-Rodded Buell XB12 back to running condition. This bike has a full Hammer Performance 1250 engine build with Headwork and 560 Cams. The motor only had 10 or so miles on it when I began the work, so unfortunately we couldn't take it on a proper ride to do the bike some justice.
This bike is going to be coming back after it's broken in for a Road Tune, and we'll also be installing larger injectors as it's out of injector. If you have a Buell XB or Buell Tuber, drop us a line on our website if you'd like a quote on getting some work done!

Nice video. Been restoring an xb12xt I bought last year and it’s been a roller coaster. Once something is fixed , something else was wrong. But I finally got it to run kind of smooth. I’m using the rev-mo exhaust and the map that came with it. Wondering if you can share me your fuel map to try it out. Thanks
@DoctorMotorcycle 10 ай бұрын
Thanks, yeah that's how it usually goes. I this bike has a built high compression motor with headwork/cams, the fuel map would be way off for your bike.

St Paul Harley does not carry that adapter that looks like the throttle body zirk type connector or whatever you call it that plugs into the fuel line. According to 34nineteen on the Buell XB forum it is Part No. B-45522 which st paul does not carry. Could you please tell me where i could get one. If I had a latthe, I would make one myself.

@@ibrahimharizi8781 Check the basics. Put the bike in neutral, manually jump the starter solenoid with a +12V wire, see if the starter spins. If it does, start working your way backwards. Is the killswitch operational? Is the Starter button supplying power to the solenoid? If so, it might be the starter relay. Download a service manual and follow the troubleshooting procedures, that's how I figured this out and that's how I find faults on all EFI bikes.

Wouldn't it be awesome if "real" doctors also knew what is causing patient's problem and how to fix it? Instead of prescribing pills? 👀 __ That was pretty amazing to watch. My fav bike, too. Was all that messing with the gearbox because of the one little tiny spring that fell out? 😍
@DoctorMotorcycle Жыл бұрын
Thanks, the spring fell out because the dowel pin that centered the shifter was broken off inside the case. I took care of that off camera. But yes, it all had to come apart for a relatively simple fix.

@DoctorMotorcycle Жыл бұрын
All separate issues that contributed to it not running, and it's a great example of what it's like to be a mechanic. You think you've discovered the issue, but there's still more wrong. Personally, I don't think a bike that won't continue to run after you hit the start button counts as running, but if you feel that it does....let's agree to disagree 👍
