"What smells burnt?" stator! | ||
| Whisperstealth |
BUMMER! sorry to hear that. | ||
| Crusty |
What kind of oil have you been using in the primary? | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
I've had AMSOIL in it almost from day one. Bike has over 51,000 miles on it. I should have had her take a wiff before I bought the Voltage Regulator. My nose didn't pick up the stink until I pulled the primary cover off. I have all the fix'ns sitting on the work bench. 9 primary is going in since its apart. | ||

Glad you finally nailed down the problem. Fix that critter and ride it!  Nine primary eh? Probably a good idea. I will be well enough to be back on mine this weekend I hope. Sure hate coughing and sneezing chunks into my helmet!  | ||

Let us know how the primary switch goes. Three things in my Uly's future. 9 Primary. Erik Buell Racing Race ECM. Black Tall seat. Good Luck! | ||

now... I took it for a ride last night and all was well. went to get on it this morning to ride to work..... NOTHING The starter button is going bad or I have a grounding problem..... again I swung the handlebar real hard against the stop and it started. Shut it off. Hit the starter... nothing. Had to ride the TT to work again. | ||
| Mnrider |
Thanks for the pics.Was burnt eh. Dang wiring problems! | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
toasty.... From the short ride I took last night.. I think I am going to like the 9 primary drive. The bike also seemed to run smoother, so maybe the lack of juice from the stator was causing some other problems. Local dealer has the switch housing in stock so I will be picking it up at lunch time today | ||
| Mnrider |
Some on here have had the elec. part of the ign. switch cause a problem like that also. Try moving the key back and forth. When ever I sand the connection between the main frame and the seat rail my bike cranks faster,there is a t.s.b. about it. | ||

Wolfy; Forgive my ignorance but, what exactly is the 9 primary going to do? | ||
| Badrap |
Snub13, It lowers the gearing. | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
can you say.... WHEELIE!!! I'll let ya ride it the next time we meet. | ||
| Froggy |
Stock gearing wheelies just fine  | ||
| Snub13 |
Well hell, that's just what i need!!!LOL Did you see the way we were loaded down? I could barely keep the front end on the ground as it was! So you're sayin' this is kinda like changing the final drive sprockets / pulleys? and If my reasoning is correct, since we (with a belt) can't just go out and buy a longer belt (like you can with a chain) this is easier / cheaper / faster than changing the final drive. Am I on the right path? | ||
| Badrap |
Yes $193.10 for primary kit from american sport bike. http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/A17150.html | ||

Well it only took a little coaching! Man, I really need to work on my engine internal knowledge! Those buffoons on those chopper shows can do it... | ||
| Froggy |
I haven't done all the geometry math and stuff, but you could in theory put a 1125CR sprocket on it and a longer belt. | ||
| Snub13 |
Maybe some taller gearing would be better for us , at least when we're set up for camping.... This is my cheap way to turn the Uly into more of a wheelie machine   | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
well, the local dealer had the switch housing in stock. Plugged it in and ba da bing!! it fired right up. Took if for a short shake down run and and put it on the tender when I got back....GREEN light! WOOO HOOO all fixed! I'll be heading to the Hocking Hills/Nelsonville OH to teach a MSF class at the local college this weekend... great ride there, great ride back! | ||

Wolf...the XB9 gearing is where the "smooth" is coming from. Love it. Rode to MT and back to WA with it. No issues. 75 mph is 4K rpm. Fine with me. Love the low gear...idleing away from the stoplights. Euly | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
So.. I went to Nelsonville Ohio today. About a 165 mile round trip. The fuell light came on at the 140 mile mark. So.... I am doing the same trip again tomorrow and I will see if it comes on at 140 again. I just topped the bike off to the bottom of the filler neck. I not 100% sure it was totally full for todays trip. It is back to charging like it should. I plugged it into the tender when I got home and the green light was on within 5 minutes. I was hunting for another gear.... just say'n | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
... I also spent last night trying to find a short under the dash. The auxiliary plug kept loosing power... gps on, gps off, gps on, gps off... over and over and over.... a while back I added LED marker light to the hand guards so I thought for sure that was the problem. I cut all the wires, and hooked auxiliary plug back up the way it was... no dice! I messed with if for about a hour, got pissed and just ran another ground to the frame... and... all is better now.... kinda bummed I cut out all the plugs for the lights. I had them set up so It would be easy to remove them... now it will be even easier... just unscrew the big wire nut | ||

Mark, Where did you get the XB9 engine sprocket? It looks different from the one pictured on American SportBike in that the sprocket looks like its lighter, (less rotational mass). I'm looking to do the XB9 sprocket change too. --Michael | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
I ordered it from my local dealer. today the fuell light came on at 159 |
