Don't you recall the Dr Greg special? That was his first book written on the BadWeB. A very well written 'how to' that led to his first sequel.

The service manual has great instructions for engine removal.

Anyone use the manual for rotation?

Cool, I'm diagnosed ADD, got the little blue pills for grad school, I'll have to check jim's out if I need to do the procedure.

Either way, the XB manual is one of the best I've ever used for most procedures. Good on ya' Buell.

When the search function goes down, as it sometimes does, try using the Google BadWeB link. Here're what I found...

http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/411987.html?1226521886

2nd link is is to the somewhat legendary Dr_greg writeup Etennuly's talking about (lesson: never unseat the bottom jug unless you want to replace the base gasket).

There are so often little "crap! I wish I would have known that" things, that the experience of fellow BadWeBers bring to light, that are not in the book. I feel blessed to have this benefit of being here.

I generally use the SM and advice from here to make the job go smoother, quicker, easier, and cheaper.

Mark, you should be ashamed for breaking that new toy this soon! You may have to spend some time in the corner without lunch!

I used the manual the first time, and it's good, but if you remove the cover on the right side and unhook the fuel injectors from there, you have less risk of breaking the connections. Manual, IMHO is a bit out of order there.

You'll need the manual, but it lists steps that aren't necessary. You DON'T need to disconnect the oil cooler lines, just unbolt the mount. You DON'T need disconnect the regulator wiring (kind of a PITA) just unbolt the entire assembly.

You don't have to remove the rubber velocity stack either depending on what you're trying to do, and its a major PITA to get back on!

Inspect, clean & seal electrical connections while engine's rotated; they're more accessible.
