Author Message   Snowbees Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 06:00 am:        i am cleaning out all the oil ways/tank on my x1 due to an oil pump gear/crank failure is it possible to completely strip the lifters to make sure there are no metal bits in there ?, no mention of it in the manual.   Rick_a Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 11:21 am:        Yes. There is a single circlip on top. Keep a hand over it so pieces don't go flying. Check the body and piston for scoring, pitting, or chipped chrome. If they have more than 15-20,000 miles I'd just replace them.   Snowbees Posted on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 - 12:44 am:        Thanks Rick_a, i will take a look later and give them a good clean. Next question, do you know the part numbers just in case i need to replace them ? (I'll have to get a parts manual !!) I think a parts list can be found in one of the pdf files on the fuell pages of buell.com but i cant find it without downloading all the pdf files. my slow internet connection prevents it.   Jramsey Posted on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 - 04:17 am:        18538-99A Lifter.   Snowbees Posted on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - 05:09 am:        thanks Jramsey, have you got the part number for the locating pin/bolt with the allen head. thanks guys.   Jramsey Posted on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - 08:59 am:        Anti rotation screw 18532-00   Snowbees Posted on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - 10:37 am:        Many thanks, again   Sloppy Posted on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - 11:35 am:        Any thoughts on aftermarket lifters like Jim's Hyrdosolids?   Snowbees Posted on Thursday, November 19, 2009 - 03:42 am:        aftermarket lifters, what are the benefits ? i am already spending too much on the x1, at $12 each i will stick with oem lifters for now and maybe upgrade to aftermarket ones in the future
