Author Message   G234146 Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 07:33 pm:        And Bad Webbers! I got down and dirty and did my first official oil change on my XB. It was easier than I expected. A round of thanks to all of the knowledge, pics, and sound advice from y'all. PIC: Note the thirst quencher to the right Now I'm wonderin how hard it would be to do the transmission oil...   Cyclonemduece Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 07:35 pm:        if it is the same overall as the tubers then it is a cake walk, do you have a service manual? its the buell bible as far as i am concerned   G234146 Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 07:45 pm:        Cyclone - I got the service manual. I'm not much of a mechanic but this was really straightforward.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 07:48 pm:        DON'T USE THE MANUAL TORQUE SPECS! THEY ARE WRONG!   G234146 Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 07:59 pm:        No worries Fat - I just used blue loctite and wrenched it by hand. took it out for a long spin. so far so good.   Wile_ecoyote Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 08:33 pm:        Takes about oh, 3 tasty beverages. LOL Good on you!   Guell Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 09:06 pm:        is that the blue moon Belgian white? good stuff!!   New12r Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 10:43 pm:        The Blue Moon sesonal pumpkin brew is out right now and that is some tasty stuff!! Good job on the oil change, All my bolts are Good N Tight on the bike with the exception of major engine components.   Bads1 Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 10:45 pm:        Next time you drink a Blue Moon.... Drink it with a slice of Orange in it.   Glitch Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 08:32 am:        Now I'm wonderin how hard it would be to do the transmission oil... It's even easier, so I'm sure you'll have no problem.   Mikej Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 08:36 am:        A bike, an oil absorbant box, a couple of tools scattered around, bottle of beverage, and a noose hanging in the foreground. You're going to be just fine with this stuff. (Can't believe nobody mentioned the noose)   Loucksgl Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 08:45 am:        Ft Bstrd: I concur with the statement "don't follow the torque specs". Wonder how many more swing arms will need to be replaced till the manuals are corrected? Does anyone know of any other torques that are incorrect in the manuals?   Djkaplan Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 01:24 pm:        Transmission oil is a one beer job too... Thanks... I've been looking for a reason to use that smilie for awhile.   G234146 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 02:06 pm:        Guell - That is the Blue Moon Belguim White. It is most delicious!!! Bads - Havent tried it w/ orange, but I've heard its a great combo. Glitch - Allright! that'll be my next project Mike - Thats the cord for some outdoor blinds. Though if I would have messed somethin up would have used them CHEERS (me likes da smileys})
