Author Message   Buellster42 Posted on Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 09:37 pm:        Can anyone direct me where to get information on how to remove the XB9 exhaust and tools needed. TIA William PS By the way I am interested in a D&D exhaust   Timbo Posted on Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 10:07 pm:        Hi William, Honestly TFM (the factory manual, NOT the fu*%ing manual) would be a good place to start. It is a valuable resorce that will pay for itself many times over if used. But basically you need to remove the lower cowling, loosen the rear axle (pinch bolt first) to put slack in the belt, remove the front belt guard, remove the idler pully and then the exhaust can itself. Tools, Rear stand, Allen wrench set, "axle remover" bolt thing, 27 torx (both found in your bikes tool kit), Socket set and open/box end wrench set. To put it back together you will need one other tool, but you didn't ask about that. Timbo   Buellster42 Posted on Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 01:46 am:        Where can I find the "axle remover"tool? Oh, I will be putting it back together. Thanks Timbo   Dynarider Posted on Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 02:56 am:        axle remover"tool? Should be in your tool kit. Kinda looks like a key for the locknuts for a custom car rim.   Timbo Posted on Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 11:50 am:        Ok William, The other tool ia a torque wrench. Idler pulley bolts= 33-35 ft/lbs Rear axle= 48-52 ft/lbs Rear axle pinch bolt= 40-45 ft/lbs Also, don't forget to put anti-seize on the axle ends (just the ends, you don't need it in the middle). Timbo   Timbo Posted on Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 11:53 am:        Just occured to me you probably will not be fully removing the axle. So skip the part about anti-seize. Unless you want to do that. I only do it when I have the rear wheel off though. Timbo   Apex1 Posted on Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 04:59 pm:        Wait a second. I know the manual says to remove the idler pulley, etc. therefore requiring the rear axle be loosened & all that. The fact of the matter is that you really don't need to remove the idler pulley in order to remove the exhaust. I used an extension to reach through one of the holes in the idler pulley to get at the two muffler clamps holding the rear of the muffler. For ease of future R&R, I replaced the clamps so that they can be reached from the left side of the bike. Hope this helps. Less tools, less work, more riding!   Buellster42 Posted on Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 06:09 pm:        Thanks for all the info, much appreciated   Apex1 Posted on Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 06:25 pm:        Not sure about re-installing the D&D? The idler pulley may need to be removed for that, as is the Race Kit.
