JB4XX Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I'm looking over the manual in preps for engine removal. Any hints from those few who have done this? The manual lists a 32mm Lock nut wrench needed. Did you need the Honda tool or did a 32 mm socket work? It also lists removal of carbs and slave cylinder, is there any other tips to make this go smooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrdman Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Tell them the truth Josh........... The fat redneck broke it by simply sitting on it. Maybe you should have Louie take a look at it. If I remember correctly, he made the very same repair on a another Bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should have Louie take a look at it. If I remember correctly, he made the very same repair on a another Bird. I'll paint it yellow so no one can tell it was ever down. Might try to throw sparks off the centerstand since it is all ready "reshaped". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02XXCA Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Wow, I'm surpirsed it broke clean off on both sides. That really shatters my confidence in this POS XX.

Pete in PA Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Did I say ? I can't believe doing the sit on centerstand thing did that. I wonder if there was something else going on and that just took it the rest of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearXX Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I'm big. 270 pounds, and always sit on the bike when i take it of the center stand. And this is my 7'th season on the 'bird. But I have to inform that I'm trying to get down to 180 pounds. There has to be another reason that one broke off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said "I tried putting the center stand down while sitting on it" Have never even thought about getting the bike on the senterstand when sitting on it. Got confused. :icon_shifty: :icon_shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartonmd Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Did I say ? I can't believe doing the sit on centerstand thing did that. I wonder if there was something else going on and that just took it the rest of the way. I think this may be correct... To get correct ride height with the spring all the way preloaded and him sitting on the bike, he's got the thing shimmed like 12mm or something, so I'm sure it bottoms out regularly over large bumps in corners (bottoming is REALLY hard on hard parts, because they have to either bend or break to take up the stress and absorb the energy to stop the weight), and that piece is also what the shock linkage mounts to...

JB4XX Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Enuf of the fat jokes... :icon_nono: Any of you comedians ever remove the engine on your XX? I'm just going to start taking it apart, taking lots of pictures and bagging items for later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sykotek-xx Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Note to self: Never ever ever use Nik's method again. Josh, that sux, hope you get it back together right. I would just follow the service manual, read through the entire procedure at least once and understand it before picking up tools. And yeah, pictures and baggies. And Labels.
