What direction did you put the double lip seal? With the grooves in or out? They're not actually grooves in the seal but appear to have curved lines on one side of it and a lip facing out on the other side. Thanks.
I replaced the batteries and it is trying to move but I can turn it up all the way and it barely swings. I can hear the motor working so i guess it the board inside? What do you think.
If you ain't using a NIST traceable and calibrated torque wrench, then you are just guessing. I am only saying that because I calibrate for a living and just want more people pouring money into expensive torque wrenches and the calibration industry. Do I use torque wrenches on my own home cars? Nope. Hi Ian.
I think using a torque wrench with car wheels helped me understand the concept. Also f'ing up and stretching small bolts way past helped me understand. I'm sure you have a real feel for it now. I don't do it enough. I don't think I got close to the stretch point on these
My Buell called for blue loctite. Old school greybeards always told me to be sure to use red on sprockets just to avoid this. I'll never ride this bike far enough to wear out the sprocket though.
Wow what an interesting video. I just got a 20KW Kohler unit installed 3 months ago. How are the new units compared to the unit described in this video? Is the problem still a concern? Little concerned with reliability after seeing this.
Now admit it, did you torque those down using a NIST traceable torque wrench that was appropriate for the torque value you needed? And....wazzzup Ian, I haven't been the faithful subscriber I once was. Just accepted a 3- 5 year technical deployment to Korea...so been a busy camper.
Congratulations on the deployment! This is actually the second time they loosened up and I had to retap the holes and use time-serts. Prob not enough meet to do that again. I'll know more when I take it apart.
Nice to see your name again! I should, but gonna take a breather before looking at the old spoked wheel I have. I know I'll need to respoke it which is why I replaced with the Fatboy front wheel in the first place.
@@IanLandesman I have an older trans without the provision for a bearing support so with the longer late shovel main shaft it tends to flex and destroy the seal faster, and I like to ride it like stole it.
I didn't. I would flip breaker for working on anything attached to the house voltage. The 12V system should be entirely standalone as doesn't mix with 120V
Yes they should last close to 10x that. What was failure? Rock? Some wisdom in changing pulleys on these old bikes as corrosions and chips can wear a belt prematurely. I would rather change the belt, but that's an option for you.
@@1990-t1j maybe. Some people notch the stock tensioner, but a lot of respected repair guys say leave it stock so that's what I did. I hope it works for you. Let us know!
What model do you have? there is an earlier and later style - I'm showing the early version here, but a lot of things on my particular year bike are halfway marks and even some parts are special to only this year.
I only ride it about once a month, but no puddles on the floor anymore and I keep checking the trans fluid for top up and not needing to add any like I use to.
HELLO BUDY, HOW ARE YOU? DO YOU AUTHORIZE ME TO USE A STRETCH OF YOUR VIDEO IN THE EDITION CURIOUS FACTS ON THE TRAFFIC? I WILL LEAVE ALL CREDITS IN THE DESCRIPTION, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.
Sup' Rider, Hope all is well? Am I allowed to use your video for a short compilation im working hard on? You will be fully credited with watermark on the video.
