View Full Version : I'm waiting for my manual, but I have a question... alabamakid 16th December 2007, 21:02 I pulled the gas tank off and saw that the rear head/cylinder comes out with ease. The front looks a little more snug. Will the front head and cylinder come off with the motor still in the frame? That would be a HUGE time and headache saver... cjburr 16th December 2007, 21:35 might get an answer if we knew what year and model Buell you have. alabamakid 17th December 2007, 05:50 sorry.. 01 X-1 Lightning it looks like the head will come off and slide out the side of the bike....then the cylinder might come up through the smaller opening... alabamakid 21st December 2007, 21:59 seriously...no one knows, before I tear into this thing over the holidays? cantolina 21st December 2007, 23:40 I pulled the gas tank off and saw that the rear head/cylinder comes out with ease.

I'm REALLY not familiar with Buells, but if you can't do a top-end in the frame, something is seriously wrong with SOMEONE'S head at the MOCO... steelworker 22nd December 2007, 20:00 Yes, the front head and cylinder will come off with the engine on the frame. The top rocker cover is a little fiddly to get out and in again, and a couple of the screws holding it in are fiddly. Also, you'll need to prop the engine before you can remove the front motor mount that's bolted to the front head. It's a little awkward, but it's easier than taking the whole engine out of the frame!:) |
