    I took it out and turned. It took about 200 ft lbs of force to get it to move, but it did... slowly. I'm not hearing any scraping, though. Cover still isn't coming off.

    He's right, I didn't think about that. I just looked it up, that snap ring holds in a metal plug that will expose the nut to turn crankshaft. Although, what would the difference be between turning that and turning the rear wheel in gear?
  3. just_some_dude
    I guess anything is possible at this point, but the wind looked good. One thing that comes to mind is the rotor nut that holds the rotor on. I torqued it so much there was a small part of it that was a bit sharp, like it was starting to strip. It was small and didn't think it would rub on anything. If anything it would likely break off if it did touch anything and would have been a tiny shaving of metal. The engine barely turned over the first time I tried to start it, I don't even know if it made a full revolution. Here are some of the rewind pics before install.

    Wouldn't the rear wheel in gear going in reverse do just the same?
  5. just_some_dude
    No bolts left in there... it has got to be wedged against something under the cover. Something is jacked up under there. The rear wheel won't turn in gear, the bike won't turn over, cover won't come off. Something is wrong under that cover.

    Just an update... I can't get the cover off. It is somehow stuck on there, so it is likely mechanical. I have pulled like crazy on it. Left a heat gun on it for about 15 mins, thing didn't budge. Tapped it with rubber hammer and cloth to protect from the strikes. Bike has never been run on this gasket, so shouldn't be an issue with gasket being old and stuck. So... Anyone in Columbus want to give me a rate on getting this thing off without destroying anything? It will not budge.

    Yeah, it is a lot. I used a 300 ft lbs torque wrench from HF, had to extend it to get it to click. It clicked. Stator rewind guy got back to me and said "Three phases are wound the same it really wouldn't matter in what order you put them." When I first started the bike with the original new battery the bike cranked. Then I just stopped. That batter took a crap, and the video above is with the brand new one. This is what Shorai said about the original battery I sent back: "FYI on the returned battery. The wire disconnected inside of the battery which could indicate a poor connection or possibly from excessive starting current. If the engine doesn't crank over easily with the new battery please inspect your bike for a poor ground, starter wire, worn starter or other issue that would be causing the engine demand excessive cranking current. Twins can be hard to start sometimes. If the engine hits TDC and stalls out(stops turning the engine over) release the starter button right away so it doesn't draw too much current. After releasing the starting button you can try it again a few minutes later to see if it clears TDC and starts easier. For the best starting and longest lifespan keep the battery near full charge (14.4V). If the battery resting voltage drops below 13.1V it should be charged before use. A resting voltage of 13.2-13.6V would be normal."

    Someone else rewound the stator, but I assembled everything. I reached out just to make sure it was assembled same way as I marked wires (pending reply). I would be shocked if that rotor was loose. I torqued the heck out of it and pretty sure I hit the 300 ft lbs mark. If I didn't I wasn't far off. I followed the updated torque sequence. I was thinking sprag clutch could have been reversed, but I never took the bearing out and I believe there is only one way to install the rotor and sprag clutch back together. Another person suggested that there could have been some alignment issues. My plan is to open the stator cover and see if anything is bound up. Something I regrettably didn't do was oil all the parts I was putting back together. I had wiped all the oil off to keep everything clean without debris.

    I put a few batteries on it and no change. Only thing that changes is how much squeal it makes. I was putting my bike in gear and seeing if I can even get the rear wheel to budge, and it won't go anywhere. I've tried all the gears.

    Buell 1125CR 1.) Recently had stator rewind and rotor upgrade. Assembled everything back together myself. 2.) Purchase new Shorai battery, lights turned on, bike turned over a couple times, then battery went completely dead. Could not get any voltage readings out of it. 3.) Contacted Shorai for warranty exchange, they sent me a brand new battery, checked with multimeter, readings were good, hooked up to the bike and this is what is happening: Sound at 1 second is bike turning on. Sound at 5 seconds is flipping kill switch to on. Sound at 8 seconds is something near the battery area (there is a box there with start and ignition printed on it, sounds like click is coming from there). Sound at 9 seconds is when I hit yellow ignition button. Sounds like squelch is coming from that same relay box. I put my ear down toward the sprag clutch area and didn't hear anything mechanical. Sounds like it is electrical and not mechanical.

    I say If you plan on doing a lot of yard manipulation (want to move dirt, haul, push snow, etc.) get a tractor with hydraulics and easy changing attachments. If you plan on just mowing grass get something fast and big, like a zero turn. If you plan to just mow the lawn and want some exercise, get a walk behind zero turn. I have almost a quarter acre lot and I have a tractor, but I got it for free. I'd probably push mow or get a zero turn if I didn't have the tractor. I do plow my driveway with my tractor, but it doesn't have hydraulics (pain to get the plow on and off every year). There is a lot involved with plowing on a tractor that you likely wouldn't normally think about if you've never plowed before. There are some significant limitations like speed, weight, grip, etc. I can move a lot of snow with mine, but if I don't have enough weight and speed on my tractor to push it up the hill on my driveway, it turns into a project. Based on what you are providing, I say walk behind mower (zero turn)

    Wrecked.

    I found out that I may be able to get the part a little faster than expected (not from EBR). Looking into it now. Sounds like if I wanted to actually do this is would cost a lot more than just waiting a few weeks for the part to arrive.

    Someone found me a link on badweb... http://badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/665658.html ... Looks like it is wire EDM
  15. just_some_dude
    This is a stretch, but thought I may as well ask. EBR offered a modified rotor to assist with the fix with the whole 1125CR rotor issue. I ordered the rotor on their site the same day they announced the were going through receivership. Shortly after my order the site went down. I have attempted to contact with no luck. I could order the part from over seas, but would imagine that would take quite awhile. Anyone know of a CNC in central Ohio that could take on the task of taking my rotor and replicating the fix? To my understanding it just needs a few precision holes drilled in it for better oil flow. Any idea what something like this would cost? Is it even worth the effort?
  16. just_some_dude
    I have split between cars a few times, but have not done it at traffic stops. I think it is a bit crazy they don't allow it here in Ohio, especially considering the research to prove it does more good than bad. There is some law in Ohio that you can't have more than 1 vehicle occupying a lane at a time. They will likely cite you with that and reckless driving... I would not be surprised if someone opened a door on you, threw something, or blocked your path. They'd likely be crazy enough to stop their vehicle, just to block you, which would likely include other traffic and call the cops and wait until they get there. They'd hold up the world to "get you". I say do it. Just be careful. Be really funny to see all the faces of drivers at stop lights being "jumped in line". Not my fault if you get raped with a victimless crime and the government stealing your money.

    If you need the service manual for you or the person who works on your bike... you can find it here... http://buellridersonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6799.

    Seems legit... I like when I fall off my bike that I am immediately decapitated. I'm all in.

    Are you wanting roads, or just maps? I've used Backcountry Navigator while hiking.

    I also have this odd feeling that the BATFE is also just wanting to collect information from people sending them emails to track and pounce on when needed... but, that is just another side to my thinking. Either way I am writing.
  21. just_some_dude
    Well, if nobody says anything or does anything it will happen. Simple as that. Always a possibility that it will happen either way. The idea behind freedom in this country is long gone. Really it is something that needs to be relearned and knowledge to get it back. People should also band together and protect each other. We can stand up for ourselves, but getting gunned down by a politician's pawn (police) doesn't work out so well. Once we are taken away from the herd we are easy targets. If people are willing to let people get picked off, then we will continue to live as slaves. In addition, just because they pass a law doesn't mean you have to follow it. But again, people need to stand up together to protect from the unreasonable and obviously illogical law. If we stand up and support someone who refuses to follow these bad laws we win. If we don't, we lose. Up to me, up to you.

    I tried to do a search for any other articles, but people are only citing this one. I can't find any information about vehicles and admin fees in general in FL. I haven't done a huge search, but...
  23. just_some_dude
    State they are talking about is Florida. A guy goes to purchase a motorcycle stating that there was an admin fee. When he asked the breakdown of the admin fee $40 was to TSA check to see in on no fly list. Also stated if he payed more then $2500 in cash they would have to report to TSA.

    I haven't found any alternate sources to determine whether this is legit or not, but still interesting... http://youtu.be/29biuwiFEpc

    Man with machete breaks down door and gets shot. Interesting video. From a few reports I read the man who broke in had a PTSD episode. Stated he doesn't remember what he did. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/19/machete-man-shot-video_n_6501818.html Did a search, hope this isn't a repost.
