    S1 Sidestand Switch Help! Photos Please?

    Sorry. It's a '97 S1. The switch I ordered looks just like the one in your picture. However, I can't tell what the switch is actually bolted to in your photo. Is that the swing arm mount that it is attached to?

    S1 Sidestand Switch Help! Photos Please?

    I removed my side stand switch long ago, and jumpered the wires together. I have had electrical problems ever since, and just recently purchased a new side stand switch to make my troubleshooting a bit easier. Can somebody post some photos of the side stand switch? I can't remember how it...

    Idle screw on S1 Buell

    Idle speed adjustment? Or idle mixture? Idle speed is controlled by a knob/cable that runs up and out the right hand side below the fuel tank. Idle mixture screw is hidden by an aluminum plug so you don't make any unnecessary adjustments. The plug needs to be drilled out before you can adjust...

    heat wrap

    I think I used a 50ft roll and needed a 25 foot roll to finish the collector if I remember right. 2 inch. I had the pipe off and started a few inches down from the head, wrapped toward the head, secured with a stainless tie, and worked my way back down the pipe and secured again at the bottom...

    heat wrap

    Check out DEI's 'Titanium' header wrap. I put it on my S1, and think it looks great. And you don't have to bother getting it wet first.

    2000 X1 HELP

    Are your exhaust headers tight against the heads. I'm more familiar with the carb fed S1, without all the computerized EFI. But I had my header nuts back off a little and it ran the same way you're describing. And I thought maybe an exhaust sensor might not be sensing properly, and causing a...

    INTAKE question

    Air cleaner – Forcewinder XR2 kit, polished, 99-02 Buell w/FI (Also in white or black) This is where I bought mine for my carbureted S1 and was pleased with their service. http://www.nrhsperformance.com/partscarburetion.shtml

    Front Isolator

    So I installed a new front isolator on my '97 S1 last fall, and it's already torn itself to shreds. But I just noticed on American Sportbike that there's a new design that came out earlier this year. So I guess I'll give that a shot. Hopefully it lasts more than 100 miles... Has anybody used the...

    So, who's an airplane guy?

    I finished A&P school in '03 and have been working for Erickson Aircrane ever since. A short stint in engine overhaul, over 2 years as a structural mechanic, and about 4 years as a field mechanic. The S-64 Aircrane and the Buell S-1 are very similar, both shake themselves apart, and for every...

    Where to keep my helmet?

    I use a DaKine cable snowboard lock on my bikes. You can loop them through just about anywhere on your bike. and you can even run them through the arm of your jacket and leave that on your bike, too.

    I HATE WIRES!!!

    So I finally got around to looking a bit closer at it. (I think I just needed to step away for awhile.) I ran through the maintenance manual, and performed the stator test which includes a continuity test through the coil which came out with the proper .4 ohms of resistance, and a check to make...

    I HATE WIRES!!!

    I was hoping somebody on here could help me out with some electrical issues I'm having. I've got a '97 S1 Lightning. Over the winter, I had the bike pretty well torn apart to change the swingarm, and I think I may have pinched some wiring somewhere. After getting the bike back together, I...

    I like it! Planning on putting lights under the tank of my S1. What brand did you use?

    brake pads to thin?

    You might want to check the maintenance manual for the specs, but sometimes you can tell by the amount of the manufacturers groove that is left on the pads (just above the end of the last 'W' on the photo). It's fairly typical for brakepads on any vehicle. Some will have a 'wear line' printed...

    Looking for carbon fiber ham can air cleaner.......hypercharger trade?

    Never saw that one. It's slightly different then the one that my bike had, but mainly where the cover bolts attach. Shouldn't make a difference on how it mounts up though.

    Looking for carbon fiber ham can air cleaner.......hypercharger trade?

    I saw the carbon cover on there. But I don't think it's got the back mounting plate that attaches to the carb. And I don't know the condition of the filter on mine (or even if it's still around) But I believe I've got the cover, the back plate, the hardware, and the breather hoses. But I'll...

    Looking for carbon fiber ham can air cleaner.......hypercharger trade?

    That pictures from the first night I got her about three years ago... So I had to snap a few pics. It's torn apart in the garage right now getting a polished swingarm. Anyhow, about the air cleaner... I'm out of country working right now, and won't be home for about two more weeks. But when I...
