buell xb12ss suspension

[rutger]

Hi, need some help in regards to the suspension settings on my buell xb12ss. I live in Canada and am unable to access the manuals that are available on Buell.com as it will not accept my VIN #. I have also read that the settings for the S models are different from the Ss. I just want to make sure that the settings are correct for my weight. I weigh about 145 lbs without gear and 155 lbs with gear. If someone could supply with the settings that suit my wieght or a web site where I can access the manual it would be much appreciated. Thanks for the help. This is a great site, full of great info.

Here's a link to the manuals that you should be able to access: Buell Owner's Manuals. Wasn't sure of your year model but it's the same for all as far as I know so here's the chart also.

Wow, that was a quick response. Thanks. It is a 2006 model. I will try the settings on the weekend. I looks as though it is currently set up for someone in the 230 lb range. Thanks again.

There's a simple how-to process in the manual for those settings - were you able to access the manual from the link?

I followed the instructions from the manual on this website. The changes were very easy to make. What a difference in handling. The bike turns in so much sharper. I still need to make some small adjustments to get it just right. The rear of the bike feels a little too soft for my liking, but the front is just right. Thanks everyone for your help.
