And now...how about just the opposite? I've been riding since I was 13 years old and even did some racing when I was younger. But now at 62, I do know my...
you could try switching to the M2 cams, which are a little more "conservative" and give a little low-end boost. if you do switch cams, it certainly wouldn't...
Wolf... How big a project is it to switch to the M2 cams? Would I buy a set from a dealer and have them install them, or would it be best done by a good...
changing the cams on an XL-based engine is very simple (it was designed to be) -- pull the pushrods and lifters, pop off the gearcase cover, swap the cams, and...
The choke knob on my 2000 M2 Cyclone lately has to be held out during warm up or it closes prematurely. This results in either the engine stalling, or running...
if this is the first time it's happened, try tightening the retaining ring (the knurled ring holding it to the bracket). that usually helps. if it remains too...
It's possible that the plastic knob is worn where it goes into the mounting block. The friction between those pieces is what holds the choke open. Same thing...
... This is something i deal with also....I will hold the knob out till my S1 warms up... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!...
I have to say it... It's an "enricher," not a choke. Unless you've changed carbs... Unlike a choke, it bumps up the fuel/air ratio for start-up without ...
i broke the choke knob on my 98 s-1, and a new one was 13.00 and i save 10% by useing my brag card OPHAWK 98 S-1 Lighting ... mounting block. The friction...
Just like people type "How R U?" instead of "How are you?" the word "Choke" has far fewer letters and syllables than "Enrichener." Besides, I wasn't referring...
Think you may be right. That approach is indicated from the Dyno run we did this morning. The new map we did helps a quite a bit, but the dyno tech's (Konrad...
Hello all, I finally got my bike into the shop last week to have it repaired only to get "the phone call of death" from the mechanic. What initially started ...

Hmmmmm... I understand S&S makes a SMOKIN' replacement engine for the Buell... ;-) Please hit the "Send button" only once? Thanks! ... -- Jaime A. Cruz ...
Haha, sorry about that multi-post=) Thanks for the info. on the S&S. Any idea what the cost is? Does it bolt right up to the exisiting trans and any other...
Fred, in all seriousness, you might do better to go on eBay and try to purchase a used Buell, and either swap the motor or just modify the new bike to make it...
Holy Christ! 3k just to rebuild the engine? I think I'm going to go crawl in a hole and die. ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New...
Just a guess. This past summer, I had top end work ONLY, and that ran $1,200. That's new pistons, bored cylinders, new seals for valves. Some of this was...
A bolt-on S&S motor isn$B!G(Bt going to work in a Buell. The Buell motor hangs from the frame, where as a HD motor sits in the frame. The motor in a Buell...
Damn! Just checked the price of one of those things!! I agree with the others here... buy a used Buell on eBay and use it's parts. It'll be a LOT cheaper!! ...
I have to say it...;) You might know what the "thingy" at the end of the knob does, but I bet someone here learned something from this sting. I didn't know...
... Sure it will. Check S&S's catalog. They not only list Buell motors, there's a picture of one with the front mount bolted on (not a typical Buell mount, but...
Yeah, i was just looking at that very site. Alex's reply make a lot of sense too. Lot's to consider, and I suppose I won't know if it can be rebuilt or if it's...
Yup, that's the plan at this point if it can be done. ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product...
... Check Ebay for parts. At one point I was considering building a big, evil engine (Thunderstorm heads, 85 ci or something like that, Andrews cams, etc.) and...
Buy a service manual, find a friend who is a decent mechanic and tear the thing apart. These motors are cake to work on. It would be cheaper to build a new...
... I picked up a 96 ZX7R racebike for $3k with about 95% of it's street parts in boxes. It's not tame or comfortable ;) ... Yup, I'd definately fix mine...
As promised, the rather assuming pictures on my Lightning's rear jug, head and piston. The mechanic pointed out to me that whoever worked on the top end of...
I'm new to this list, but have a quick question. I awoke this morning to a bike that wouldn't start. Basically the ignition just clicks, and occasionally the...
