Hello all, I am brand new to the group and to Buell. I just purchased a 2000 red-stripe (limited edition) X1 Lightning. My question is this: The race kit is...
Hello Gang, I am new to the group and new to Buell having just purchased the bike. It has the race kit but has a Super Trapp exhaust. The bike has been dynoed...
... Thats pretty good, you do loose that much at the rear wheel. Is the exhaust a slip on? The race pipe will make a little bit more but not much. The ...
That's probably about right; I usually use a factor of 16% loss to the rear wheel. My 2001 S3 (rated at the factory at 101 HP) showed 85 HP before any changes....
I'm working on rebuild of X-1. Don't want to spend 175.00 for the headlight. Is this a standard 7" light or does anybody know aftermarket headlight?...
Bruce, The stock exhaust header has a smaller diameter( 2.5", I believe), and is straight at the end. The race header has a 3" diameter, and has a bend at the...
if I'm not mistaken, the race header is also a slightly different length. I believe the race header has equalized runs for each cylinder, while the stock...
Wolf, That is correct. In order to accomadate the larger diameter of the pipes, the bends have to be a larger radius. It's not a huge difference though. The...
I just bought a 99' S3 off Ebay. The bike arrived in great condition but I have a couple issues. First, I cant get the gas cap off. It opens and lifts a...
Just bought a 99' S3 off Ebay, bike arrived OK, but I have a couple issues: Can't get the gas cap off?? it pulls out on one side (top)about a quarter inch or...
Hi Able, My '98 S3 cap just started to not want to come off also. I have seen a few people saying that it is not uncommon with these bikes. I just iggle mine...
... Thanks ED, I found the actuator under the seat above the rear tire, I did not follow the cable to the handle though, anyway it's off. The cap is BAD,...

does the lock in the gas cap turn all the way, or is it jammed? I've seen caps where the lock was just slightly engaged, and they seemed to be stuck in place. ...
... I finally had to pry mine off with a big screwdriver and file the plastic part a bit smaller. It seems the plastic swells over the years and then it won't...
... Thanks for the hints and help. Got the cap off, had to pry it off. I was just uncertain if I was going to break anything before. So a little Dremel work...

I've got a 1998 S3T with the deep covers. They're great for a weekend trip, but are kind of bulky for everyday use. Does anyone have a set they'd like to...

The back plastic piece on these gas caps teds to mushroom over time. If you can wiggle or pry it out, you will be able to trim any burr off the "wings"(sand...

the reset-the-ECM thing (technically "resetting the AFV (adaptive fuel value)") is true, but it only applies if you've actually run out of fuel -- that is, run...
