Any one had experience welding on a set of Buell cases? Bought a wreck and the rear engine/transmission flange that attaches to the swing arm carrier (better...
note that I'm *not* an experienced welder, so I don't have any technical advice for you. however I do want to point out that buell engine cases, as fitted in...
I believe, if done properly, a weld can be stronger than the original material. The flange I believe you are talking about is not a super-important one, ...
The welding has begun and has gone better than expected. Because the broken rear mount is something of an appendage to the cases heat transfer to critical...
your S3 fairing is fiberglas. if I remember correctly, it's got a primer coat, a color coat, and a clear coat on it - I don't think it's got a gel coat under...
Thanks its a '99 and it does go all the way through it fell on the trailer on the way to the shop (old tie down!) man was I pissed it didn't have a mark on...
if the paint side isn't too badly damaged, and it's just a clean crack through the fiberglas, you can try a patch on the inside. use a fiberglas patch kit like...
... S3. anyone interested in trading a buell race ECM for a powercommander? Hmmmm.... gotta think that through. YOu have all the goodies that come with the...
the stock ECM is, unfortunately, not programmable, so there's no software to control it. the only computer system that will interface with the stock ECM is the...
Hi there everyone, i am looking to make a front and back bike stands for my 98 S-1, does anyone have any plains to make them or know of a web site that may...
Has any one tried or considered using the hollow cast aluminum swing arm on the '99-'02's as an auxilllary oil reservior and cooler. It will hold 2+ quarts!...
With that much surface area the oil would run cooler. I'd love to see if it works. Jim ... From: awfijr [mailto:awfijr@...] Sent: Monday, May 19, 2003...
Thanks Wolf. If you learn anything let me know. -Mike Autronics A Curtiss-Wright Company Michael Edwards Senior PCB Designer Autronics Corporation 12701...
only thing I have to say is be careful to try to keep the oil near the pivot mount. two quarts of oil is pretty heavy, and I'd be concerned about it weighing...
I have run into a problem with my 99 X1, and hoping I can get some insight...... My bike is missing shifts at high RPMs. When upshifting, the pedal will move...
From easiest to hardest - 1) make sure the linkage has little free-play, and that it goes through the full range of movement without binding up. It may be...
I have a 97 S1 Lightning with a bad main drive gear bearing (transmission output) In order to replace this bearing I have to remove the transmission sprocket...
I use a large socket and a double-hammer Ingersoll-Rand impact. This is one time that manual tools don't cut it. You could try one of the impact drivers that...
I know others have mentioned the headwork done by Nallin Racing on their Buells, but I just got a set of Evo heads back from them and am amazed at the quality...
I agree that the only way to loosen this nut is with a large impact wrench and a lot of patience. It took me almost 5 minutes of continuous pounding with a...
Best thing I ever bought years ago was a little 2hp air compressor. I have added an impact wrench, sockets, die cutters etc to the tool kit also. For the...
I am a little new to work on motorcycles. you said in #3 check when the bike is hot, WHY is that? thank you OPHAWK 98 S-1 Lighting ... through the ... on quite...
Most of the volume of the cavity in the swing arm is in the area around the pivot and the lower extension that attaches to the shock. The arms themselves taper...
Because the clutch plates expand as they heat up. I guess you could change this to number 1 as it is easy to do. Ride the bike until it is thoroughly warmed...
I'm thinking the axle adjusters might be difficult to keep sealed. Is there any way to use something like JB Weld to plug the area? I don't have my bike...
Thanks for everyone's help on the transmission sprocket nut. I borrowed a friend's impact wrench and my parent's air compressor and got it off today. Jake...
