1996 S1 Lightning factory race bike
VIN # on the frame says "Race use only - 0011".
Comes with 3 crates of spare parts including rear shock, exhaust system, cams, front discs, about 20 assorted...

I am putting this bike up for sale.
I did a track day on it and had a great time but it is really more bike than I want. It runs great and seemed to handle well but as it was my first track day,...

He's asking $5K.

That's about what I thought, but I've been in touch with the owner since I posted this message and I guess the bike comes with a silver lined gas tank or something else he's not telling me about.

Supposedly in perfect condition with factory race chip, dual outlet exhaust, and K&N filter, has about 9,000 miles on it. Has a gel seat, black windscreen, and a cover, plus the stock seat and...

Oak tree - exactly!

Here's a shot - Ben Spies and Nicky Hayden are on alert.

Track day at VIR was great fun!
The bike quit on the 2nd lap and was dumping gas from the carb. It quit pouring and once I got back to the pits, I was able to restart and the problem was gone. ...

Track day scheduled this Saturday. This could be hairy trying to adjust to a track and the awkward riding position of this bike both at the same time. I don't plan on pushing any limits, just...

Wow - MoverQuest's site looks good but they quoted me $250 higher than anyone else, including Eagle One, who is recommended but slower than I would like.
I may still use them if they give me...

I used Keyboard Motorcycle Shipping for both of my Buells, but have now bought a Yamaha GTS1000 (the one with hub center steering) on the west coast and Keyboard doesn't go there.
The only company I...

Getting all the untake stuff out of the way allowed me to get enough light on the plug and see well enough from above to make sure I had the plug aligned correctly after which I was able to get the...

Thanks for the help guys.
I took the air cleaner cover and other parts off, but stopped at the rubber 'snorkel' because it didn't look like it was going to give me the access I needed.
I think from...

After sitting for months due to an accident last spring, my bike is about ready to go back on the road.
As happened when I first got it, the bike started up, but quit before it could warm up and...

Thanks for the info. I was looking at forks from a CR, but maybe I should stick with the XB series.

Guell, would that change maintain the distance between the forks allowing use of the newer wheel,axle, spacer(s) and brake?

What's a turberculosis stem?
Lowering the front end might be a problem. This race bike is pretty darn low already. I figured in anything, using more recent forks would have to be moved up in the...

Thanks, the bike uses clip ons so the stock bars wouldn't matter.
I'd like to get all the unique features of the Buell line in one bike (oil in swing arm, fuel in frame, underslung shock, muffler...

I've got a '96 factory race bike and would like to put a recent model perimeter brake on it. Anyone know what would be required?
I'm guessing it might require a set of recent model forks and a...

I'm going to have to figure out where I can risk taking it for a ride without a blue light special. I want to find out what it feels like, plus of course I want to make sure it's right having bought...

Here's the bike as shown on Ebay.

I am supposed to get the dyno sheet with the bike. The torque specs he listed aren't possible - has to have been a typo.

Your bike is SHARP! Do you race it?

I'll add a photo later.

The torque figure on the dyno test sounded so excessive I didn't post it as I think it might be a typo (I'll find out when I see it), but it's not why I bought it anyway.
The guy who sold it...

I just purchased a '96 Buell factory racer. VIN # has "race use only 0011" on it.
I initially started looking at this as the basis for a unique 'build' but I wonder if that's wise since this...
