    Hello from Cambodia. I've got an 09 XB12Ss and I'd like to find the recommended factory suspension settings. I understand that a card came with the bike with these recommendations, but I got mine secondhand. I've found settings on the web for nearly every other Buell, but not mine. Thanks in advance for your reply.

    Thanks for that info. I'm a bit confused though. When I adjust my fork preload I don't see any "lines" showing. I read on another forum that the newer models have different preload adjustment, and that you simply counts turns in from minimum setting. Any advice, photos, links, or info will be much appreciated.

    I wondered the same thing I have a 09 also but it isnt a Ss, my doesnt have lines also for adjustment. I figured I would post the pic anyway since it is right out of the 09 service manual.

    Does the Ss use the same suspension as the Uly X or XT? I can give you those adjustments if it helps.

    I've got those, and I'm almost sure that it's not the same. Thanks

    Hello from Cambodia
    Sheeze! These Buells are poping up everywhere. We need a pic of your buell next to a budda temple or a cart of fried crickets or something "Cambodian". Welcome to the forum

    jesse: my 2009 owners manual for an SS shows different settings entirely and for the life of me don't know why. i also have no front preload lines. urbanpail: how much do you weigh in either kilograms or US pounds. let me know and i will send you the settings.

    I weigh 200lbs. But I often ride with a passenger and sometimes loaded. If toy could snap a pic of the settings and post it, I'd appreciate it.
