The clutch adjustment and lever freeplay procedures remain the same. The change was made to provide additional clear- ance between the coupler and the primary cover.
Spring preload is the most important suspension adjustment on the S1 Lightning. Improper preload will adversely affect both the handling and motorcycle ride. Correct preload set- ting will result in motorcycle handling that suits the rider’s size and weight.

FRONT FORK GENERAL 5761 The front fork consists of two telescoping outer tube/inner slider assemblies. Each tube/slider assembly has an internal compression spring which supports the forward weight of the vehicle/rider. The compression spring extends and retracts to cushion the ride over rough or irregular road surfaces. An oil- filled damping mechanism controls the telescoping action of each tube/slider assembly.

REAR SHOCK ABSORBER GENERAL 5541a Figure 2-41. The rear suspension features a WP Suspen- sion shock absorber. The shock adjusts for compression and rebound damping as well as spring preload. The most important rear shock adjustment is the preload set- ting.
ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION Figure 2-43. Install spring (7). Figure 2-41. Loosely install reservoir clamps (2, 3). Install steel spring retainer (6). With banjo bolt facing upward, place shock in mounts and loosely install front allen screw and locknut (4) (metric). Install circlip (5) on end of shock cartridge. Loosely install rear allen screw and locknut (1) (metric).
SUSPENSION THEORY DEFINITIONS 5572 Compression: Suspension is compressed when the wheel moves upward. Damping: Resistance to movement. Damping affects how easily the suspension can move and limits oscilla- tion of the system once movement has begun. Preload: The spring is compressed somewhat during assembly.

Rear turn signal weight. This setting should be made before the motorcycle is mounting bolt ridden any distance. Your Buell dealer can assist you with rear shock spring preload settings. Improper preload will adversely affect both the handling and the ride of the motorcycle. Correct setting of preload will result in a motorcycle that suits the rider’s size and weight.
ADJUSTMENTS b0206x2x Evaluating and changing the rebound and compression damping is a very subjective process. A good performing sus- pension finds a proper balance between spring, spring pre- load, damping, track conditions and riding speed. However, all settings are at best a compromise. If a rider fails to find a good set-up, go back to the factory recommended settings and start over again.

Table 2-7. General Suspension Problems TROUBLESHOOTING CONDITION ADJUSTMENT SOLUTION Bike wallows through turns. Increase rebound damping. Feels loose or vague after bumps. Wheel tends to “pogo” after passing over a bump. This is noticeable by watching the bike continue to bounce as it travels over multiple bumps.

CARBURETOR GENERAL 5609 Figure 4-1. Buell motorcycles use a constant-velocity, gravity-fed carburetor. This carburetor features a float-oper- ated inlet valve, a variable venturi, a throttle stop screw (for idle speed adjustment) and a fuel enrichment system (for starting). Idle and transfer ports provide a balanced fuel mixture during the transition period from stop to mid-range.
Page 205

Restricted fuel tank vent system. Correct restricted hose. Replace vapor vent valve. Dirty or damaged air cleaner element.

OPERATION OMF3 Normal running position Enrichener The enrichener knob, next to the ignition switch, controls the opening and closing of the enrichener valve at the carburetor. Full out position CAUTION 1/2 way position Avoid idling with the enrichener knob in the full out posi- tion for periods longer than 30 seconds.
Page 207
Fuel Supply System When fuel is used by the running engine, the fuel level in the float chamber drops; this lowers the float and inlet valve, thereby causing the valve to open and the fuel flow to resume. Figure 4-3. Fuel from the fuel tank passes through the carburetor inlet valve into the carburetor float chamber.
Page 208
Starting Circuit When the enrichener knob is pulled outward, the enrichener valve opens the air/fuel passage to the low pressure carbure- tor venturi.

High-Speed Circuit Slide Position The venturi opening increases and the needle is lifted further out of the needle jet. The quantity of fuel and the volume of air are simultaneously increased and metered to the proportions of engine demand by the variable venturi and needle lift.

FUEL TANK GENERAL b0254x4x WARNING Verify that the fuel tank vent hose does not contact hot exhaust or engine parts. The hose contains flammable vapors that can be ignited if damaged, thereby resulting in personal injury. Figure 4-21. The fuel tank is vented through a vent valve assembly within the tank.
DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY 5742 WARNING Even with the fuel tank completely drained, a small amount of gasoline may leak from the bore when the fuel supply valve is loosened or removed. Thoroughly wipe up any spilt fuel immediately and dispose of rags in a suitable manner.
FUEL SUPPLY VALVE GENERAL b0029b2x The fuel supply valve is located on the left side, below the fuel tank. The gasoline supply to the carburetor is shut OFF when the handle is in the vertical position. For gasoline main sup- ply, turn the handle to the 3 o’clock position (horizontal rear- ward).
CALIFORNIA MODELS GENERAL Vapors to canister Captured Buell motorcycles sold in the state of California are equipped check ball with an evaporative (EVAP) emissions control system. The EVAP system prevents fuel hydrocarbon vapors from escap- ing into the atmosphere and is designed to meet the Califor- nia Air Resource Board (CARB) regulations in effect at the time of manufacture.
