Had a XB12S, crashed & wrote it off. Bought a XB12R.

- will the service manual for he old be sufficient? or should I get the Firebolt manual?
- on the lightning, low beam on one side, flip the switch low comes off high goes on.
- on the Firebolt flip the switch BOTH are on - is that normal? will the housing melt or warp? the low beam is kinda useless by itself...

The manual should be close, some components, particularly electrical will be in different
locations.

Your headlights are working correctly. Unless riding in a group at night I usually run high beam all the time.

Bikes are 95% the same.

I think though that the suspension set-ups vary a little between the models (S to R) - not something to be overlooked.

the newer owners' manuals are available online at Buell.com. under the FAQ tab.

Sorry Diablo - I meant the service manual not the owner's manual

The owners manual has the suspension settings for both the lightnings and 'bolts.

I figured you were talking about the service manual before. It's all good! : )

I've been using the Firebolt manual for my Lightning since I bought it. Big difference really is part location and the sub frames for the tail and fairing. The important stuff is all there.
