I have a 98' S1W - owners manual - and desire to tweak the suspension. I'm 6'0 150lbs, and the bike feels a little rigid when cornering - bought the bike and am the third owner, no idea where it is set to. Any advice on a good starting point and how to actually adjust the shock? Can't find it in the manual I have or anywhere on the web - looking for the shop manual as we speak. Any advice would be great! | ||

If you have the recall shock, maybe Service Bulletin B-035A SHOCK ABSORBER AND FRONT SHOCK MOUNT is applicable. http://badweatherbikers.com/buell/bulletins/NewSho ck95-00.pdf DAve | ||

I weigh about the same as you and started with factory settings as a baseline. As Dave said, make sure you know which shock you have. The factory setting vary significantly between the original and recall shock (16.5" vs. 14.5"). Don't know why but they do. | ||

Is there somewhere I can look to see if my Buell has had the new shock installed and check other recalls? Closest thing I have to a Buell dealership is the local Harley shop. | ||

Run the VIN with a HD dealership that formerly sold Buells. Buell went through a few phases with the Showa shock recalls. The S1 would have came originally with an exposed spring version. DAve |
