Author Message   Rickybobby88 Posted on Thursday, March 22, 2012 - 03:34 pm:        I recently came a proud owner of a very nice 96 s1 lightning. I'm in the process of giving her some upgrades. I been looking at a few upgrades witch include. Mikuni 42 Carb, Vance & Hines exhaust and a screaming eagle intake. Besides those upgrades should I consider anything with the internals or electrical to really wake the bike up. All info is greatly appreciated. On a side note the bike has 15,000 miles should I consider replacing the clutch. Everything seems to work smoothly so far.   S1owner Posted on Thursday, March 22, 2012 - 06:46 pm:        Congrats I own one also great bikes chech with hd and have them run the vin make sure all warranty/recall work has been done. As far as the clutch I have 22000 and am just now replacing depends on the Po and how you drive it! Look at my add in the classifieds tuber parts what I have left see if there anything you like!   Dannybuell Posted on Thursday, March 22, 2012 - 07:29 pm:        get a service manual. check isolators.   Rickybobby88 Posted on Friday, March 23, 2012 - 10:43 am:        Should I consider looking into getting an after market ignition system ?   Outdoors Posted on Friday, March 23, 2012 - 11:30 am:        Stock Buell ignition parts (if in good condition) are totally fine for a stock or slightly modified engine. Many people like the CV carb with a bit of tweaking and others love the mikuni. Your choice. I still run the CV but I've considered the switch. Buells came fitted with pretty decent intake and exhausts. Many of us change things but no big gains there, unlike some of the HD factory set ups. If you could upgrade to a 2.5" system like the S1W had, that would be helpful, but not required. Head work and cams matched to your driving style are really the only thing worth opening it up for in my opinion and that isn't cheap. If everything is working well, just make sure the consumables are in good condition and drive it for awhile. If you want to spend a few sheckles on it then driver comforts like a good seat, excellent tires, etc are always money well spent and will help you enjoy your new ride.   Rickybobby88 Posted on Saturday, March 24, 2012 - 06:20 pm:        Been eye balling those screamin eagle ignition modules what are your thoughts on those ?
