Is that a '98? I thought the '98 had a manta tank and the 2.5" pipes? Looks like the standard narrow tank and 2" pipes. I thought all 98's came with those changes? | ||

98 S1W's were T-storm head, 2.5" collector, manta tank models. 98 regular S1's were Lightning head, 2" collector, narrow tank. 97 and prior were PM front calipers, 98's were Nissin. That one has a Nissin, so it's likely a 98. | ||

So other than the Nissin brakes, the regular '98 S1's were no different than the earlier '96-97 models? | ||

There are some other minor differences...frame colors, body materials (earlier S1s had fiberglass body panels, 98's were molded plastic), painted vs exposed CF rear fenders, different swingarm "axles"/adjusters, older pegasus logo went away in almost all places, turn signal flasher changed, different swingarm support bracket (the one that says BUELL over the front pulley), and I think the instrument panel bezels went from black to chrome. There's probably several other things that escape me at the moment, but I don't think any were very significant. The brakes are the biggest difference. | ||

There was another difference unique to the 96 S1, which was the front motor mount. | ||

Nissin caliper on the '98 also had a 1/2" master cylinder instead of the 5/8" like earlier models. ie: Stronger brakes. |
