I am using aluminium canisters that only hold a quart a piece. By using a larger capacity oil filter will this make up the difference in oil capacity i will need????? Please help with any ideas.. Darwin | ||

"oil capacity i will need" To do what? | ||

Your profile shows you have a 1996 S1, doing a wheelie. There used to be an S1 service manual online and posted maybe to the site here but it appears to be dead-linked for now, might have been sequestered or removed or moved to where the old links no longer get you to it. My M2, similar to your S1 a little bit, has a vented oil tank/bag, and when it was full enough of oil there was still room at the top for venting and foam and such. Not sure what your current setup is like, but it sounds like you have a couple of oil cans that are somehow plumbed into your bike's oiling system. Curious about what you actually have? Can you post a pic showing your current setup? A service manual or the owner's manual should have the capacity for your bike's stock setup. Most folks I know who replace a stock oil tank replace it with a single tank. | ||

Mike,manual is still in the KV under manuals for an S-1,worked for me. | ||

Didn't work for me. I could get the content/index page but not past the first click. I'll try again tomorrow, could have been a browser issue. | ||

FMJ, Were you able to click on the manual links and into the actual document itself? I get to this page http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/3607.html?1201394739 Then click on this link http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/Manuals/S1_1 996-1997_Service/intro.pdf The front content page opens so I click on one of the main headings which then opens up a contents page with page numbers but when I then click on one of the subject lines such as "Fluid Requirements" my Adobe reader pops up an error message that states: "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found." Can you confirm if you can get past this point? | ||

Mike, it works OK for me. rt | ||

You can get down to the actual instruction pages? Going to clean out my caches here and see if that works. = = = = = Nope, still no go, could be a local Adobe issue with this computer. I'll try it from home tonight. (Message edited by mikej on February 14, 2008) | ||

Try it standing on one foot and swinging a dead cat over your head! rt | ||

I got in trouble here in the office the last time I tried that. Might have to wait until after hours to try it again. Running to the used bookstore at lunch, will look for appropriate roadkill in the snowplow berms along the way to bring back for the afterhours experiment. Another 3"-6" of snow forecast for today. I'm thinking of moving to Alaska so I can ride the motorcycle more. | ||

I guess yo don't want to know that it's 74 and sunny in Houston today. I have it on good authority that the cat trick doesn't work unless the corpse is unfrozen! rt | ||
| Mikej |
Nah, doesn't matter if it's a sunny 74 down there, because in the winter we can walk on the water in the lakes up here. | ||

I think someone is messing with my head, or else someone did the cat trick while I was sleeping last night, but today the links all work. Darwin, From the linked .pdf files:
I don't have an answer to your question though. |
