That's no S1W

I never expected my post to generate such interesting banter. After some searching (16x20 doesn't appear to be a common size) I found a pack of 50 from GWR Fasteners on EBay for the princely sum of £2.90 delivered. I'll be dead by the time they run out, if I don't loose them first.

Ta......never seem to find the stuff I want on a search......even though it appears to be been there for the taking. Thanks again.

Anyone know the size of the Engine Oil drain plug sealing washer (2000 R1100S)? Though I have done loads of oil changes on bikes and cars without ever changing the sealing washer suddenly I have the urge to do it properly next time and would like to be prepared rather than scury down to the local bi...

That's the one. Needs a little work but it's inviting Certainly looks the business and as you say the best aestetic Buell by far. One of the guys in UKBeg has a stunning shiney example of which I will be eternally jealous! After being gutted that it didn't come up a few days earlier I reasoned I wa...

And it'll be this one http://www.ukbeg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=17769 that got advertised just after I bought my X1

I know, it looks lovely! At least one bit of X1 on it though!

S1W is my ideal buell but just bought a 2001 X1, as a 'reliable' alternative. It has just been thoroughly Maz'd too before I bought it and effectively sealed the bargain. Though a grumpy b'stard Maz knows the machines inside out and his fettling certainly made my previous XB9R a better machine. As f...

My '10 RC8 was a flipping missile. Lumpy at low revs but definately not short of midrange. Lumpiness was tamed with a different map.
A very fast machine, in fact a little too fast really. It never liked going slowly.

Ta for the useful information. Will look at doing this over winter sometime.

Upgraded Cam Chain Tensioner? Mine rattles on start up too. What do I need to fix it?

did you get an answer? and where does the O2 sensor go?

Jez have you still got the Buell? What is/was it like, i,ve always admired them but have only ridden the XB models which sure were a bundle of fun. Just bought the X1 (had an XB9R for years then a 1125R for a while before). Always fancied a 'tuber' and found the right one that had been fettled prop...

I am sure that others may know this already but while a friend and I were working on his kit car, in our drive, this afternoon he noted that there was a broken pivot bolt on my R1100S that was parked up alongside where we were working. I had not noticed the problem when operating the stand. Seems, f...

Mmm, I am jealous and don't want to appear like its 'sour grapes', but £15 :?: That reeks of a rogues bargain to me, Is some poor bastard missing his R1100S and/or exhaust.......... Having chatted to the bloke, seen the photo of his R1100S on his phone and heard him talk about it fondly, I am compl...
