Author Message   S2t_bama Posted on Sunday, June 12, 2011 - 06:03 pm:        Hi Everyone, Just checking in for the 1st time here. I just got my 1st Buell, a 1996 S2T. So far, I love it! I want to take proper care of this baby, so I have one quick question to start. I noticed one of the forks is leaking. Any tips on rebuilding? I will call the Huntsville dealer tomorrow about parts / etc. Thanks, Adam   Essmjay Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011 - 09:59 am:        Welcome to the forum Adam. There are not a lot of us S2 owners, but we are passionate about one of the best bikes ever built. Check out the Christmas in July thread. S2 gathering coming up quick. Shane   S2t_bama Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011 - 10:37 am:        Hi Shane, Thanks for the welcome! Unfortunately I can't make it to Christmas. I already have a trip to Deal's Gap on that weekend! I hope you all have a great time. Adam   Buellish Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011 - 02:27 pm:        Adam, For servicing the forks,you will need a spring compressor,a fork bleed tool or some other way to hold the damper assembly,a seal/bushing driver and a service manual. I was going to do mine on my '95 S2 recently and chickened out when I couldn't get the correct size seal driver at Traxxion Dynamics. http://www.traxxion.com/ So I had them do a standard fork service $150 + parts. Race Tech has the size needed for the WP fork,I just didn't want to wait for shipping. http://www.racetech.com/page.aspx?id=70&menuid=57   Ebutch Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011 - 05:27 pm:        Welcome Adam!!!!! Something for You to Watch!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW8tAKG4rr0   Jvv Posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - 12:56 am:        Hey........welcome.........enjoy your S2, it's a wonderful motorcycle!!! Ride safe...........Jack   Mtjm2 Posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - 01:27 pm:        Great video Ed , just missing the M2 . The S2 would be my 2nd choice to own , but can only do one for now , thanks again   Easy_rider Posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - 09:59 pm:        I rebuilt my forks without any of the special tools. I wish I had had a chance to talk to you first, Buellish. Then again, I still haven't ridden the first mile on mine. I will attest that a manual is a must if it didn't come with the bike! Welcome to the madness...   S2t_bama Posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - 11:20 pm:        Thanks for all the advice ( and the video! ). I have a manual on order. I will probably have more questions after it gets here. Adam   Velocity Posted on Wednesday, June 15, 2011 - 12:44 am:        Adam, send me some info so we can get you in the S2 registry, Include your VIN, color of the bike, your Signature Series documentation status, and any other information you may want to record about your S2 Thunderbolt Welcome to the madness Scott velocite@visuallink.com (Message edited by velocity on June 15, 2011)   Gowindward Posted on Wednesday, June 15, 2011 - 09:24 am:        Adam, Welcome to the club.
