According to the new Fuell magazine (on page 15) my 02 S3T only comes with 91 hp. This is my 2nd S3T (the first being an 00) and I coulda swore Erik wanted my bike to have 101 hp with thunderstorm heads. Someone please tell me if I'm wrong. |

101 at the crank? 91 at the rear wheel? |

101 at the crank? 91 at the rear wheel? That isn't enough of a drop for crank vs. rear wheel hp. |

Sounds like a mistake. Weren't the carbed M2s only listed as 91HP (crank) and the fuel-injected X1s and S3s were 101HP? I noticed the XB9R thing myself. Only thing I can come up with is that they may have started production in late '01. Mine was a pretty early Firebolt, but it wasn't assembled until April, I think. |

I wouldn't worry about it unless it actually made your bike feel less powerful. |

Those years are introduction dates not Model Year dates. As for the HP they may have gotten it confused or a typo... |

I'm pretty sure the early S3T (97/98) was a non-thunderstorm bike. The first thunderstorm bike was the 98 S1W, and the first 101hp EFI bikes were 99 at which point the S3/T got the X1 motor. So..."as introduced" in 1997, the S3T was indeed a 91hp lightning-motored bike. |

98 S3/T were 101HP with TStorm heads. The S1WL and S3/T all came with TStorms in 98. M2s didn't get TStorms until... 99? but had the older "Lightning" cams keeping HP at 91. |

According to the specs in the owner's manual for my 99 S3, it is 101 HP |

99 was the first year for fuel injection, (S3/T, X1) second year for 101HP TStorm heads (all, I think). |

Don't misunderstand, I'm aware Buell claims 101 at the crank for my S3T. I was trying to be sarcastic about the typo. I don't mean to take anything away from the 91hp bikes either. I had a 96 S1 and it ROCKED !!!!! |
