Nathan came by and we rode out, me on the Triumph..... Took a 10 minute loop, we shot the breeze, then it was time to load her up. My gut is still lodged in my throat, it was a truly sad day for Matt Malott. I could've sold it twice now, but I did a decent job of sniffing out chopper guys.... Nathan used to have an M2, and now he has this!   [IMG]http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k479/malott442/0918091500a.jpg[/IMG] I'm gonna go ride my triumph for a bit, to ease the pain. I will return one day, when the money is better. Maybe an S2...... Matt (Message edited by malott442 on September 18, 2009) | ||

Thanks for the post -- the wife keeps bugging me to sell the S3 now that we have the FJR -- I've been holding her off sighting the current depressed prices -- but your post makes me know how the day will feel if she wins out -- If you like to ride without wrenching it does take two bikes when you own a Buell -- | ||

Hi it's Nathan. Just happened to be on here looking for advice on torquing the axle and pinch for a front tire change and saw my name. Thanks for everything Matt, I will take good care of her. | ||

There's an online source to download the S1 manual. I'll see if I can find it. Front axle nut 48-53 ft-lbs 65.1-71.9 Nm LOCTITE THREADLOCKER 242 (blue), metric, page 2-6, page 2-10 Front axle pinch screw 13-15 ft-lbs 17.6-20.3 Nm metric, page 2-10 I won't say not to follow FSM, but I don't personally use loctite on the axle. | ||

Thanks man. One more thing what about the bolts that hold the caliper to the fork. Do they have a particular spec. | ||
