Ok, so I have a 2009 XB12Ss, and a 1999 S3. The factory HP rating on them both is about the same. I know the '08+ had some upgrades - crank pin, DDFI3, oil pump... But, from the HP/torque perspective, are they pretty much the same motor (e.g. same heads, cams, compression...)? |

The two motors mentioned share nothing as far as I know. Possibly some gaskets and fasteners, but that would be it. For 2008, just about everything below the heads changed, and the XBs use different heads than the tubers. |

Ok, I just thought it strange that after a decade of evolution, they still had essentially the same HP rating from the factory... |

The HP may be the same but Buell really spent the R&D resources on refinement and reliability. |
