A question if someone could explain to a numpty like me

- what Is the "crankcase negative vent system " mentioned on this lovely S1WL?

Cheers

two rubber pipes that connect to the (hideous looking) air filter
that suck crank case gases , then feed them back into the air filter(did i mention it looks hideous)
wrong colour tank looks wrong too (IMO, but hey what's that worth)

It doesn't hold together for me. Why go so far as to push a 1200 engine up to 1400, but not even go to an aftermarket shock? If he wanted a bike that would go and stop faster, he should have just bought something else and left an S1W alone. Also true that the intake and tank aren't helping, either.

Why go to all that trouble with go fast and stop fast without sorting handling and 'not riding it hard' defeats the object in my book.

Don't all S1WL have a polished alloy dash, or is that just mine.

Thanks for the explanation but what's the purpose - to reduce pressure on seals etc or is it emissions related ?

IMO The air filter fits in well with lines on bike - the traditional Forcewinder Everyone fits always looks out of synch with the Bike design - agree an AST would be a must but at $ 4800 - bike still looks a great deal - now where's my list for Santa

emissions related

TBH it's better to vent them to a catch can or atmosphere
stops the bike ingesting it's own puke , waste by products

Is it a good idea to have two different sorts of brake caliper on the same front end?

Are they not the same caliper?

Is that an airfilter on the side or a beehive?
Maybe the bees can reduce emissions by eating them and turning them into Carbon DiHoneycide.

I agree but come on .......anything looks better than that " Heath Robinson " style bit of plumbing - called a Forcewinder- even with a left over sock trying to disguise it

Not totally sure difficult to tell when its on the bike but I would rather have a matched set and lose the Buell one just to be sure along with the matching master cylinder

Bike's an ill-conceived POS IMO....all monies spent in wrong departments, no attention to detail etc........hasn't even had all recalls done
