Hey everyone,
i have a bike that I bought recently that's got an S&S motor (2001 I think) bit I'm struggling to find much info about it as an amalgamation of an S&S engine with Patrick Racing pistons and barrels and Arlen Ness covers.
Anyone have any suggestions of forums where I could get some info on S&S motors? (Google doesn't seem to helping much)
I would say ,just call the factory .It looks like you are in England though .My bike has a 4 X 4 100 inch S & S we built in 2003.It vibrates way less than anything else I have owned in over 50 years of riding, excellent power ,as in not being beat but once, by a lighter 126 inch powered bike. Is it reliable ? Yes it is .Replaced a bent push rod 7 years ago. That's it. So now you know a little about S & S.Not bragging. The engine is a very soundly engineered. No S&s did the engineering .
I phoned the S&S factory and the teck department looked up the serial number on the motor and told me every thing about it along with some additional advice. Very helpful great service
Hello I just bought rhis bike and heard some people talking about s&s motors I know it's an s&s super stock I looked up vin on there site and it didn't give me very much info can any one tell me more about it?
I have the111in V-Series with automatic Compression Release Valves and my question is, are automatic and manual Compression Release Valves basically interchangeable? Not that I would want to switch back and forth but, I'm kinda partial to using that starter push-button, as I understand that in order to be wired correctly so the valves open and close while starting it isn't possible to use the starter button, I use a momentary button on my coil bracket.
