1995 Buell S2 Thunderbolt Recalls

The 1995 Buell S2 Thunderbolt has 7 recalls, the most serious involving fuel leaks, a rear shock absorber that can break and drop the underside of the bike onto the road, and a swingarm that can fracture without warning.

Starting with the fuel system, gasoline can seep from the fuel cell at seams or where the fuel valve attaches, and a separate issue with the fuel tank valve assembly can cause the carburetor to overflow fuel, raising the risk of fire, or starve the engine of fuel and cause it to stall. In a collision, the fuel tank mount can fail to hold the tank in place, allowing it to separate from the motorcycle. On the suspension side, both the rear shock absorber eye and the swingarm can break, either of which can cause sudden loss of handling control. There is also a structural concern where the fairing mount bracket can crack and let the fairing shift forward and contact the front fender, distracting the rider. The remaining recall covers a labeling compliance issue on the wheels, which are missing required tire and rim information.

At a glance

What can fail

The fuel tank valve assembly can become plugged, causing the carburetor to overflow fuel or restricting fuel flow. On certain M2 Cyclone models, a component may block airflow into the carburetor's float bowl, causing similar overflow or fuel flow problems.

What the fix does

The fuel tank vent valve assembly will be replaced. M2 Cyclone models will have the float bowl assembly inspected and corrected if needed for proper venting.
