SS2r on an X1.

Bullett slip on muffler 

Got a reply today from Rick at Bullett and he said the 
bullett slip on muffler fits the X1 and clears the chin 
fairing. Black is $150.00 with free shipping in the USA.

FYI: I added a Vance & Hines to my X1 about 3 weeks ago and the 
performance increase has been well worth the money and 45 min. 
it took me to install it. The downside has been the no idle 
when cold (1st 5 min.)and backfire(lots and at all rpm). The 
first thing I thought was there must be a problem with the 
O2 sensor,or the ECM (a little joke). Anyway I exited the 
breathers out of the air-box to under the rear of the bike. 
I finished up with a crankcase air filter from Fram #ba3812. 
Big difference, I dont think the FI liked the venting at all 
and if you change your exhaust, change the venting with it. 
I did look into the crank vent,couldn't part with the money.

3. My dealer is putting together some X-1s with S3 fairings (nice combo): 

. . .
All: My dealer has started doing some X-1's with S3T fairing conversions. 
They put one on the floor Saturday and it sold in 10 min. Reactor Yellow 
and it looked AWESOME!

Dana--I trimmed about 3/4's of an inch off the bottom of the tail 
piece and put the top tag screws inside the storage area. Put a 
license frame with LED's in it for a redundant tail light. 
Small change but very noticable!--Getting to the top bolts 
inside the tailpiece is tough. Solve the theft problem-I also 
just got done installing a Thunderpage alarm in the X1-Works great! 
Pages me if someone is even near the bike-takes the worry out of 
the diner stops!

I've recently bought an X1 Lightning and heard of a few people 
installing s3t handle bars for added comfort. 
Are any changes to the wiring or hydraulic lines needed 
to install these bars? 
Thanks for any replys.

By Kerry on Saturday, February 13, 1999 - 08:18 pm:

Peter: S3T bars fit the X1. All wiring, throttle and idle cables are 
the same as well as the brake line. You will have to reroute some of 
the wiring behind the bars (especially the clutch switch) but everything 
works. Also, the S3T bars control locating holes will have to be 
redrilled to properly locate your grips, master cylinder and clutch. 
Easiest way is to wrap the new bars with masking tape, install the 
controls and just snug up the screws. When you remove the controls 
the precise location to drill the bars for the locating pin will be 
easy to see dimpled into the tape. Get a new left side grip to make it 
easier too! Was well worth the effort and fits Luanne's riding 
style perfectly.

: I am determined to get at least 100 rear wheel hp out of my 99 X1. I
: realize head work, pipes, intake, ignition are needed. I am wondering 
: if anyone has the lowdown on some larger injectors? Single or duel fire?
: and just any information on the fuel injection (more than what you read
: in magazines). and possibly any DDFI hacking. What can I safely raise 
: the compression ratio to? I am one of the lucky one's as I have full use 
: of a dyno. Just needing to know where to start. any information will 
: be helpful.

Hey guy! The good news is that it can be done. The bad news is that the
software to re-map the ECM is not readily available yet. I am going to a
meeting with Erik Buell in Febuary and he and I have already talked about 
it once before. When I know, everybody will know. The ECM is the limiting
factor. I will keep you posted though because last time I talked to Erik 
he mentioned us doing some R&D on the X1. Hope I helped!
Thanks and God bless.

Just spent the afternoon installing my V & H carbon fibre 
muff on my X1...the bracket positioned the muff in a downward 
angle..def not parallel with the shock can...jumped on the M2 
(38 degrees) and blasted to the shop for mods..also gave me a 
chance to re-acquaint myself to the broken-in Alum V&H 
sound..hiway allowed speed to 110..feels good again..finished 
installation and went for a blast..Comin' off a light, clutch 
already out..on the gas hard..IT STOOD UP..it never did that 
before..what a freakin' blast..hesitation still exists at steady 
throttle..BUT I DON'T DO THAT TOO OFTEN NO MORE..5 hours later 
I'm still giddy..can't wait for a NEW MODULE.. 

re: Vance and Hines Exhaust for the X1

Hi Chris..ya..the X1 was the one that stood [ he means throttle 
only wheelies] ..makin' me laugh thinkin' about it!!. . . I'm 
definately happier with the performance of the X1..still needs 
a new map on that FI though. These shitboxes seem to need alot 
of fuel to be happy...so, I can only imagine what a "fat" map 
would do.....do the pipe..you'll be happy..what pipe you thinkin' 
about? This c/f V&H looks the balls...shortened up the rear 
mount by at least 2"...looks more pro..bike also looked pretty 
mean without chin spoiler!..already threw away all rear wheel 
plastic,belt/sprocket crap... "nothin' " is lighter and cheaper 
than carbon fibre..makes bike look "lighter"..might keep it 
off...let me know what you get and how it goes!
Hank

I forgot,
My filter element was loose, too.
The K&N filter fits better, ironic, isn't it?
Performance wise I couldn't tell a difference
but I hope that will change when we get a tuneable
ECM. I can't wait to get rid of the !@#$% Buell part.

Re: Staintune Exhaust

Chris, they have spec'd out an X1 and we hope to have something
in a month or two. I would ask that you check back with
me in around a month to see where we stand.

Chris: re missing X1 tank mount tabs 

...mine are also missing...Manchester HD (NH) had to replace 
tank on my X1 due to faulty vent line causing collapse of fuel
cell..i had removed the cover myself..trying to find out why 
cap was now 1/2 inch below cover...when i went to dealer and 
inspected other bikes, i realized i was missing 2 mounts...
dealer made calls to Buell...was told export models needed 
to meet additional regulations..so...earlier models don't have
mount... 
F.I. Woes...e@mailed Dynojet..new module is used in conjunction
w/ stock module..no price yet... 
New V & H carbon fibre due this week...wonder how bad it will 
run now? 
Last trip to dealer cost me $260 for speeding ticket testing
the new tank and pump...anyone have a fix for the wildly 
optimistic speedo...shows 140 @ 6000..don't feel it..think 
maybe 125 - 130...anyone? 
Carbon cover is $450..chin spoiler $325..nothin' weighs 
less...costs less too!

Dear Sir:
    We just received an X1 yesterday, the preliminary dyno result passed
across my desk today. At 3,500 RPM our slip on produced 10 more ft.lbs 
over stock, and 8 more horsepower, maintaining this result throughout 
the rev range. R&D will continue throughout the week as the biggest 
problem is recalibration of the fuel injection. As the results are being 
finalized I will have a dyno sheet for you at a later period. Please 
be patient.
    Your message has been forwarded to my supervisor, Ed Tejeras, at
extension 122.

New Stuff 

I got my "The Road Ahead" newsletter from Buell today. 
Says they have a carbon fiber tank cover P# 61598-99Y 
and chin fairing ready to go. No prices shown. I am 
waiting for the right combination of performance parts
before I buy parts for looks though. 

X1 Frame Defect 

X1 owners should check the front most section of the 
tank cover for missing frame tabs. What? Yes, my 
frame is missing two metal tabs that all the other 
X1s in the dealership have. They are about 1 inch 
wide and 1 inch tall. These tabs are welded to the 
top of the frame. The tank cover has bolts that run 
through the cover and through the tabs. These tabs 
keep the front of the fuel cell and its cover from 
bouncing up and down at certain RPMs. My tabs are 
missing and the entire fuel cell assembly bounces off
the frame at low RPMs. My dealer is having a machine 
shop fabricate something to fix the problem, and Buell
is going to reimburse them. I have an earlier X1,,, #286.

Chris!! thanks for your email!! Got some great stuff for the X-1!!! 
Our Racewinder Ram Air is just being finsished up for the X-1 and 
will be ready to ship this week. We also have the Streetgfighter Race 
pipe a complete race header for the X-1. We also carry Vance and Hines 
for the X-1 also. I'll send over some attachments for you!! Get back 
with me with any questions on pricing, performance etc. thanks much!!! 

Also our pipes are available with Jet Hot coating [I almost forgot 
to tell you!!!} We are working on carbon fiber trim pieces that will 
go on the "tank" and make it look "factory" after installing the 
Racewinder. the Force sidewinder/Forcewinder will be ready shortly 
too for the X-1. as we are working on the sensor cover now!! should 
be a good year for the X-1 owners!! Dynojet's remappping kit should 
be avail shortly too!!! Stay tuned!!!!


Johnny Lightning Force Motor Products Inc.

Chris thanks for your email [ again] !! All we have right now is 
the dyno testing we've done on the '98's as we'll be doing the 
'99 's nest week if the Buells stock sensors will cooperate. You 
[WE] are gonna need a reamapping kit from Dynojet [ email Mike 
Daniels at Dynojet for info] in order to get the '99 fuelies to 
run right with aftermarket modifications. I will guarantee you 
this though, our Streetfighter Race Pipe will out perform
all of the exhausts on the market on the carb Buells and the 
same specs were incorporated into the fuelie pipes!!! Wait for 
the nest issue of Battle2win to come out in about 3 weeks and see 
what they have to say about it. but we can make you a smokin deal 
on a Vance and Hines if you'd like!!! Keep in touch and we'll keep 
you posted on the latest developments in the Buell 
exhausts. Thanks again for your interest , , , and 
keep in touch!!! Johnny

Lightning Force Motor Products Inc.


Chris!!! Sorry this took so long gettin back to you but our seever 
went down and all our mail got messed up but I think everything is 
going ok now!!! Form our experience with the x-1s so far you WILL 
need a remapping kit for the fuel injection to make any aftermarket 
mods to the intake or exhaust work properly!! Dynojet, and I hear 
Vance and Hines are both working on such kits and should be avail 
able shortly. Meanwhile are Racewinder RAM AIR and the Forcewinder 
are just being finished up to work on the fuel injection. We've done 
the X-1 pipe but without being able to recalibrate so much acn be 
expected! But with the kits WATCH OUT!! Johnny
