    X1 1/4 mile times?

    I ran mine last week and you are getting a better time than I am. Best time is a 13.6 with a reaction time of about 0.06 seconds and all I have is a vance and hines pipe, no race tuning nothing. I run in Colorado at an elevation of about 4500 so your time seems to be pretty good, at least...

    X! with a high Idle

    Check your idle screw. I turned mine up over the winter so it would idle better in the cold weather but now that is has warmed up the idle is higher so I turned it down. It's a simple start before you delve in far.

    Front Brake Issue

    Today my brother took my bike (2000 X1 Lightning) to work where I was going to meet him after rounding up tools in my truck. I get to work and he tells me he dropped the bike. The reason he dropped it is because there is no front brake now and rather then hitting a car he laid it down at a slow...

    PLEASE HELP!!! Engine knock, low oil, blown oil cap

    I talked to my mechanic the other day and after he took a listen to it run for a few seconds he told me to check the compensator nut. Apparently they are notorious for coming loose and tend to make a knocking noise. I cracked into my primary yesterday to try and check that and found what was...

    PLEASE HELP!!! Engine knock, low oil, blown oil cap

    Thank you for the quick replies I am going to haul it to my mechanic and see what he thinks about the knock. I hope I don't have to rebuild the top end, sorry to hear that toolmaker98. The knock sounds like it coming from the rear of the engine almost to where the battery is housed and low down...

    PLEASE HELP!!! Engine knock, low oil, blown oil cap

    Hi all, I need a little help. I've owned my X1 for about 10 months now and have had no problems with it. The other day I was riding and I stopped at a stop sign turned and all of a sudden this horrible knocking sound started. I had not been having any problems at all, no knocks, no hard...

    Hey I am needing a new rear shock for a 2000 x1 as well. Where exactly did you find that shock from American Torque for 250? I need a new one BAD but don't have the cash to buy one of those $500+ ones. Let me know thank you.

    X1 rear shock

    I have a 2000 X1 and my rear shock is leaking, it's been leaking since I bought it 4 months ago actually. I was wondering if anyone could shine some insight into a good replacement shock, and will shocks from other models of buells work on my x1?

    x1 front brakes

    I found a site that said it was a 340mm stainless steel floating rotor. Here is the site that I found that at: http://www.theautochannel.com/vehicles/new/reviews/motorcycles/2000/abachofen_buell_x1_lightning.html. Hope this helped.

    2000 X1 keeps blowing the ignition fuse NEED HELP!!!

    Thanks to everyone that helped out on this one. I got the bike running this evening after a lot of brain storming and eliminating. It turned out to be the neutral switch wire was grounding out and when I replaced it fired right up without blowing the fuse. Thanks again all.

    2000 X1 keeps blowing the ignition fuse NEED HELP!!!

    Thanks for the advice. Since it keeps blowing the fuse I cant get it started at all. I did figure out the problem tho there are two diodes and the ignition diodes was bad. Finally found one at a local Chevy dealer.

    2000 X1 keeps blowing the ignition fuse NEED HELP!!!

    Hi I am new to Buell's. This is my first one, previously owned Suzuki crotch rockets. I washed my bike the other day and drove it maybe 300 feet and the bike died. Upon further inspection I found that the ignition fuse was blown. I replaced it, let the bike dry out for a complete day (80+ degree...
