    Xb9sXBUELLXb9sX's - 2000 Buell X1 Lightning Build Thread

    And ever since I've had the bike, I hated how the head breathers were routed. The setup caused a small amount of oil, overtime, to drip through the filter and onto the engine/exhaust. So I added a catch can.

    With basically a brand new intake track, I put everything back together. Ran great, even better than before!

    I ended up finding a decent intake manifold on eBay to replace the cracked manifold. Has a couple small dents on the injector inlets, but they are purely cosmetic and do not effect the seals on the injectors.

    Xb9sXBUELLXb9sX's - 2000 Buell X1 Lightning Build Thread

    But of course, it still can't be that easy... When I removed the intake manifold, I noticed a lot of epoxy and J-B weld. That kind of stuff really bothers me so I removed some of it to inspect the manifold. I discovered a large crack on the throttle body side, going all the way through the...

    Xb9sXBUELLXb9sX's - 2000 Buell X1 Lightning Build Thread

    I figured since I was removing the entire intake track, I'd replace all the seals and even purchased a new fuel rail. This included new james gaskets "blue" intake seals, air cleaner gaskets, manifold and throttle body seals, and injector o-rings. Basically every seal/o-ring between the air...

    But, nothing can ever be that simple... Without the bracket installed, the throttle body rotated downward quite a bit. To installed the intake bracket, I had to rotate it back up. When I started it back up and went for a ride, it was blatantly obvious the the install broke the seal on the...

    Thought I'd jump back on here and give an update. I was cleaning the X1 a while ago, and noticed that when the previous owner installed the forcewinder intake, they removed the intake bracket. So I purchased a replacement to install.

    Here's how she sits for now. I've updated everything that needed to be fixed immediately, and she's back on the road. Needs a couple more small updates such as the oil pump gear and a new rear shock, but I'll be waiting a bit before I tackle these items. I have big plans for this bike, but I...

    Looks like Dean was alluding to something... Well, I finally picked out an exhaust and decided to go with the best! I ordered a Dean Adams Designs Tuber exhaust. This thing is very well built, looks great and sounds even better. A little on the louder side, but that isn't a bad thing, one...

    X1 Lightning rear shock front mount

    I know the OEM shock had a recall/upgrade form the 16" to the 14.7" rear shock with included the upgraded shorter front shock mount. This upgrade has benefits when upgrading to the shorter OEM shock. But, is there any benefit in upgrading the front mount to the shorter bracket when upgrading to...

    And I got bored, so I decided to polish up the headers a bit. Not bad 18 years of tarnish and an hours worth of work.

    Even replaced the old Z-Bracket!

    Next, I replaced the old front exhaust mount with the updated wishbone style mount. Much Beefier!!!

    Buttoned it all back up and filled with Harley Davidson Primary Oil, as recommended by Energy One. Even opted for some chrome case bolts for a little extra bling.

    It all installed easily and I opted for the 15% stronger diaphragm spring because I like a stiff clutch.

    And the clutch plates and spring plate, as well as the basket, looked great. It could have lasted quite a while longer, but replacement is cheap insurance.

    The clutch came out easy with the supplied clutch tool.

    Xb9sXBUELLXb9sX's - 2000 Buell X1 Lightning Build Thread

    Well, with some advice in the previous posts, I decided to take the primary cover back off and replace the clutch with an extra plate clutch kit from Energy One Performance. Though the mileage on this engine is much less than the typical failure point on the grenade plate [I found anywhere...
