OK, well I took a few weeks off from messing with the X1. And we had a bit of a break in the weather so I got a new AGM battery and installed it hoping to road test everything. And to my surprise, it doesn't start. It spins over super-fast and it will cough once but that's it. I rechecked the pump(ok) rechecked the filter(ok too) still replaced it with a see-thru one. I pulled the plugs hoping they'd be fouled. Nope! dry as a bone. I rechecked fuel pressure, 50psi(good) looked at the plugs while it cranked (huge sparks) good also. I looked at all fuses and tested both relays under the seat(both good). What am I missing? I had it hooked up to a car battery temporarily and it would start up fine. I only did this for testing/tuning purposes seeing how it wasn't road ready yet. However, i did have a problem before I put the actual bike battery on it. It wouldn't start with the big battery a week ago either. I figured I had messed with the fast idle screw too much. I had it in the garage and it was 40ish in there so it fired up around 13-1,400rpm then I'd idle it down to around 900 -1,000 once it warmed up. So does the TPS affect the injectors at all? I do not know what else it could be. Like I said, all the basic stuff checks out. But the fuel is not getting to the cylinders. :(
 
yes, and they get plugged up too, did it crank before you changed the filter? May have dislodged a piece of trash and plugged them up, not sure if you can pull the injectors and see if they are firing/squirting, but might be worth a shot,
 
Uly. It ran really nice up until a few weeks back. I had wanted to change filter but gas was clean and it wasn't junked up. So I left it. It always started up fine. The old pump was rusted up so I replaced it/flushed the tank and checked filter. After new pump/regulator she fired right up! I though plugs were fouled, they're dry a a bone. I saw really large blue arcs from them so they work too. Not sure if kickstand switch is bad or something else. when you key it on the check eng light comes on for 2 secs then goes out. Nothing out of the ordinary. I really want to ride this thing.....
 
The Old Injectors are in need of removing and testing ,the Fuell line will need to be removed with the injector and see if they are clogged. or if the injector has gone bad. Check your Electrical Connections First in that area. Yes check your Small Things First. Then before you Remove the Injectors Use a Small amount of Fuell to Help you start it Poured down the Throttle Body. A SMALL amount. Safety is a must here.
Check every Fuell related area on the Bike up to the injectors. If fuell is there then Removal of the injectors is needed to verfiy Function.Please do NOT use Either Spray it can Damage the plugs and Valves and Rings.Also last resort check your Electronics, and Grounds Hope it is an easy fix.*Jimi
 
Well I think I may have just messed up the idle adjustment or something. Cause its running like a raped ape now!!!!
