So I just picked up a 2000 x1 millennium edition and am loving it so far. Already put new brass shifter bushings in.

I have done a lot of searching, but I havnt been able to find the answers to the following questions.

1) how can I mount fatbars to my bike? I had mx bars on my r6 streetfighter project and miss those.
2) I think I need fuel injector since the bike sat for a while and it still hesitates even though the injectors were cleaned. The po suggested they may be corroded. All sensors are brand new. Where can I get a set of new injectors?
3) is the force winder the only real replacement for the huge plastic intake? Has anyone made there own? I want that look but don't like the price tag...

I'm sure I have others but this is all I can remember at the moment.
 
i use these with my fat bars-

as for injectors, i may be wrong, but i think you can use ford bosch fuel injectors... not positive though. Would look into it.

As for the forcewinder.. i made my own. I found an elbow on ebay for a carbed harley. Bought a coned filter and then modded my throttle body mount. I ground 3 slots in it and then welded nuts to the back side. These line up with the 3 bolt holes on the elbow. I then Counter sunk the factory holes and used flat faced allen bolts to mount to the throttle body. Then a gasket and then the elbow bolts right to the throttle body bracket. Works GREAT.. I have maybe $40 into it.
 
Do those clamps replace the existing top clamp or do yo have to modify the existing lower clamp in any way?

I think I'm gonna try and make my own intake now. I saw your bike on custom fingers and hat is part o the reason I bough. An x1 over an xb (that and I go a great deal...)

Going back to the injectors, I rode the bike for around an hour today and I am almost leaning towards bad mapping. I heard there were problems with the oem ECM mapping on he early bikes. I'm thinkin his might be the culprit in the stuttering. I have an ECM spy cable and am thinking about getting he race tune. Anyone know where I can download it?
 
I have a 99 race tune i can send you but i am not 100% if it will work on a 2000....

ill have to look at my X1 upper... but those bar mounts should bolt right on. They do on my XB upper... you dont mod anything.
 
Aweaome. I'll have to look into getting a set.

I don't see why the ECM from a ''99 would be different from. 2000. The motors are the same...
 
I have the same problem with my 99 x1 sputtering. Only seems to happen at 3k rpm. Every now and then the engine hesitates but I have gotten use to this. Want to fix it but don't know how and I have other projects to do on the bike. I know this doesn't help but just wanted you to know you are not alone.
 
Try running a 10 ga. (I think it was 10) wire from the neg terminal on the coil directly to neg battery post. Theres a write up on it in the diy section.
