Guys,


I want to return my X1 to injection because I'm not very happy with the carb setup. I've ridden Dorske's stock X1 the other day and it performs A LOT better than my X1 with a Mikuni. Besides, injection is growing on me now and I think it'll be better to return the bike to stock.

There's a pair of S3 throttle bodies going on eBay in the US. Did the S3 have the same engine as the X1? Reason is because I also wanted to get the ECU from the guy and all the associated cabling.

TA!

Mich

Yes but the 99 and some early 2000 MY had a single sided butterfly shaft that was prone to breaking......and a 99 may not have a remote idle cable.

Why do I have a sense of foreboding at the thought of you messing with injection

......and the Mikuni should be much better than injection.....methinks the problem with your X1 will only be compounded if you ever manage to get the injection back on.

I'll give you a tenner for that crappy Mikuni.

I'll give you £11, because Mikunis are really shite

Maz is wrong there Mich. Your problem is the Mikuni. Fortunately I'm in a position to swap my Dynojetted CV carb for your Mikuni and give you 5 of those shiney £1 coins

What are you talking about Spook, a Mikuni is worth an extra 1.6hp, nearly 2% (if you could measure this and replicate the same start engine temperature between runs)....

Nowt to do with HP....Mikuni = instant throttle response and perfectly clean running from a cold start to a hot restart etc.....ie. flawless fuelling.
