http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0609341197 Looks like a genuine, unmolested standard bike. Apart from the engine sprocket retaining nut, are there any other recalls on this model? It's registered after April, so I assume the DDFI calibration didn't need doing? Was there a shock recall on this one? What would be involved in swapping this to a carb? TIA, Mick. |

Thanks for the reply. Why would I want to swap FI for a carb? I like things I can take apart, put back together, and it works.  I have a fear of little black plastic boxes!  On the other hand, if it works well, then I wouldn't touch it. |

I can't see the link, but I thought the 2001 X1 was the only Buell with no recalls... |

I've dropped the Guy a mail. If I don't hear anything by the morning, I'll call. Can anyone recommend somone who could pick it up, it's in Wrexham, and deliver to Tamworth staffs? I want to see if he'll do it first though. I fancey a punt without viewing.......am I crazey? I bought the CCM unseen, had a good feeling for it after a phone call, and it was a minter. Maybe I'll be lucky again!

Mick, I'm a 'Black box phobic' too but I've several Buells, some are carbed, some FI. You can reset the TPS very easily with just a lap top - if I can do it, you certainly can. (There are many here who'd vouch for me as a IT retard ) Seriously, the FI works very well, it really won't be a problem.I live near Oswestry, very close to Wrexham, so if you need to borrow a bike trailer, I've got one you could loan I may know that bike ask if it's ever been owned by someone called Sian

Hi Adam, Thanks very much for the kind offer of a trailer. If the FI is good as it seems from the comments here, then I wouldn't mess with it. I set the TPS on my CCM with a multi meter! But that was the way the book said, but that also had a carb. For me swapping jets and doing a plug chop is easier than messing with a lap top!  If it's the bike you think it is, has it had a good life? I have a good feeling for it. It would be a shame to miss a good un for the sake of not being able to get over untill the end of January. I like the colour too. I'll have to wait and see what the fellow says. Cheers, Mick. |

Well, it looks like I just got myself an X1!  I just have to wait and see if it turns up. The fellow decided he didn't want a depost as intitially requested, afer we had a nice long chat today. So hopefully his word's as good as mine. Now, cant wait to start cutting! Does anyone have a set of springers they want to sell? |
