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.

Its a 2001, should have all recalls done ... that's a nice looking bike. If it has the standard exhaust, speak to Albert

The FI on the X1 is very good, why would you want to swap

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...

You'll know if it stops working - esp in Mallorca.

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?
