I just bought a '99 X1. It has serious hesitation with the throttle open. Usually accelerates a little, then about 1-2 seconds pause before it continues. Has anyone else experienced this? I read about similar problems but they were on dead posts on other boards. I took it to a HD dealership (AD farrow) and they pretty much blew me off. but not before keeping the bike for 2 weeks and charging me for an idle control | ||

could be back pressure. when i rode my x1 without the muffler it would do the same thing. i would go full throttle and then after about a second the bike would do its little go,stop,go,stop thing and then after that it was good again. i put the muffler on and no hesitation. does it do it in all gears> if i remember correctly it only did it to me in 1st, but its been a while since i have rode the bike without a muffler | ||

it does it in every gear. I'm looking into finding stock headers and exhaust, someone else said the exhaust my be the problem. | ||

It could really be anything. Just guessing, I would lean toward the exhaust or a sensor. I assume you have aftermarket cannister/headers? That by itself would not be a problem, if anything the bike should run better. Run a diagnostic, might do the trick. | ||

This really sounds like a TPS issue to me. When was the last time it was reset? | ||
| Skylinedr |
I don't know if it was reset when the Vance pipe was put on, I do have stock headers though. I'm going to call the HD dealership and ask them about reseting it, hopefully they'll be somewhat friendly this time. | ||

| Skylinedr |
Nope, definitely no cough | ||

Skyliner, I THINK that a TPS reset will fix your problem. I had a somewhat SIMILAR problem with my 99X1. TPS reset and now has NO PROBLEMS at all Matt. | ||

Do you still have a stock ECM on the '99? I was told that the '99 ECM was garbage b/c it was the first FI year. Thinking about purchasing the race ECM. | ||

Hey Skyliner, Get the race ecm you will love it. Once you get it then have them reset your TPS. Wade | ||

Does it do it at a specific rpm? Mine has the race ecm, pro series exhaust, and force intake and at just below 3000 RPM at WOT it will have a weak spot. Maybe that's what you're feeling. In my case its a slight lean area at that rpm. If it was tps related it would do it as soon as you roll on from any rpm. |
