It's not that WE X1 owners should have our own thread but the M2+S1 threads serve no purpose and should be deleted/discontinued.

We Tubers ALL have a thread.It's called
"Old School Buell"

Wish it were true,but it aint. M2&S1 thech IS different and in many ways NOT related. FI v carb, suspension , body. And yet there's the tubes. Can't we all just get along?

Maybe individual threads based on color, not model. We all know some colors run better than others.

most of the bits on the EX - ONE are common to the S3 EXCEPT for that lovely frame plate thingy

Carbonfiber is the fastest color.

Yes! Carbon is indeed the fastest, especially a Carbon X1. No need to get our own thread. I like seeing all tubers in one spot.

Actually, an X1 specific folder is a great idea. You and the S3 guys have some pretty specific issues that should have a centralized forum.

It's inevitable now that the S2 and M2 folders are going great guns.

Where do the "X1 injection on an M2 with bodywork from an S1, but a wireharness from an S3, and a forcewinder and XB rockerboxes and I replaced every sensor without diagnosing any of them and it still won't start" guys go?

BTW, I'm for leaving it all open, i.e. no folders. Because many of us have owned at one time or another, many models and may be able to offer advice or opinions that are relevant, even though we aren't rolling that particular model at the moment.

Besides, diagnosis is a procedure that isn't as model-specific as most think. That cam position sensor diagnosis for your X1? Look under the ignition sensor pickup for an M2 in the book, and you'll find it's word-for-word.
Model-specific experience can help, but is not required.

It would be different if there were many posts each day. Most days there are less than 10. I have an S1 but have helped many other owners based on my experience. Leave it the way it is.
