Hey guys thinking about putting new plugs and wires on my 01 X1 lightning. Whats your suggestions and experiance? Also thinking about putting a Single Fire coil on. Does this give better performance? Will it throw codes on my ECM? Suggestions, part numbers?

I use the buell "high performance" wires. They are 8mm, and orange in color. For plugs, I'm running NGK. No real noticeable performance difference over stock.

i've tried many different combos of plug wires and plugs (FYI for those who don't already know, plugs are same as V-rod plugs and wires are the same as 1999 HD Dyna for our FI bikes... but double cheak with your parts dealer before ordering : D)

the only one that I saw on the dyno that made a difference was the gold 10R12 V-rod plug with stock buell wires... almost 3 extra RWHP!!! but what I found out... the gold plate wears off after about a seasons worth of ridding...

but even when comparing the best set ups agenst the worst... I could never notice a difference with the "butt dyno"... all seemed the same... but the accel plug wires did make my bike run the roughest.

right now I run stock coil, stock wires, and stock plugs... seems to work out just fine.



are there any aftermarket coils for our bikes?

X1's are DDFI, which is single fire.

I have two sets of the FI orange plug wires I need to get rid of. Brand new.

So does anyone know if the 02 M2's are Single Fire? I have a feeling they are...And so do a couple good mechanics around here...

I have had good luck with the iridium plugs from ngk and the buell pro wires in blue, I love anything with buell or the Pegasus symbol on them

This links has saved some serious money the 20% off is totally awesome. You can get the new $450.00 buell jacket for $350.00. I just bought a rear XB cylinder head for $296.00 and traded it for a fully built stage 2 xl head that retails for $382.00 bare with no valve train parts!
