I got my X1 last may. It ran pretty good all year. I took it in December to get some work done to it and it would not start. I fouled the plugs trying to start it. The dealer put new plugs in it and it ran fine. Now it seems when I start it it will not run good cold. It feels the it is running on one cylinder. Once warm it is ok. It does seem to stumble when I jump on the throttle from idle. When the dealer replaced the plugs they told me the best plugs are the factory ones. I kind of think that is not true. I really do not know what was in it when I bought it. The bike has every race product on it from buell. What is the best spark plug I can get? I think I might need a hotter one, but unsure.
