I love this bike! Love it soooooooo much more now that it has been converted to a carb vs. fuel injection. Funny thing is I did not buy the Cyclone new because it was not DDFI then 9 years later I convert to Carb on the X1W... http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/47623/634974.html?1306668927 (Message edited by weatherbyman on June 18, 2011) | ||

I made the conversion on my S3, big difference in power. | ||
| Preybird1 |
What kind of power sanders post up a dyno picture. I have my X1 built and custom mapped and dyno tuned. I am making more power also. I am getting 117 rwhp in 4th gear. I will post the dyno pic tonight when i get home. | ||
| Sanders |
I'm not making anything close to 117. At a recent dyno shootout I made 86 horsepower on a stock motor. | ||
| Sanders |
I should have added that before the conversion I was making 71rwhp. I'll admit my DDFI might not have been spot on. | ||
| Weatherbyman |
I am making 108rwHP and 92 ft-lbs at the rear easy without final tuning http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/634974.html?1306668927http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/634974.html?1306668927 | ||

Added a GPS Speedo... and NO there are no issues with a GPS Speedo... used all over there are NO issues moving to a GPS Speedo  | ||

how much do those gps speedos run???? | ||
| Sanders |
I like that speedo. Probably would have gone that route if I had known about them. I ended up using the Autometer Pro cycle gauges. Next time though... | ||
| Weatherbyman |
$160 to $300 check out speedhut Google them | ||

Weather, were did u get ur ign/timing cover? I dig the blacked out Pegasus. | ||
| Weatherbyman |
Red I made it.... has 1/4" vented aluminum plate behind it keeping my TwinTec ignition cool  | ||
| Red93stang |
Good work!! Maybe u should make a few and sell them. | ||
| 01x1buell |
i agree. i would buy one. and tell many people about them. | ||
| Preybird1 |
ok here is my dyno pic just before the final tune was done. this is only 4th gear as the clutch was letting go at WOT in 5th gear and the final tune got me to 117rwhp Rpm's raised to a max of 6900 any more and you risk grenading the crank.    this only a 1250 cc kit. Terry and firemanjim at JTSperformance rock!! | ||
| Weatherbyman |
Sweet! | ||
| Jacob83z28 |
So just a 1250 kit and a dyno tune? Thats awesome! Who did u get the 1250 kit from? Ive been thinking of putting a 1250 kit on my Cyclone. | ||
| Guell |
Yall might want to look at his profile, he has stage 2 xb heads | ||
| Weatherbyman |
Guell, that is right.. Stage II on his heads, I got 108+rwHP and 92+ft-lbs on plain old Thunderstorm Heads and Carb.... | ||
| Guell |
That is impressive, good numbers | ||
| Weatherbyman |
Thx Guell... yeah for "just" a 1250cc kit I love the fact I am laying down 92+ ft-lbs... the torque comes on strong and stays with the bike and no dump/dip like I had with the DDFI... I love the old school carb technology vs. the DDFI | ||
| Jacob83z28 |
Well both you guys have great looking bikes. I always wondered what kind of hp you could get from the 1250. Its something im saving $$ for. | ||
| Weatherbyman |
Thanks Jacob... the 1250cc is the way to go to maintain good street-ability while having a nice boost to rwHP and torque.. you can go a little up on cams and headwork to even better the standard 1250cc kit for a little extra... prior to the 1250 kit my rwHP was -19 rwHP, so I picked up a nice boost.. the torque improved as did the nice fat and flat dyno curves once I eliminated the DDFI and went to the Mitkuni Carb Conversion | ||
| Kalali |
"..before the conversion I was making 71rwhp..." From what I've seen/read here a properly dyno tuned (stock) X1 with slip-on exhaust and high-flow intake makes 82-86 rwHP and 74-78 lb-ft of rwTQ (Message edited by kalali on June 20, 2011) | ||
| Preybird1 |
I love these X1's also...I will never sell it.   | ||
| Blks1l |
I had converted my S3T to a carb several years ago, and couldn't be happier | ||
| Jacob83z28 |
This is what my Lightning looks like right now.   A work in progress..... | ||
| Jacob83z28 |
The Carbon Extremes are my fav of the Special Editions. I love the Pegasus in the carbon fly screen! 2nd on my list is the Millenium. | ||
| Weatherbyman |
Preybird, I have the same air horn but mine is tucked under my flyscreen and forward of the tach and speedo... it is very, very loud there and just as commanding.... nice tuck-away option.. "justsayin"... of course my EBOC is where you have your horn currently. Yeah, gotta love the X1's! -- just classy! |
