Hey All, I rescued an old X1 over the weekend, and need some parts & advice. It has been a long time since i have messed with a tuber. This thing has about every aftermarket bit made, from the 530-Chain conversion to Crossroads clip-ons, but has been very neglected. I am in the process of stripping it down to do a thorough cleaning and inspection. Backstory was that it was taken to a Harley dealer some time ago for service, who replaced the TPS, and some other parts, and it hasn't run since. Previous Owners added a bunch of neon tubes and strobe lights, and the wiring was worse than anything i have ever seen. The battery was also shot, so i didnt even bother ECMspying it prior to disassembly. When i pulled the intake, i noticed that the throttle plate was about 25% open, with a 3/4" gap between the adjuster screw and the throttle tab, so i am guessing they put the wrong TPS in, or didnt clock it properly. I seem to recall something about the tabs in the replacement TPS not lining up properly. The American Sport Bike Carbon undertail has been drilled/cut like swiss cheese for all of the neons and wires, so it is basically junk. So far, the parts list isnt bad: Need: Chin fairing, Set of Rider Pegs, Undertail (partial trade for a CF paperweight ?) It also has a Crossroads Clip-on Kit, with a broken left bar. If anyone needs the center piece or a right hand bar, these wont be going back on. Appreciate any help or tips. --Nick   | ||

Great looking bike! sucks it hasn't been run, but hopefully you got a good price on it. Some nice shiny stuff on there. | ||

Wow. What dealership "helped out" with that TPS install? | ||

So, the bike is back together and runs like a champ. Was able to pick up a couple needed bits to finish it out. The rear shock is leaking and has become a pogo. Searched through what i could, but cant find much info. Anyone have solid info on rebuilding these or am i stuck saving for a $$$ shock? | ||

Not sure there's a reliable source for rebuilding the stock shocks, but I could be wrong. Anything aftermarket (Penske, Twin, or - if you can find one - a Works) can be rebuilt. Penske is nice but overkill for street use; Works is nice, but they've stopped production. Twin has picked up their slack but they're UK based. Can always take the VIN to a HD dealer and see if the shock recall was ever performed. If not...they're required to honor it. Worth a shot. | ||

Harley dealer + hasn't run since. Checks out. | ||

The stock rear shock can be re-build its time consuming. I did a writeup in the KV years ago. |
