Sorry for my ignorance, but I couldn't find a comprehensive answer to my questions with the search function...

I am lusting after tubers again : ) I love having the fuel injection on my XB. I am looking for an S1 or X1- which ones had fuel injection? What years/models do I need to stick to in order to get fuel injection?

Just make sure the manifold o-rings are serviced and in good shape.

Cool, so is that the only tube frame model that got it- all S1s are carb'd?

X1 and S3/S3T (99-02) are fuel injected.

Yes, all S1's are carbed. Last S1 model year was 98.

Gotcha. Thanks for your help!

Hopefully soon I'll be posting more over here that in the XB forum : )

I think the fuel injection systems are quite a bit different between the tubers and the XB's. I didn't like the fact that when my bike was cold it wouldn't raise the RPM's to help it run, without me fiddling with the throttle.

Yeah they are quite different. I grew up building carb'd Chevy motors and always swore by the good ol carb. But these days I have a very good understanding of fuel injection systems and how to tune them- between the tweaking I've done on my truck, my XB and building an LT1 for my dad's Nova with a completely custom install, harness and computer. I swear by the injection systems for tweakability, reliability and tuning these days! I realize now that I only feared what I did not know.

I'm with ya' there. When I got my bike in '00 as a '99 left over the fuel injection wasn't even a consideration, I could take it or leave it but after having it so long I don't know if I could go back to a carb.
