'99 X-1, 4000 miles. installed race air filter, supertrapp internal disc pipe. seemed to be running fine until I pushed it hard; 95mph+. Engine light came on and stayed on. Pulled plugs, burning perfectly. Starts but idle sounds off. I have to hold throttle for a bit until it war4ms up or it will shut down.Vibrating.Could this be ECM issue? Ran perfectly before mods. Thanks Bros.

First, check for engine codes. If you get a series of codes, for lots of different problems, the most likely culprit is the 02 sensor going off script. They can go bad without throwing an 02 fault code. Bosch 12014 sensor from the auto parts store works.

If one or two separate codes, work on those.

Hope this helps, Dave

First, sincere apologies to Thunderlust and the BadWeB. Every place my previous post says 02 sensor, it should read Engine Temp Sensor.

My bad. And I did not misspeak, I was wrong. I woke up in the middle of the night going "Yikes, that's wrong".

I had the engine light/cascade of fault codes on my 01 X-1. Many thanks to Al at American Sport Bike for his help on that one.

Again, Sorry! Dave

Thank you. I deeply appreciate your reply.


Did you find the codes? What were they? Need help to retrieve them?

Dave,
I bought a code tool from Lance at NewCAstle. Have not gotten out to the garage to work on it yet. I have new ETS, O2 sensor so I'm ready to rock. Someone mentioned I would need a special deep 1/2" socket with a slot cut in the side for the wire. Also mentioned that Proto made one. Called Proto today, they had no clue.

The X1 motors will run REALLY wonky with a bad ETS. You can check it with the scanner, the parameter is the ETS voltage. Don't remember the values off the top of my head but it should change quickly as the engine warms up. If not, replace the sensor.
Yup, you need a funky socket to pull and replace it..

'01-'02 are located "down the chimney" in the center of the rocker box so to speak, the '99-00 the engine temp sensor is on the left side of the rear head, no special tools required to replace.
