I just bought a 98 motor for my 2000 x1 it does not have the hole drilled for the speedometer. Any ideas? There seems to be a place in the casting. Its just not milled out. Can I get it drilled for the sensor?

The 98 model would have had a drive on the front wheel and a speedo cable rather than the electronic arrangement as fitted to your X1, it could be done but at a fairly substancial cost I would imagine, also that 98 motor may be pre thunderstorm so not as powerfull as your original motor, good luck with the fix

They made Thunderstorm motors in 98, so it might be. I don't think it's that bad, I have a front drive mechanism you can have (just PM me). You will need a speedo cable, American Sport bike has them for less than $20 and I have seen speedometers for for $25 on eBay.
