I have a 2000x-1 with 13k on it I guess. clutch isn't slipping. I seems to shift hard, well atleast hard enough to go through a updated shifter 01update. I adjusted clutch which made it better but just not good enough for my likings. upon hard acceleration I find a false neutral between 2 and 3. It basically over shifts coming out of 1st, only on hard accerleration. I find myself being timely on shifting from 1st to 2nd to prevent the false neutral. basically it's a couple questions. 1. is there a change in shifter spring tension from 2000 to 2001 since there's a different style shifter, and I need to update that too. which in turn would make the hard shift. 2. Does my shifter paw need to be adjusted 3. should I change the shifter drum? american sport bike has a smooth shifter drum 4. @13k...change the clutch or simply could the clutch cause all this. It doesn't drag or slip. | ||

Brian, I don't believe there are any internal differences in the 2000 and 2001 transmissions. I put a 2001/2002 updated shifter on my 2000 S3 as soon as I got it (the original shifter was lost in a wreck) so I can't comment on how big of an improvement it is. Primary chain adjustment can affect shifting so check that too. Mobil-1 75W-90 synthetic gear oil is also said to improve shifting a lot (that's what I run). | ||

My second gear is starting to get "soft" on my 2000 X1. If I roll on the gas hard in second, it will hop out of gear. Anyone have any ideas? Chain seems ok and I always ran H-D's sporttrans. It has 53000 miles, perhaps it's simply wear? | ||

I was just hoping that there was some dumb trick that I hadn't heard of.  | ||

it seems no one has insight about the matter. | ||

natex it sound like your shifter paw is the culprit. It is what locks it in gear. I quess??? Yes, I'd say it is definitly wear. for you i'd be easy...clutch...smooth shift kit...new shifter paw, and youre off once again. (Message edited by roadrunnerrv on July 05, 2005) | ||

Nate, I've gotta ask... In your profile pic, your bike is dangling from a tree like a Buell-piņata. What's up with that; was it full of candy at the time? | ||

My belt poped on the way to work and my friend (signguyxb12) gave me a lift home in his pickup. When we got home, there was no ramp. There WAS a tree however. Unfortunately, there was no candy involved. | ||

hey nate, do you have any pics of your xlh? | ||
| Natexlh1000 |
Uhh let me go digging....  I'm in the middle of converting it to a CV40. I have to fab some brackets for it. The project that comes first is the X1 cherrybomb conversion. (I'll post that if it works out ) | ||

OH! I found a better pic. This is when it was freshly redone after the neon fool rearended me.  I think I was still working at EMCē and living with my parents! Note the plastic points cover with an LED installed for timing purposes. Also, nickel plated chain! ooooo!!! stylin'! | ||
