My X1 starts fine, runs strong when accelerating. It seems to slightly surge when driving at a steady freeway speed, and acts like it is loading up when just driving around town. When I come to a stop it will back fire through the intake, not always just once in a while. The injectors were cleaned 5k ago, I replaced the engine temp and ATI sensor. I have a force wind intake system. Any suggestions? |

Checked the intake seals? Exhaust leaks? Air filter clean? How's the fuel filter? Start with the easy to check stuff. Mine was doing similar things, turned out I had a bad intake seal and a bad set of exhaust gaskets. The intakes dry up over the years and will play all hell with your tune. |

Intake seals are new and no exhaust leaks. I'll check the fuel filter. |

SO, I checked the trouble codes VIA a cable link. It flashed 13 Oxy sensor. I looked and found a big crack in my header almost all the way around the oxy sensor! I used some space tape to seal it up and am going to change the oxy sensor and try it out. I will let you know. it is the same as a ford 302 oxy sensor right? |

I removed the header and muffler, Buell does not have a very good header mounting system? It looks like a failure waiting to happen..... I'll order new exhaust gaskets, weld the crack in the header and replace the oxy sensor. |
