I WAS WANTING TO PICK EVERYONES BRAIN HERE. MY BUELL (2001 X1)WAS RUNNING FINE THIS AFTERNOON, THEN WHEN I WENT TO GO FOR MY NIGHT TIME RIDE, IT WAS OKAY FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, I LEANED INTO THE THROTTLE, AND NOW IT IS MISSFIRING BADLY ABOVE 3500 RPM, WITH NO POWER. THERE IS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON, I SWITCHED ECM'S BACK TO STOCK, AND NOTHING. IT ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE A ODD BURNING TYPE SMELL, BUT I CANNOT PINPOINT IT. I WAS THINKING THE WORST (BAD VALVE/SPRING-ETC), BUT I AM HOPING FOR SOMETHING SIMPLER/COMMON. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THANKS- MIKE

Good one, Blake.

Mzoo:
Most likely a failed sensor (ET or 02). Take it to a dealer so they can extract the trouble code(s) from the ECM.

I got home today and started to work on it. The first thing I did was pull the plugs, and both electrodes were collapsed! So it's off to the store to buy some new ones, but first I have to figure out how that happened.
Thanks
Mike.
p.s.- hey look ma, not all caps!

The electrodes on the plugs were collapsed?
You might check piston/plug clearance before you try that again.

Check your plug numbers. Are they Buell plugs or NGK or another brand. They might be the same thread size but may be a longer thread and may have came in contact with the piston. Or the previous owner just really sucked at plug gappin ;)
