Buell X1 - Street Legal Dragbike
Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2005 5:42 am
Name: Carl E Sorman
The motive to choose MegaSquirt: Serious problems to tune the engine with “For Race Use Only ECU†and Power Commander. Knocks with warm engine and limited top rpm (6800).
Vehicle: Buell X 1 Lightning -01.
Model: Street Legal Dragbike. Strip set-up with velocity stack and Force 2 to 1 megaphone.
Engine: 1245 cc (76 CI). 2-cyl. Four stroke. Air cooled. V-twin Sportster, Millennium cylinders, Thunderstorm heads, Comp 13.2:1. Jim’s roller rockers and solid lifters. Red Shift cams.
Dyno figures: Power: 111.7 hp @ 7300 rpm. Torque: 118 Nm @ 5200 rpm.
Strip figures: ET 11.251 / 120.369 mph
MS settings: Alpha-N, 1 Squirt, Simultaneous, Four stroke, Cyl 2, TB, 2 Injectors, 250 kPa, Odd Fire.
Parts: Most injection parts are Buell stock items. New Bosch injectors and head temp sensor.
Ignition: Crane HI-4 single fire ignition. High performance coils and iridium plugs.
Behavior: Start up easily. Smooth and study idling. Nice throttle response. Engine running fine.
Miscellaneous: Have experience from using RB-Racing and Autronic injection systems on other bikes and must say that MS is fun to build and easy to install and tune.
Special thanks: To Eric Fahlgren for very quick answers on my trivial e-mail questions. Thanks to Roger Enns for EasyTherm and also thanks to Bruce & Al and all guys that made it possible to build a real good injection system for a few bucks.
