my buddy has this '01 X-1 that he wants to sell me. A screw came out of the air intake and went right into the rear cylinder. I found a guy to weld and grind the head back to spec and do a valve job, and I obviously need a new piston.

The cams are out, but I have everything in a box.

What kind of headache am I looking at?
Better to have a shop install everything? Just don't wanna get raped!!!

I've worked on my old Truimph, but it's a wee bit different...:)

if your just going back to stock I don't see you having any trouble if you did all your own work before.

these motors aren't that difficult to work on, get a manual and look at the procedures and then see how you feel about tackling this rebuild.

Chris

Follow the manual or look for some of CJBurr's how to's. There are a good number of people here who have done a great job photographing every step of their rebuilds.

If you rebuilt that tractor then you can do this

If you rebuilt that tractor then you can do this

nope...not my tractor...

Thats' where the bike is being stored until I make up my mind.

He wants $1500 for it...even if I had to put another 1k in it, I'd only be 2500 in a streetable bike!

well I payed 1700 for mine and put 1000 into it and I'm happy with it (well I will be when I fix my charging problems)

sounds like a good price if that's all thats wrong with it.

you should seriously get a manual and look at the procedures to get it back running.

with the right tools and the parts you're probably within 8 hours of riding it

1500 is a great price. You should be able to fix it for a lot less than a grand if you economize and spend your money wisely. Ebay is a great source of replacement parts when you are on a budget.

Seems like a good price. The rest of it looks to be in good condition.

You need to box it up and ship it to me for free.... so I
can dispose of it properly for you.

made the deal today....

after xmas, I plan on getting into it!

Thanks guys....you'll be seeing more questions from me, I'm sure!

:D

I'll take it if you don't want it.

Want your money back? Ill take it to!!!!
