That cheep you can just keep it around to go steal somebody's chopper drunk at the bar

Thanks to Disclaimer's help almost 6 years later, I was able to figure out the issue with my X1! For those of you that may find this post looking for an answer like I was, try this repair first. Here is what I found.. I just recently got the bike and this just started happening when the weather got colder here in TX. My X1 has an aftermarket K&N filter with short ram air intake tube. The issue with the tube though is it doesn't have a hole for the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, so the previous owner zip tied the IAT to the frame. And since there is no Mass Airflow sensor, this input is very important that it's accurate. With it zip tied to the frame, it was seeing ambient temp which is much lower than intake temp when it's freezing outside, especially at idle. So, I put a cloth over the sensor and held it in my hand to warm it up and after about a minute the ECM started to adjust everything back to normal and my bike ran great! As soon as I took my hand off and it started to change temperature again, it started to run crappy again but still much better than it was IF it even stayed running. It may be that the sensor is faulty too like in Disclaimer's case, so I am buying the stock intake tube with the bung for the IAT and using the K&N filter with a new IAT sensor. Also, if you look at the Forcewinder intake kit, it still utilizes the IAT sensor in the actual intake, so they knew what they were doing but it's $350 so I will make my own version for now.

HELP ME, GET THROUGH...TODAY. THE DAY MY CHILD TOOK HIS OWN LIFE. HELP ME, GET THROUGH...THE PAIN. HELP ME, GET THROUGH...THE MEMORIES. HELP ME, GET THROUGH...THE STARES, FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. HELP ME, GET THROUGH...THE TEARS, I AM SURE TO SHED TODAY. HELP ME, GET THROUGH...THE FEELINGS, I AM GOING TO FEEL TODAY, THE PAIN, THE ANGER, THE DISBELIEF, THE WONDERING WHY? HELP ME, GET THROUGH...JUST TODAY. 14 years ago today my wife called me at work and said "Jer....You need to come home.....now". Our oldest Daughter made the decision to no longer walk this planet. Our lives have forever been changed and the ramifications from what she did still show their ugliness almost daily to those that new her. My Heart bleeds the most for my Wife her Sister and the 3 Kids she left behind. I pray that she found the peace she was looking for and that someday we that were left to deal with the situation find ours. I miss you Christy and love you.....big as the sky !!
