Bought a X1 White Lightning in September 2001, a 2002 model. Paid for racing engine management unit, Vance & Hince and air filter. The racing management system was never installed as the dealer couldn't get it running. After many other problems I have with this machine, I am now in South Africa (just btw), I have been battling with it for 3 years now running from one dealer to the next without getting to a solution. The bike starts fine in the morning and would run about 10 miles, backfire a couple of times and die. Leaving for 45 minutes to an hour, during which it just would not start, itt would fire up again, run 1 or 2 miles, backfire and quit again and just won't start for at least 45 minutes

Check your primary coil if it is ok the problem is your cdi unit try to replaced it with good one.
