That is now www.XS11.club I don't believe xs11.com has support any longer.

First, the bike is not mine. I'm cross posting to this forum for another enthusiast and friend. The original post came from XS650.com...
I understand that, and that's why I thought it was funny. I'm sorry if it isn't.
I saw this posted on another forum and I just could not help myself. [ATTACH]
Once again, I have to say how lucky this community is to have a parts provider at the level of XJ4ever. The quality of the reproduction parts and...
That is a very nice bike at a nice price. Faded gauges are a non issue. Joel Levine Company can make them new. At the price on that bike, you...
[IMG] XS400, correct? [IMG] XJ400? I always believed the XJ400 was twin cam and has nothing to in common with the XS. I thought like XS650...
Me too! I've got a cancer on my face and my surgery appointment keeps backing up. I'm not shaving until it's time to get it done, or I have to...
Those tire sizes are only loosely accurate. Some 110 tires fit. Some will fit, but you can't fit a fart between the tire and the fender. Others...
I'm lucky enough to be able to work at home. All that commuting time is mine. No gasoline expense. We can't go out to dinner. No social...
http://vintageconnections.com has the goods to fix you up as well. They have connectors, pins, and tools. Glue in the connector will make it a...
Those white plastic connectors are available here: http://xj4ever.com/catalog/d-4-wiring.html A terminal tool will be helpful. [IMG]
Yes, check it at the coils. Corrosion in the connections can cause voltage drops.
The XJ1100 got electronic advance, and in turn, eliminated those issues.
I just went through this. My XS1100 was getting 24 mpg. I replaced the needle jets (emulsion tubes) and the jet needles sourced from a lower...
If you're happy with the Dunlop 404, buy them again! Opinions on tires are personal and varied. You looked at the ratings and that should show...
I'm suspicious of them being 1979 or older. Yamaha Mikunis had steel tops beginning with 1980. Search Suzuki GS carburetors.
Yes it is. First and easiest solution might be to replace the carburetor body. On mine, I had the post welded. Finding someone to do that could...
Stinging nettle root is anti-inflammatory. I take it for enlarged prostate. It has allowed me to get off medication. I can’t be sure if it will...
My doc office called me yesterday to tell me they called in Rx I need to be on. I need to find another doc. I'm done with treating symptoms....
This is why so many shops won't work on old bikes. First, the techs don't know how. Second, they're stuck with the machine when the bill gets...
Turmeric, 500mg morning and 500mg evening will give you some relief without side effects. I also take stinging nettle root. I have removed...
Ignition is slightly different. XS alternator has no brushes. The XS doesn’t have YICS. Frames may or may not be the same, for sure they’re tabbed...
Meal selection reminder The Iron Horse will be emailing you their Dinner Menu options for Friday night & Saturday night. Iron Horse will be...
Wow! I see two very pretty old bikes.
That's very interesting. I had not noted that. I even made a BLOB solder repair in a driveway once upon a time. If you still have the wire, cut...
I just called the Iron Horse. They have the #200 Semi-Private Cabin available for $89.95. Twin beds so 2 people and split the cost if you are...
You got it! The XS11 is now almost bullet proof. The only troublesome thing are those pick-up coil wires. Once properly fixed, they stay that...
Demands are high at my job, so I have to do this with a minimum of time off. My XS1100 is hopefully going to make the journey. It has been...
Me too! From here, I can go to Central Florida for relief from the heat in the summer. I'm on the edge of that great big ditch. I'm sure winter...
Mine is just getting ready to start. It's still way too hot in Mississippi. My first excursion is a couple weeks away.
Check the vent in your gas cap. The filter may have rotted and plugged it up. Without a vent you will run out of gas on a full tank.
The ignition was breaking up when it got warmed up, and worse when it got hot. It was an uneven miss. My plan is the put a few hours in the...
This week, I purchased a coil kit from them. The kit comes with complete instructions, leaving nothing to chance. Coils come prewired, and...
This is great data to have. XS11.com is currently unmoderated. It appears rudderless and perhaps the whole thing could disappear without...
Yep. That will do it. It looks pretty much like what I installed on mine. Just don't mess up the timing in the process. The chain may fall off...
I never get a whole lot of miles from any tire. The Pirelli is a good value in my book. I completed an order for new ones just moments ago. YMMV
I use the Pirelli 66 over and over and over again. I need to order another pair this evening. It's a strong performer. [IMG]
What I did with mine was use an automatic tensioner from another model. I believe mine is for a Vision or some such thing. I believe the early...
You get mechanical advance when you crack the throttle and RPM climbs. The vacuum advance will operate at cruise. The vacuum advance should...
The shirt sale comes down on the 31st. That means this is the last week. Support your rally. Get it now!
Check Partzilla or your favorite OEM parts source. The vacuum pot may still be available.
We're bringing some hats. We printed enough to sell 100% of them. When you come to the rally, you'll have to find me and I can sell you one. If...
Thanks, Mark! This is what it's all about. Put some faces with screen names. Make it personal.
There will be no shirt sale at the rally. You buy one now. You'll get it at the rally. The sale ends the last day of August. We won't print...
August 11 update. [ATTACH]
Keep in mind that acid treatment will eat good metal as well as the rust. I’ve used the phosphoric acid treatment and it works well. Follow up...
