Not impressed.. watch Hugh's videos
Ummmm, sorry to say this, but mine doesn't clatter like that, or stumble on throttle blip, and it's wore-out. (Dang-it, post a video or it never happened, gotta learn how to do that...)
I'm probably too jaded from listening to all the out of tune bikes posted on youtube. Some of them are chronically mistimed or out of balance.
lets hear a proper one then TwoMany get a video up lad

Shows what I know. I have only heard my XS run for a few minutes and it had a dead cylinder at the time. So, my impression of a proper running twin is a bit off. 
Yeah, the youtube site is awash with 'whut's wrong with my bike' videos.

Peanut, I think we're on to something here.
Washed/waxed my truck last week. Then pulled it out of the carport to make room for XS1B video, made a smartphone mount for my tripod, set it up, rolled out the bike, and it started to rain. Hard...
Modified Texican raindance. Yeah!
Tried a couple of videos, but if I posted them folks would comment "Your bike sounds like heavy rain on a tin roof!".
So, while waiting for it to dry-up, here's one with a serial number very close to my used-up model:

How are you guys posting these videos?
Great videos and twomany's, I believe, can't see past posts while posting, is beautiful.

Oh ok using a PC and YouTube. I get it. I use my phone or tablet for everything out of convenience and never touch the PC anymore. This lacks some features. I'll figure it out. Thanks carbon.
