I’ll work on a video tomorrow thanks Al thanks I’ll check that …

Hey all, been out of circulation for a while…story in itself, but when riding my sons green XS1 (vin 256) it has a weird whirring noise mainly from the left hand side. It runs great although-running out of puff at about 60 mph …… Id read somewhere a long time ago that this engine is prone to...

pick me .....

yes please...

yes I accept the nomination, although Im humbled by the quality of the work done by others compared to my meagre efforts.

hey all, I recently found a very decent true barn find 1972 XS2 with only 10,204 miles on the clock. It had the usual rattle-can black paint on everything, body filler in the nut-dents in the tank, a rotten seat and frozen brakes but ultimately it will look nice beside our XS1 in mint green and...
