The screws are M4.

The last one, the branding iron i presume...:laugh:, is, of course, Zündapp! I had one when I was 16, a 1974 CS 50. It was my first motorized vehice in 1989, a 50cc 2-stroke! Like this one....

Nice looking bike man! :thumbsup:

After installing your new guides, I am pretty sure they require reaming. Like jd750ace already mentioned, do it by hand with a tap handle. You have more feel that way. It's pretty easy. And indeed, dont turn your reamer backwards!

Joe Bar is the Bible over here :D (I don't know if the Americans know this comic) I heard about the Stella Alpina last winter and immediatly thought this would be really nice to do with the XS. I will post pics of course!

Paranoid is a great album! Blue Cheer is one of my other favourites...

This bike started its life in 1975 as a police bike in Iran....

Hey Higgins, good to see another european member! I go to southern France and the French alpes in july. I am planning to ride to the Stella Alpina rally just over the border in Italy. Nice XS, have fun with it!

A rat bike is great for an everyday rider. People dont steal these when you park it in front of the pub and leave it there overnight when you end up drunk:D And who the f#%@ is Harley Davidson :confused:

:thumbsup: I agree..... Supercoven!!!! :rock:

It will not function unless you bleed it.

:D Great story! Are your filters still soaked with gas? If so, then your mixture is way too rich. I've been there, had a cracked inline filter leaking over my airfilter. It was very hard to start.

Thanks everyone! I think I will take some smaller jets with me, just to be shure.

I'm pretty shure it isn't a Koni. I've always used Konis on my bikes (where made in the Netherlands :D ) and this is what they look like.

Thanks Leo! I was worried that the mixture would become waaaay to rich at those higher altitudes. Where I live its flat as a pancake. I havent got any experience with riding in the mountains.

I'm planning a trip to the French and Italian alps for this summer. Has anybody of you got experience in riding an XS from sea level to an altitude up around 9000ft? Should I take some leaner main jets with me?

Nice seat! The velcro is a good idea!
