You should also try to check the actual fluid level rather than just the float heights.

That's what I have also liked about Yamaha vs Honda

Also 10 years of improvements makes a big difference. However the XS2 has the classic feel when riding. Kinda like my Venture Royale...

1st and 2nd are rather high but once in 3rd - 6th it goes pretty good. Cruises very nice in 6th

Thanks

Hard to let them go with all the work put into them.

Nope not that rusty bucket. My avatar is this

Took my 72 out for a 40 mile spin today and decided to change the oil and inspect the bottom oil strainer. Everything looked great with...

Ya I would take it off his hands. It looked like a good base for starters

Oh ya never can have to much sealant even on the fork seals

Oh I forgot to mention I don't miss all the -20 deg days either.:)

Paint looks great. Man I do not miss the thunder storms (tornados, hail )we had in the midwest.

The XS2 crank ( and possibly XS1's, TX650) had weights that come loose and hit the rod which locks the crank. Common problem. Take a...

Wow that looks fantastic

???? What planet do you live on.

Yes Mid 40's all April here also. However next weekend looks great

Death can occur sitting in your Lazy Boy. Im more concerned about sliding down the black top and grinding my face away. Ya know i'm such...

Looks like a helmet thread is very similar to an oil or tire thread:D

Ya know once you do a XS2 nothing will quite match the thrill.

Im thinking this is what you need. For $30 im sure it will protect you just fine. You can also fit in with the HD crowd...

Got the XJ550 done and she is running good. Started this in middle of November. Now I'm starting on my friends 1968 DT1 250 while im...

They were probably great in the 55mph days. Probably coasted along at that speed just fine. My friend has both the 550 and 650 turbo.

WTH

Yes that FJ1100 would be one bike I would pick up if I found one in good condition.

Whaaat! Well at least you have ridden a few Nice find on the FJ
