Fired it up and road it today.

@ToyFarmNH Sorry didnt see you posted a question. I can dig up some pictures if you like.

Ill give it a try sure would be alot easier than pulling the clutch cover off. And thanks again. And if any one has a xs1100 id like to ask some questions about the right side rear axle spacer that is missing on a bike here were working on. thanks

What is the cause of clutch plates sticking together? I just had this start this summer. I don’t ride the xs that often and as of late after I start it up and put it in first gear it will kill the motor and lurch forward. I have to rock it back and forth a few times to get it freed up then it...

thats interesting, thanks

I knew someone from xs650 would chime in. you guys are great. Been awhile since I been on here. I been building a xj550 chopper as of late and hanging out on the xj forum. Im still riding my xs now and then and its been a great ride. Had lots of help here on xs650 building it and rebuilding the...

Hi folks, my son is working on a friends xt250 dual sport 1982. The lights kept blowing out and were trying to sort out the cause. This particular bike has no battery runs off a mag. at the Im not sure what its technical name is flywheel or stator im not sure. But there are 3 coils 2 are...

Not intending to hijack. If anyone wants me to take this somewhere else let me know. Im helping my son with a 1100 like the one I see in your picture. The carbs are leaking bad. He cleaned them and they still leaked, we took them apart today took the needle and seats apart and cleaned they are...

Yours would not take up much storage space when not in use.

Someone gave me this plastic dirt bike tank works great. I also have my home made ward stick syncer attached to the angle iron stand i made to hold it all.

Thanks guys with all the info. The difference of the front fork axle placement is like that of my xj Maxim vs Seca. From the book he has(Clymer) manual the picture is terrible but on page 1 of chapter 9 rear suspension and final drive you can not tell from the assembly picture but page 3 clearly...

1979 thanks for the interest. My son just told me he figured it out late last night. I do appreciate it

Hi guys, my son got a xs1100 some time back. There is a gap in the rear axle like its missing some parts. Ive read on the xs11 site that there is a special washer? for one or the other models. He ordered a used axle and it had a spacer, nut and a seal that slips over the spacer. When he tied to...

My son just removed the rust from inside his tank with red apple cider vinegar. But it is more expensive that baking soda and battery charger method.

I'm in.

I like my vr115 system, I recently put one on my sons friends cb750. And I need to add that it was here on this site I gained the most help in doing it. Thanks goes to the good guys here on xs650.com

Thanks Fred, I will make sure he un caps those. I believe its 79 but as to model Im not sure.

Hi all, my son has a xs1100 he got a few months back. He has been picking away at getting it running. Today he put the tank on and hooked up the carbs. He found the right side petcock is bad so he capped off it and put a T in the line to supply both carbs. Im wondering if he has the gas lines...

5t, ya it runs fine. I had to think about it. I may have got it wrong off the top of my head without looking at the diagram I used. I ran from my fuse block a 7.5 fuse to the kill switch then to coil and pamco . I used a schematic I got from wiring diagrams on this site. The diagram does not...

I think your 7.5 amp fuse is in wrong place. I put one of the 6 fuse box in mine. the fuse box gets its power from a main toggle switch so the 7.5 amp fuse goes up to my kill switch and back down to red wire (switched power) for the pamco. I can kill power to ignition from either the main toggle...
