- The XS11 project begins! We walk around this classic bike, go over the repair plan and do an evaluation. Cylinder #4 has 190 psi compression. What the heck? Let's find out what's going on! Video #1.
Nice crudely old bear , best bike i ever rid in the wet so predictable you could slide it in on brakes and out on power ! but it would only do 130 .
Xs11's have always had 2nd gear issues. I got a old 1980G model. excellent bike when you get them sorted.
A mate of mine had an XS, Excess in every dimension we called it. He could get a wheelie out of it but that was a BIG old girl. I ended up borrowing it to go to the Isle of Man TT’s in 83 having T boned my GS750 into a Honda Civic the year before. Great memories, not so much the crash, that nearly killed me, but the XS. Lol.
Geez Kevin, why'd you go and wreck a perfectly good vintage Civic like that? hehehe. Glad you aren't worm food from that ordeal. Funny thing, around the same time my older brother drove what was a brand-new Civic (think his was an '81 maybe??). Anyway, funny story, he lived in Rhode Island at the time, I went to visit him driving my 1969 Chrysler 300 convertible because it was during the summer. Anyway, that's when he was buying the Civic so I drove him to the local Honda car dealer, and while he was doing his business I was out in the lot kicking tires. Sales guy made the mistake of asking me if I was interested in anything. I told him, I wouldn't drive one of these tinker toys. So he got defensive and asked, "what do you drive?" I pointed to the 300. He just walked away... True story. Cheers.
Does the original shortened Xs1100S pipes fit to the xs1100 frame???
Unsure. I’m not that familiar with the model regarding mods.
He said, "circus manual" huh huh huh
Looks like oil rings lost all pre-tension and/or stem seals.
Yep. If the stem seals aren't wasted, then we'll have to pull the cylinder block and do the extra work. Either way, head has to come off. Cheers.
@@MotoRestoFL Cheers ! Original ringset 3J21161000 is still available for these if you need it. Looking fwd to a follow-up. Keep up the good work !
