			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Over the winter I installed a new handlebar starter switch from MikesXS.  Worked fine.  Recently I did the carbs and still the switch worked fine.  The battery was old and crappy but it got the bile started with the charger connected.  Now the fun part - I put in a new battery, turned the key, pushed the start button and nuthin'.  Ignition and neutral lights came on, weak horn and signals so I connected the charger and still nothing with the key.  Shorted the solenoid with the key on and it fired up nicely.  Turned the key off and it just continued running.  Had to choke it to stop it.   Any words of wisdom out there?  Thanks in advance.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey, Team! Dragging up an old thread, and hoping to consolidate the info into this one here. My BS34 carbs work great. But, I'm contemplating going the ZRX1200 route, as I plan to keep the bike forever, so why not treat it to some modern carbs? I understand the following:<ul><li>The carbs need to be re-jetted</li>
<li>The carbs are not spaced perfectly, but close enough</li>
<li>The carbs need a choke kit fabbed and installed</li>
<li>The carbs need a vacuum port drilled (TAD's thread)</li>
</ul>My questions:<ol class="decimal"><li>What about the ACV system at the end of the carbs with the electrical connector? What do you do with that? Is there a block-off plate if you remove it?</li>
<li>Would the RS36 carbs from the Oz site be any better or worse than the ZRX carbs, besides cost savings on the ZRX carbs?</li>
<li>Is everyone staying with the modified single throttle cable, or did anyone go with a push/pull cable?</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Good Afternoon from a cold, blustery but sunny England.<br />
<br />
Has anyone had any joy in fitting an oil cooler to an early 1100. I have picked up the oil filter adapter plate, just keeping my eyes out for a cooler. I am also thinking about fitting a cooler from another model. The mounting brackets I can fabricate fairly easily, the hoses I can get made locally. Any suggestions? <br />
<br />

I couldn't find any video or instructions on the internet on how to do this.  I sure don't want to tear anything up since any kind of part for this old of a bike is hard to find.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Joe passed away yesterday. Got word last night, been in touch with his daughter who had posted her loss on Facebook. It's a huge loss for the XS community and his friends everywhere.<br />
<br />
He had moved to western Kansas a number of years ago after decades in Colorado, to enjoy the lower elevation and be closer to his daughter.<br />
<br />
His personal Facebook has a picture of his bike from 4 days ago out here in Colorado and a picture of a Colorado sunset. It does my heart good to know he had some time in Colorado right before his passing. I don't know if his passing was at home or in Colorado, will share those details when I have more info. Needless to say it was sudden.<br />
<br />
Joe was a member of every rally I've hosted out here since 2014, great friend and a better person. And man, could he ride a bike.<br />
<br />
Please post up memories here, I will pass them onto his daughter as she has already asked to share as many of those stories as possible. She knows how much he enjoyed riding and enjoyed his friends from this forum, and that means as much to her as it did to him.<br />
<br />
Ride safe all. Go take a Victory lap around the block for Joe if you can. &quot;Anything Yamaha is preferred&quot; as Joe would say, but he knew as well as we do that two wheels are better than any other wheels.<br />
<br />
Hope all are well and look forward to seeing folks post up here with their memories.<br />
<br />
RIP Joe!<br />
<br />
