So, this may be an idiotic thought, but those fuel lines into the octupus have some tight bends. Is it possible that one or more are bent so much they are restricting fuel flow and that the full tank adds just enough pressure to force the fuel through them? Any other thoughts, suggestions are welcome.

I've read enough threads on the topic to make it a side project. I ordered a Chinese jet kit to try various size mains (aiming for 135/140), and pilots. I'll leave everything else alone. I bought a universal choke kit, and I'll try to mount it into the airbox (I understand the box needs to slide forward, so prepared for that). From there, I'll follow Tad's thread on the vacuum advance mod, and take it slow so I drill it out correctly.

I hope to have this completed over the next month.

Eric, BikerPhil, Jonathan, Don, Robert and me.

We had a great time. No bike issues. No issues with other vehicles.
Did have to do some braking for wildlife wandering onto the road. Dogs & large Birds etc. (had never seen a 10 ft alligator get runover by a pickup truck) Leaving Everglade City pickup truck nailed a 10' gator that darted onto the southbound lane.
Good it was a Pickup Truck and not a car -or- motorcycle. That would have splat the biker and really ticked off the alligator.

Will post a few pictures taken during the week ...........

I have been riddled with problems trying to work on my bike. I have a 1982 Yamaha XS1100. I can’t lookup the bike at Autozone or O’Reilly’s. I can’t find a manual. I’m struggling to believe this thing even exists! Haha

I am currently looking for a wiring diagram. My lights are on the fritz, the gauge cluster isn’t functioning properly, and it’s a mess under the seat.

I’m looking for any help or direction as to finding a solution! Thanks!!

I'm finally replacing the 80s tires on my XS1100 with some new ones. The front tire that was on it had a tube in there. These wheels don't /look/ like tube type wheels but googling it I get mixed results. Are these meant to have a tube?]]> XS11/XJ11 Discussion OldGreyBeast https://xs11.club/forum/idle-talk-forum/xs11-xj11-discussion/890398-79-xs1100-special-tire-replacement-are-these-tube-or-tubeless-type-wheels
