    Well, not really new. Been here awhile just never posted. I own a mini XS, okay it's an XJ750RH. Bought it as a parts bike about 6 months ago, but just couldn't stand the thought of stripping it down and parting it out. (I just love the older bikes.) Well after a couple hundred dollars, and a few hours turning wrenches, i've got it rebuilt and ready for the road. Now I'm in the process of getting it titled and registered so that I can put it on the road. Still needs a paint job, but that can wait until winter. You've got a great site here, lots of useful information, even for my bike.

    Yep! These guys are the best. While my XS1100LG is in great mechanical shap I did the same thing and used the info from this site to get a XJ650 Maxim running the way it should.

    WOW!!! it's May three bike running and no mechanical issues to deal with on any of the now it's time for cosmetics.

      Welcome.
      Most problems discussed here are common to all bikes. Specifics may be different, but the techniques are the same.

          Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

          You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!
