Any oil pan from the XS XJ 1100 will work. The XJ will have an extra goodie in them...it's an oil level indicator switch, but the switch will not work on an XS, because we don't have that ability.

Usually doesn't work worth a crap in an XJ either!

In the meanwhile why don't you wrap the threads with that plumbers vinyl thread tape, it will help seize the threads and seal the oil leak. This way while waiting for a replacement, you can ride the wind.

All the XS11s use the same oil pan. Same size, same gasket. As noted, the XJ pan will also fit, but uses an oil level sensor that is not present in the XS11 pans.
