    Hello all,

    I am new to the XS1100 community. I just inheritated my dad's 1980 XS1100G and I am currently trying to "bring her up to speed". I have very little knowldege of the XS11 but a life time to learn. I appreciate any help you can give me along my journey and your patience as I learn the lingo and about the XS11.

    Pics coming soon...

    Thanks,

    Ben

    If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.

      Welcome to the forum! This is definitely the place for answers to your questions. If you don't already have one, you can get a manual from the link in my signature. Be sure to take your time, and READ like crazy on this site. Use the search tool and explore the tech tips, and you'll learn things you never thought you needed to know. Feel free to ask any question you might have about your bike, and you'll get answers, usually within the hour. This is a great site, with tons of REALLY great people.

      Not sure how far Olathe is from Kansas City, but there are lots of folks in that area willing to help.

        Thanks for the Welcome! I have updated my signature as suggested and have started reading the manual. As for Olathe, it is right outside Kansas City and considered by some to be a part of it. I'll have to look around for some close fellow enthusiast. I look forward the journey. Again, Thank you.
