    Hi Shannon and welcome,
    if you are new to bikes, be careful with the XS11 once it's running (excuse me, runnin).
    That bike has serious power and can get real scary real quick.

          Welcome to THE site for XS1100's!!
          Looking at your handle, I would say you live in Sharidan, TX. That's just a guess from some old hippy type dude out in Can'taffordya.
          Check CatatonicBugs link in his signature for a manual, if you need one. And if you ARE new to bikes, PLEASE take the Motorcycle Safety Course! the things you learn WILL save your life.
