I just picked this up from one of my friends. Just over 13K on it. What should I look for other than fluids and that sort of thing? Are there any little things that need to be taken care of on these? It seems to be pretty solid.

Tires

Also it needs tires, what are a good set for the bike. I'm toying with the idea of putting White-walls on it. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Nice scoot!

What should you do other than change fluids? Ride it hard, man.

Whitewalls are for Harleys!!!
Tires with Raised White Letters...yeah, but not WW's!!

Go to the Main Forum page, scroll down to the MISC section, and look for the thread about what to look for in a neglected XS11!!

Looks like it's been well cared for, but they still AGE!! Rubber parts specifically, along with the electrical connections getting corroded. Check the date stamps on the tires..dry rot not good! Please take some time and peruse ALL of the tech tips from the MAIN FORUM PAGE, and you'll learn lots about your machine!!

Yeah that's kind of what I thought. BW it is. All the seals just got done and the plugs are about a month old. I helped him do it.

Those fork braces work pretty well? I noticed that the front wheel is pretty unstable in tight turns.

Fork Brace

The TKAT fork brace will make a lot of differance in the handling. Highly recomend it Nice looking bike! Enjoy
