    She awakes from her slumber..

    For a while I have been posting off and on about carbs/shudder at 2000 to 3000 revs. The Problem seems to have been cleared up. Does anyone remember Aachem's Razor? After a short conversation with Robert Reil, I chased the issue down to the vacuum advance. In one of the triple cleanings, I failed to clear the vacuum port for the advance from the #2 carb. That done, the scooter is a happy camper now, pulling cleanly from 1500 up, no matter what gear its in. I also put 120 main jets all the way across. Clymer's says that it should have had 110-120-120-110. I am running a k&n and Kerker. I also lowered the float level a tad, 21.5 cm in the-upside-down-and-backwards-with-holding-your tongue-in-the-right-way method, while I had the bowls off.

    I forgot how quick these things are for a 20 year old bike.

    Lets just hope it stays that way....

    Does anyone have a photo of the euro 1.1 fairing? I might just try to find one for the Midnight, if it will turn out right...

    Thanks for the inputs..

    It just so happens I took some brand new pictures of the 1.1 Sport as we have a nice sunny spring day today in SE England

    Amazing - the bike even looks clean!

    Some pics are here:

      Thanks for the reply, but the photos would not link and show up.

      Is the fairing attached to the bar via generic style clamps, or a specialty fitting to the hedlight bucket or what? I do like the looks, from what I see on the small photo on your post.

        XS 1.1 pictures

        Rats...

        Sorry about the pictures - will see what I can do.

        In the meantime, the fairing is bolted on a simple frame that surrounds the headlight, so ultimately suspended at the front yokes (triple clamps).

        If I can post them here in a day or two will give it a go

          I do appreciate your efforts. BTW this week here it will approach the low 80's, bright sun expected, you can guess what I'll be doing...

              Thanks for the know no borders roundabout way!

              Yep, I think I want one, anyone know where, and possibly how much?
