    Xs1200 ?????

    Expecting the worst for Bones. Phoned a guy i know, and he told me he has a XS1200 motor that he took out of a XS that was rear smashed. Everything is still good apart from a few scraes on the side. Apparently just a bolt-in with my old shaft.

    Can anyone give me any idea of what a XS1200 is. I tried the internet, and cannot find any trace of it.

    Any ideas?
    '79 XS1100 (2H9) named Bones
    1196 Big Bore
    4-1 Cowley exhaust
    750FD Conversion
    Echlin 54mm Racing Cones (Americanese = pods)
    Black Ebony Bottled glazed Tank (To be redone now)
    BMX footpegs
    Tank internally lined (Professionally this time)
    GSX400 Throttle bodies (Under serious investigation)
    Anti Sticky float bowl system

      Your not in the US. It could be an XJR 1200 maybe. Bolt right up, probably not. I think they were chain drive.
      Good luck,
      Dan

            Think person is full of bull, has not a clue, or both!
            81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.

              After reading your post on the fairings, I think the guy is confusing your bike/engine with a VMAX.

              XJ, XS, XV, aw hell I knew there was an X in there.

                Hey Athedra,

                Well, hopefully the guy knows what he's talking about and what he has. Have him read you the VIN # from the Clutch cover for sure. Wiseco makes 2 varieties of the big bore for the XS11, the smaller 1179cc version and the larger 1196=1200 version....so hopefully that is what he's calling an XS1200?

                81SH "Godzilla" . . .1179cc super-rat.
                79SF "The Teacher" . . .basket case!
                History shows again and again,
                How nature points out the folly of men!
