  • Just did my first ride after fixing the brakes

    WOW! this xs1100 bike is fun. I striped all the full dress tour stuff and I like it much more. Brakes still not perfect, a little spongey in the front calipers, and the front forks are a little soft but, other than that im doing great.

    I cant get the reverse to work though.

    When in doubt, knock 'em out!

    I will not argue with idiots. They will only try to drag me down to their level and beat me with experience.

      Sound slike you need a little more bleeding out of the front brakes. Glad your getting to enjoy that fine machine!!
      Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

      When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

        you probly still have a little air in those calipers. it can be a real pain to get that last bit of air out of those.
