  • Will a 1979 XS1100 tranny fit in a 1980 XS1100 Special?

    I found a transmission I want for my bike that appears to be in good shape and I just want to get it while it's on the market. This transmission is listed under 79 XS1100, and mine is a 1980 XS1100 Special. I figure the engines are no different so it should be fine, but I just want to be sure. My transmission grinds a little bit when I shift to 4th gear and has had 2 false neutrals in the last couple of months, so I want to grab this tranny now.

    All the parts on the Transmission microfiche for the 1979 'F' model are the same for the 1980 SG model - go ahead

    Be not stingy in what costs nothing as courtesy, counsel and countenance.

      Thank you. So pretty much all XS1100s are mechanically the same?
