Greetings from a XS n00b

[Silk]

Just got a XS 1100LG (my first Yam) saw it and just had to have it. Its in a bit of a sorry state and I was going to ask loads of questions in here, but! they all seem to have been covered elsewhere in this forum Nice to see a well attended forum and I hope to spend many hours browsing for answers. So Greetings to every1, nice to be here

Welcome Aboard.

Yer first Yamaha; well, you sure got lucky. If you've got a good working area, and are fairly adept at mechanickin' and electrical >you'll very much appreciate this motorcycle. Pound for pound>dollar for dollar> no doubt the best scooter ever made by Yamaha.
......and, yes, it is a "well attended forum"; there's enough information in here, to overhaul a Ferrari .
Just be patient; it'll take some searchin'. It'll be worth your while to check out the links.

Picture sent, this is the state I picked it up in:/ I like to look after my bikes not ride em till they stop like this guy obviously did.
Actually I did wipe the wheels down a bit and found they were a nice gold color tho
