    Up and running

    Hello all! Just wanted to thank everyone for the advise/assistance as I struggled to get the electrical gremlins out of the machine. For now, it has been starting without issue. THe headlight problem turned out to be a problem with the owner - don't ask!

    My biggest concern it that I haven't actually found what was causing the problem, so a good chance it may come back. Hopefully it won't and I'll start to get some confidence in the machine - I have some big plans for it.

    You folks are the best!

    Regards

    Keith

    always good to see another XS11 owner get their beast roaring!! without the help on this site, I would not know most of what I have learned about these bikes.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

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

        Alright! Just remember that me and TC are minutes away and more than willing to help.
        Once John gets his bike running then all 4 of us can do a little group ride one weekend day.
        post up some pics once you get it all back together and show off that beauty.

          A group of four XS11's sounds good George - should get some notice! Hopefully have it all back together in a few days and I'll get some pictures!
