    Hi, I am new to the XS11 forum and I thought I would post a thread to say hi and introduce myself. I have a 1980 XS1100G Standard. I have been riding for over 20 years, I rode a FJ12 for many years, a couple of GSXR's and a ZRX11 to name a few. Five years ago I bought a Roadstar but I had to sell it to pay some bills (four kids in hockey). I have always been a Yamaha fan, and always wanted an XS11; I really like UJM concept. I pulled the trigger and bought one thinking that it will be an economical way to get back into riding. I am in the process of getting some photos on-line I assume I have to post them to photobucket?). I live south of Ottawa Ontario. Thanks.

          WELCOME to the Forums, James!

          You are in the right place to learn about all things XS11 ...

          Yes, to add photos to your posts here, you must first create an account on a photo-hosting site (i.e. Photobucket).

          You can then upload your pics to Photobucket. Next, you "copy and paste" the image code from that pic into an open line in your post here.

          We all love pics!

            Welcome James this is the best resource for what ever problems you may encounter people here will help with most anything to do with the XS11.
            To fix the problem one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.
