Looking forward to seeing you.

I have a 10 foot roll of Tygon fuel line in my tool box. Best fuel line I've found for these bikes or any other for that matter.Greg

Got the bike back on the road. Got new fuel lines no filters this time. When for a ride some back roads and then hit the highway
Yea it runs. Filled up with some non elthon gas at wawa. Not cheap 3.50 a gallon80 xs1100GComment

Glad the bike is running well again!!Not cheap 3.50 a gallon
Don't cry about fuel prices, though. Here in Can'taffordya I'm paying about $4.00 per gallon, and there is no such thing as "ethanol free" gas! I CAN buy racing gas in 5 gallon buckets, about $65 per.
NOT legal on the roads, and a little higher octane than the bike really likes.

So, what was the culprit after all? The gas line? The coils?Skids (Sid Hansen)
