Hi, I recently purchased a completely resotred 1980 XS 1100 Midnight Special. It had about 50 miles on it. The entire bike was completely restored to a Grey, Chrome, Light grey frame. It's sweet!
I want to get the oil changed and the transmission oil changed. Should I take it to the dealer ship? They want about $125.00 to do this. ALso, is it my imagination, or do these bikes seem like they need a 6th gear? I know aound 65 mph, at around 4,000 rpms, it seems like it's ready to shift. Unlike my old Vstar 1100. But, this also feels like you can crank the throttle and you'd better hold on as it want's to go over the 85 mph on the speedometer.
Thanks!
