    Following that other thread I'd forgotten about the leaking tee issue that you found, glad you sorted it out. For anyone else looking in, one of these is a good investment to get the floats set right the first time.

      Not true. They sell genuine Mikuni brass, and they also sell aftermarket brass. Take care to be sure what you're buying. I also use Niche Cycle for Mikuni brass. They're fast responders.

      XJ4Ever.com has reproduction needles and emulsion tubes for the XS1100. I think that covers it.

        I had the same issue for a few years before a easy modification. I switched the rubber tip needles to the solid ones . No more problems
        Slow down and enjoy life. If you are in that much of a hurry, you should have left eariler.
