so I know this isn't xs11.com but I've had a lot better input on here so I'm hoping for some luck. I bought this bike (79' xs1100 standard) and the guy I got it off really was doing some weird stuff with the wiring , I know it turns over and runs just fine by jumping it from the solenoid. I...

I'm posting in here for my xs11 for this is where I've gotten the most help. Anyhow, I picked up a 79 xs11 a while back, it's missing the keys and I've been trying to Hotwire it (I have the ownership papers just haven't spent the money on a new key or ignition yet) , but I'm pretty dumb when it...

Does anyone know if theres a standard for brake line inside diameters with Yamaha? I need to buy a length of the cable but theres two diameters to choose from and I was hoping to not have to chop my brake line while I wait for the parts to come in for it since its not detrimental. I tried to...

Yamaha Ct2 or Ct1 1972 idle issues (2 stroke problems) To my understanding the bike I have is a 1972 yamaha ct1, the engine case shows this but the carburetor in the book is shown differently. Anyhow whenever I start the bike the idle goes off all crazy and revs up to what i would say is like...

If anyone has spare parts lying around or knows of somewhere I can buy this I would be grateful, Ive checked all the scrap yards around me and found nothing, cant find a brake caliper matching close enough to use. Thanks for any help!

Now I know this is an xs400 forum but I don't know anywhere else to ask , I have been fixing up an old enduro (ct1 175) it's a 1972, fun bike anyways , it runs fine until I've been riding for about 10-15, minutes and all of a sudden it will just sputter out and die , it won't start again unless...

In an attempt to bleed my front brakes, I broke the top of the bleeder screw off , now I have a replacement for that but I am not too sure how to get the old one out, anyone have previous experience with something like this? I already have drilled into it , my Bolt extractor isn't fairing too...
