Q and A / Valves

« Last post by Colin on March 27, 2024, 01:50:57 PM »

I'm looking for valves for XS1100E 1978. I found a set online for "Yamaha XS1100 1980-1983 Engine Valve Set". Are these not suitable for my bike? Colin

Thanks for checking in Jonesy.
Only just finished setting up string lines. Looks to be really bad misalignment of the forks.
Just googling how to realign and will give you some feedback after this is done.

The Metzeler on the front did its job but time to stump up for new tyres. The RH didnt let me down and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride, no hairy moments, enough traffic to make it annoying although probably a good thing along the old pacific highway as mobile and stationary cash traps were about. On a Tuesday as well, pinching all the retirees

Just as an update, I found it easiest to just get these from Yambits Uk. Postage is a hip pocket pain compared to the price of the shims but hey, I need the parts. These were for my E model, put in a good spin the other day on my RH, 350 kay loop from Lake macquarie, Wisemans Ferry, Bowrora and the old Pacific, scratching with the full leather brigade, it was great.
