XS ran perfect
17km's/ litre,
Got to 310kms and put 18 litres in and still not on reserve from a sidestand fill.
Theoretically that should be 340km to reserve and 408km to parked on the side of the road with your thumb out
Had a feel of the new rear spoked hub when I pulled up and it was luke warm so that tells me all is well with bearings, spacers and seals.

[BrettS]

You mean petrol fumes are not normal lol

hmmm are XS's telaphathic  was reading earlier posts about puddles of fuel being under /on said bikes ,the temp did drop a bit last night  this morning I thought I was getting a wiff of petrol fumes  this arvo and on closer inspection theres puddle under the side car tank. I'm thinking the seem has finaly failed and the cool change helped it to contract and weaken

found source of odorous fumes the micro filter on the extrernal tank had a crack in it when sitting for awhile drips ever so slowly oddly enough I think this was the reason for the same puddle at the rally

[steptoe]

have been 3 very full weeks at work, 5 and 6 14 hr days, this week is another 24 hr break before a 3 day trip up to Darwin for 2 hrs and then home again,
tinkering with floodies carbs, {this will go in it,s rightfull spot}, with another quick video to come.
I dissappear mostly because I have no service when it comes time to pull up for the night, up at 5 and turn the key off at 10 doesn,t leave to much reading time either

Holy crap Batfink...............for a moment there I thought you had bought an RH ?

[Jonesy :-)]

Its happening again....must be the winter chill sending everyone underground. or post rally overload?

taking the historic plated bike for rego inspection this saturday. when doing my own pre-inspection i found a minor glitch, no front park light. quick clean up of bulb socket with steel wool and ready to go. A couple of weeks ago I opened the shed and immediately noticed petrol fumes. sussed out the RH underside of tank and tap were wet with fuel. ah great immediate thought was for the worst case scenarion......rusted tank, but to my relief only a perished O ring/gasket between tank and tap.

what XS things have you been up to?

[XSNT999]

Well done, that is looking very very nice indeed!!!

Cheers

[AussiXS11G]

[Jonesy]

Still kind of quiet here but at least there is not a bunch of post whores as there are in some of the other forums I belong to. Of course I am being the exception 

[Jonesy]
