running in advice
XS1100 replied to Davehutch-hutchs's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
The Engine may be a little tight so don't over load it take yer time going though the gears.avoid hard acceleration.and don't be supprised if the it burns a drop of oil it could well do untill the rings bed in. Remember its all new so the brakes may need some time to settle in and of course the tyres to. I dare say others will be along soon. or thrash the life out of it that al loosen it up! I can follow you back in my van in case it blows up -

whats the best bike you've ever owned
XS1100 replied to bladerunner's topic in The Pub "Tinker and Budget"
After having a think about this one I don't think the 400F was in fact the best bike I've owned.Having had so many bikes over the years they have all been good but have had there faults.The XS1100E was good smooth zero vibes shaft drive steady as a rock on Motorways and in high winds,But at 235kg (631 lb)starts toget heavey with 24litres (6.34 gallon)swishing about makes for entertaining handling. The Bandit 1200 good bike fast handles well light compaird with the above.poor tank range and the seats not the worlds best design chain drive ok but 23 years riding a shaft dirty oily things, naaaaa stoneage. So I am still looking for the best bike ever Has to be light, shaft drive, good tank range,handle well,take you any where, cruise all day at 80mph, quite motor, modern and reliable.easy to work on and maintain. so what fits the above?BMW R100T?Dunno your call. -
