Re: xs1100 project
Have a good look at the dogs and slots on the gears now that you have it pulled to bits. They should have clean, square edges.
Any evidence of wear or rounding off will suggest that it's been hopping out of first or second. Check the selector forks for wear or blueing as well. You'll be replacing all the bearings anyway?

Re: xs1100 project
Update
Ive been making very slow progress due to lack of time and college. Ive been working on getting the engine cleaned and ready for painting, so i started off going for the cheap option. I got a tin of paint stripper, it worked savagely on some parts: To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater.

Hardly worked at all on the casing. so I decided to go and get the whole feckin thing blasted. Shay Lawless beside dennings cage repair on the N81 did it for me for 140quid.

It all looks pretty good, I cant help thinkin that the surface is a bit too rough though, Its about as rough as 1000grit sandpaper.

Re: xs1100 project
Jeez,make sure those are absolutely scrupulously clean inside.
Every oilway and wee pocket where the blast media could hide.It only takes one single bit to scrap a motor if it gets into a bearing at any kind of speed. Looks good though,that surface would take a good coat of paint.

Re: xs1100 project
Ya... some. have the bottom end rebuilt. feckin wemoto sent me out the wrong valve stem seals so the head wont be going on till i get the right ones. currently half looking for a set of carbs as mine are too far gone. not necessarily looking for xs carbs. I'll try and make anything work. gsxr carbs are a good bet i think.
also got a front end off a cb 400 might be able to make that fit, wont be doing that tho till the engine is running. il stick up a few pics soon
