Posted May 8, 201014 yr Can anyone give me details of the above engine,currently fitted in an XS360 frame,is it 250 or 400?
May 8, 201014 yr Author there's a 1L9, never heard of a that one. xs250 only with 3n6 What did the 360 and 400 codes come out as?
May 8, 201014 yr Author 1L9 = XS360 1T6 = XS360 1U6 = XT500 11G = XS1100 1L6 = LB50 Thanks for that but its definately an XS twin of 250/360/400 family,it was described as a 360 but it is not round barreled,as I thought it should be.

I know it sounds sacrelige, but i recon its do-able

I know it sounds sacrelige, but i recon its do-able Head ,rocker cover, barrels and obviously pistons anything else?,I am actually hunting round for alternative pistons to give a capacity nearer the 500cc mark,anyone any 'tips' or well known mods for that?
