1100 evo

Hi all happy new year
Just got my 1100 evo , had 851 916 848 ,
Liked the evo as it's air cooled and a sexy
She's done 3500 miles and 2013 so due belts
Was astonished to find horizontal cylinder tensioner was locked and paint marked in the off position , belts so loose they have not turned tensioner pulleys should see how polished the back of the belt is 😢 So many posts on so many sites about belt tension ! Yet this ones done 3.5k with no tension at all. , guess it's better than over tensioned but gave me shudders when I removed the belt covers ,
New belts fitted now just can't wait for some dry tarmac to try her out

Belts every 2 years,
They were probably the original ones.

Welcome. Black or Red?

You will find that the 1100 Evo is awful at low revs so either keep the revs up (impractical around town) or get the ECU reflashed. Lots of info on here.

Safe riding.

Welcome to the EVO club. Amazing bit of kit…if it's not already got it you'll be wanting a performance ecu, air filter and termis. Also a 14tooth sprocket helps with town manners.

Hi thanks for the welcome messages , it's a red one, is there an easy way to put photos on here ?
I only ride twisty country roads , never go anywhere near a town or city, she seams about the same gearing wise as my others so not a problem to me , at risk of upsetting not a termi fan , or carbon 😧, Have fitted an evo tech tail though 😊

Happy new year and welcome to the EVO, its a great bike! The right balance of power, weight and agility while keeping that lovely air cooled engine. I'm sure you'll absolutely love it. While I agree that the low end fueling should be addressed, I've actually preferred to have the 15 tooth sprocket after having tried the 14, but I also don't deal with city traffic too often. The bike and I are happiest on twisty country roads.

Looks very clean that one. Very pretty.

If i may one thing I've done to mine that changes the fromt end look dramatically is getting a black light surround instead of the slivery metal also the matching carbon cover and carbon light backing make the front extremely pretty.

A carbon front mud guard also helps finish the look but that's moving it away from standard to point where it may not suit everyone's taste.

Also a nice aftermarket exhaust typically the shotgun termis are accepted as best…although (shameless plug) I've got a very pretty sc project for sale. It's not for the feint of heart tho.

You can get full db killers from desmoworld on the internet. They also do inserts that look like baffles but don't take any edge off the noise.
