New Owner Tech and
Operation Advice
Congratulations and welcome to the community of individuals who are
dedicated to maintaining and preserving the Excelsior-Henderson Super X
motorcycles. To read

Your purchase
of an Excelsior-Henderson Super X bike has put you in a special group of
individuals. The Super X is a great heavy cruiser but it does have some
special needs to keep it running factory fresh.
Thanks to the wonders of the
Internet, a very active social and technical community of X riders,
collectors and aficionados has evolved.
With the daily exchange of information among the community members,
many preventive maintenance items that a new rider should perform or
should confirm that have been performed on a previously owned bike are in
the public domain. If these preventive maintenance items have not been performed
and a previously owned bike has logged miles, the buyer can expect some
repair expenses. Since there
is no dealer network to speak of, the Super X Owners rely on one another
for their technical information.
A listing of maintenance items that have been collected
over the last several
years can be found on this site, as well as several others listed on our links
page.
