I have a 2006 yamaha v star and put the oil relocation kit on it. I had a few leaks at first with the hoses from the kit and got that straight, now I have a leak coming from somewhere up around the oil pan. I can't really tell from where. my question is this.....do you think the relocation kit put undo pressure on the pan to cause a leak? the bike only has 2000 miles.....can anyone help? Johnny.

Hi, just wondered what people though the value would be on a bike I have. It a 1980 XS250 in black (Mars bar) its in showroom condition and has covered just 3300 miles in its 34 years. I have every Mot, original keys, handbook, tool kit ect. It really is a beautiful bike but I have no idea of its worth as the only ones I can find on ebay and such are ratters. This is pristine, taxed, mot'd and genuinely original. Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hi my son recently bought a XT125R 2005 vintage with only one ignition key which he has now mislaid or lost, he has bought a new switch for a 2007 model as the correct year one is £70 dearer in the hope it would fit without too much trouble. We have now found that although they both have 6 wires from the switch , they all go to one multi plug on the new switch but some go to a separate plug on the switch on the bike, does anybody know if its possible to splice and shrink wrap the right wires from the new switch to the old wiring, if any idea of wire colours it would be a help as we have no wiring diagrams.

Hello 👋 I've just got myself a Yamaha XT 125 R (2007) but unfortunately I didn't get an owners manual for it. I would love to own one if anyone had a spare I could buy but what I wanted to know right know is exactly how the speedometer / clocks operate. If anyone has one and could photo a few pages and send them to me that would be a huge help. Thanks guys

Hi All, First time on here so firstly, hello! I have an XV535 that is eating batteries and I wondered if anyone can tell me what's wrong with it. I've put two new ones on now and they both just flattened within a few months. The first time it happened I assumed it was because I didn't look after it very well over winter. Since then I've put another one on and it's flattened that too. If I don't ride the thing every day then after about a month it'll need charging. I think it's getting worse too, the last battery lasted about 2 months total and now it's fried. It's also had performance problems for as long as I can remember. Several garages have looked at it…
