Thanks guys,

Hi, Those are the 4 bolts I'm enquiring about.

Hi All, was wondering if anybody knows the correct torque setting for tightening the 4 clutch bolts on a virago 125? any info would be helpful. Thanks, Les

Thanks, have always told him to check it upright, but was never 100% myself Thanks again

Hi, xv virago 125 a question asked by my son, do i check the engine oil level in & top up with the bike resting on its side stand, or hold the bike upright (which makes it hard to see the little spy window on the side) not being sure, thought id ask the question here. Thanks Les

Hi, ty for your replies oldgitonabike, dont take this the wrong way, as we all know, moving parts wear, valve clearance affecting the valve timing,& overall running of the engine, opening/closing at wrong times, not allowing enough fuel/air into the cylinders, not purging the old gases, etc etc, so thought it would be an ideal time to check & adjust, sure you would have done it, or it would have been done on a major service, thanks for your time to reply, much appreciated. Les

Hi, just to say hello to everyone, & thankyou for your time for giving any info/advise on any problems. My son has a xv125, & it's left with me to do any repairs & maintenance !!! while he spends his time at uni !! manage most things, but there are some things we all need advice on, especially as there seems to be no workshop manuals available for this model well i have posted a queation, & look forward to getting the replies to help me keeping his bike in a sound & safe roadworthy condition. Thanks, bye for now, Les

Hi, my son has a xv125, any advise on how to adjust the valve clearance, what the clearances should be & also the setting of the air/fule mixture screw on the carb would be greatly appreciated Thanks Les
