  1. if you mean the 4 that hold the springs in, then I can only tell you that its 8Nm on the dragstar 125, which is pretty much the same engine.

    Anyone confirm that?

    Hi,

    Those are the 4 bolts I'm enquiring about.

  2. 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

  3. Why do you want to adjust it anyway Les?

    Hi, ty for your replies :D

    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.

  4. 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
