Kelum Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I put forward some of my own experience and what I have seen here and among xv125 and Yamaha riders here in SL. The common concept among mechanics and riders here in Sri Lanka is that Yamaha needs constant maintenance and attention while Hondas do not. Here people accept Honda than Yamaha. Hondas are highly valued and I too personally know that my early Honda Benly 125cc had very minor issues during its stay with me and my brother for more than 6 years being a reconditioned bike, even though it had been bored. But with my two xv125s...every month there is some electrical problem. It can be the starter, it can be a switch..battery or rectifier...it stops on the way, may be battery is dead..new rectifiers do not last...battery over charges...I have tried many new rectifiers by now...not reliable for my day to day use... whats ur experience on the subject guys?

Ttaskmaster Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Sri Lanka is hot, right? Are you sure you're not getting condensation/corrosion/rust/other crap somewhere along the electrics? Try coating all your connections with Vaseline or some other kind of non-conductive grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Sri Lanka is hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
