pignapper Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks Will do. I think ive found the little rascal though. Cut out switch wire that goes to the cut out relay. It has a break some where so will just pull a new on through and then fingers crossed. stay safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I had the same issue with my boys XV535. I disconnected all wiring in the headlamp (taking plenty of phots for reassembly) and started stripping back the harness. Luckily I found the broken wire just where the loom goes through the headstock. A quick repair, some self amalgamating tape and away we went. Still good after 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pignapper Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Well guys its done...... Aside from finding decals im happy with for the tank its all finished. Sorted the electrics with a rewire. A couple of leaks sorted and a top tip for any newbies when setting valves clearances. As you will read, top dead centre must be found and on a four stroke that happens twice. When setting the valves you do it on the combustion stroke not the power stroke as i did yesterday. Fired up the bike and it sounded like a sewing machine. Did a bit of reading and felt stupid. Reset today and now sweet as a nut. Ill post the link that i read that really helped me when i find it. A BIG thankyou to all for your help and support. Who knows i may get another project but for now an MOT and im away. Who knows we may meet on a day out. Stay safe and speak soon. stay safe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pignapper Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hi guys. A little help please. Bike runnibg sweet as a nut but suffering a saggy and loose centre stand. Also foot brake not fully returning. When i looked underneath the centre stand spring top mount is bent downwards taking tension out of spring and fouling the footbrake return spring. Question is can i weld a new peg on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy xs Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It might be easier to heat it up and bend it back maybe then strengthen it with a weld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
