Hi i need some advice on a problem with my 650 dragstar the battery runs flat when i use my lights its got a new battery and a new reg rectifier i thought it was one or the other but no i still have the same problem any ideas on what it could be

could be the heat shield on the exhaust....just a thought that happend on my mates 125

Think i read somewhere the 650 is a blown up 535 engine

have a look here should give you some idea www.wisebuyersguides.co.uk

Hi Taskmaster should have said i did not brake all of these myself.only one just thought it may be a problem that was common.all engines have done 20,000-30,000 miles.mine started knocking on the way back from wooton bassett last weekend so its back to the shed for me.time to get me spanners out.the nickname dragstar came about when i was the first to get a dragstar in the village now we have five owners and i own three aswell.used to be such a quiet village lol.

Hi anyone had problems with big ends on the xvs650 engines i have got three 650s all with the same problem just wonderd if it was a common problem ??
