Hi There, Have 1 from xvs 650 if that wold fit and if your not sorted yet, complete with drive hub etc cheers

Hi There, Thanks for reply,, I've just tried the site and it covers a lot of models but doesn't show mine, so I've emailed them but they haven't replied Many Thanks Tony

Evening All I have a 2nd question in as many days... Yam xvs 650 1997 front brake master cylinder kit Does anybody know if/where I can get some new seals for front master cylinder as Yamaha want to charge an arm, a leg and a pint of blood.. In their infinate wisdom Yamaha made these seals VERY special.. My brake seal stockist says that on measuring the 2 seals some dimensions are metric and some imperial My measurements for the 2 seals are... 1st seal (small) is od = 13mm,,,,,id = 5.75mm,,,,,, height = 3.5mm 2nd seal (larger) is od = 13mm,,,,,id = 7.8mm,,,,,,, height = 4mm Hope someone else has had the same problem and found a solution cheers Tony

Thanks for replies,, I not sure if my fuel cap has a breather in it, as I'm not sure what to look for and where the breather hole is or how big it is.... I did assume that the fuel cap didn't have it's own breather because I do have a breather pipe which runs down the frame To explain which "hole in the tank" I meant,,it was the hole which the speedo cable is routed and the the hollow in my tank (and where I thought the manual showed) is as follows ..... As you sit on the bike, remove the speedo along with it's chrome housing,, look the a spot just your side of the large cut-out in tank (where the speedo sits)and there it is a small hollow but no spout .. As I say, I am confused as I have a breather pipe but nothing on to tank to connect it to cheers Tony

Hi There, Can anyone help me as either I am being daft or previous owner was being even dafter.. I've gat a 650 Dragstar 1997 which I've had for a few months.I had it running on the day I bought it but since then I've had it off the road while I repaired and changed a few things. Back to the question, the petrol tank doesn't have a breather outlet, well at least I can't find one and petrol flow stops after a few seconds unless I remove filler cap. The manaul shows a breather outlet in the top of the tank just behind the large "hole in the tank",, I do have the breather outlet pipe but I don't have any kind of breather outlet in the tank. There is a small hollow in the top of the tank in what looks like the right position but no spout. So, I'm asking again am I being daft or has previous owner removed the breather outlet and filled the hole in before he repainted the tank Tony

My midlife crisis came later than most so I bought a Dragstar 650 I know about bikes from many years ago so my know-how may be out of date, but here goes I cannot move/pull out the choke cable.. The choke cable is free in it's outer cable but the lever it is supposed to move is solid it only moves about 1/8 inch As I said I may be out of date but isn't the lever which the choke cable is attached to supposed to move because mine doesn't. cheers
