Yamaha XJ6n cuts out when revved
Hi to the YOC, it's usual to say Hello first before you ask a "how do I fix my bike" question, new members section, we get loads of one hit wonders who want help then without a "Thank you" bugger off never to be seen again, so if you would be so kind try saying hello first. Have you ruled out an electrical fault? I would check the fuses and wiring (earth wires) before I tried new plugs and filters, why do you think it's either of these things anyway what led you to think it might be them? There's loads of reasons it might cut out so you should give some more info about how you use the bike, is it left out all the time? Has it been serviced properly? Do you have a manual and do you know anything about bikes or is this your first bike? It helps if you fill out your details as well so we know if your a complete noob or a seasoned rider. If your in the UK for instance it helps to know this as telling you about a shop we all use and your from Outer Mongolia is bloody pointless.

XS250 starting problems
Sounds about right, if it goes over 15Volts then check the regulator but yours is more or less spot on.

You could do as Drewpy says and feel the paint scheme, try some "tobacco substitute" that usually helps !!

Mt 03 problems
As far as I know the oil CAN'T go up and down like that, Is it possible to check the oil flow through the engine? it does sound like you have a blockage in one of your oil ways, try an engine flush oil (motorcycle) treatment, will mean you have to dump your present oil once you have done it but might save you from a blown engine, that's the best I can figure from the info you have supplied but are you SURE that it has the right amount of oil in it, if it was me I would drain out the present oil and refill it to be absolutely sure I had the right amount in it before I did anything, try putting just 1/2 litre in at a time, fill it slowly and allow the oil time to settle each time before pouring more in, use a measuring jug to be sure each time and use the info in your manual as a guide. PS is it on the side stand or main stand when you fill it?

YBR125 replacement clutch
It does sound like it was badly adjusted, the only way you will burn your clutch out under normal circumstances is through revving it's nut's off while holding the clutch in. You were using MOTORCYCLE oil weren't you? When you get it back together you had best make sure all the adjustments are right, check it twice and hope it don't happen again. PS was your oil THICK or WHITE sludge? If it was white/grey in colour then you have water in the oil if it was thick like tar then you have the wrong oil.
