That's the sort of job I take to the professionals! (man they must hate me walking in... lol)
-
Did NOT know this!!!
-
How old is this bike? Is it old enough to be wanting to run on leaded petrol?
-
It looks right, I remember them that colour.
-
Since you've not said, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Dark Red suits it much better than the White! (although, knowing my luck, the White is the new colour! lol)

Google is your friend... All I googled was "XV 650 spares" Then just pick one of the sites that show exploded diagrams of your bike. Once I knew it was part of the frame, it was easy...

Welcome in... -
At the point where it doesn't start, can you bump start it?
-
Try Yamalube 10W40 Semi-Synthetic... Fully Synthetic isn't a good choice for the older bikes.

Oh, and contrary to popular belief, you can't just stick an LED bulb into a incandescent/halogen light (even though they DO make LEDs to fit), because an LED bulb requires a different shaped mirror...

Not done it, but obviously you need drivers for them too. I'd personally look out for kits. But the first thing you need to know is: Is your bike CANbus (Controller Area Network bus)? If it is, you're in for a world of confusion! lol

The problem may be that we get a lot of people coming in, asking one question, then never replying again. Might be an idea to go make a post in the 'New Members' area, introducing yourself & so on... It may be that we need more sentences and punctuation (my favourite), long single sentence rambles often confuse people! Or, it's possible no one has a clue (most likely)... Have you got any more information? It's pretty thin on the ground at the moment. Does the engine make any 'pinging' noises when you turn it off? Is it running at a steady temperature? Is there plenty of liquid in the radiator? In the 30mins or so that it won't start, does it turn over as normal? Or is there nothing happening?

Duplicate post?

Do you have the exact item code?

I want to swap my exhaust studs for titanium, but there's not a chance I'm going to attempt to take out 20 year old studs myself! lol
-
Check to see whether the baffle is still in your exhaust.
-
Take it to a mechanic. If you're not geared to deal with a snapped stud, let a professional deal with it. You're only ever one snapped bolt away from fucked with home mechanics..!

After the above, and solving the problem, put an in-line fuse in the negative terminal (I've found it saves a lot of problems for all sorts of electronics!)...
