XS1100 respray
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)

Yamaha XVS 650 part identification?
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...

At the point where it doesn't start, can you bump start it?

Which oil
Try Yamalube 10W40 Semi-Synthetic... Fully Synthetic isn't a good choice for the older bikes.

LED bulbs for 2001 XVS650 Classic
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...

LED bulbs for 2001 XVS650 Classic
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

Yamaha r1 2008
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?

Exhaust studs
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

Hello from Brisbane, Australia
Check to see whether the baffle is still in your exhaust.

Exhaust studs
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..!

Battery connected in reverse
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!)...

Dodgy swingarm...
There's always that problem lol. Mine will require aluminium welding on the gas can (IF it can be welded), I've bought the best one off E-Bay, if it turns out to be duff, I'm hoping the can is in better condition, so I can make one out of two... If it turns out to be in good condition, I'll get mine serviced and then I'll have a spare!

Well, that sucks...

Dodgy swingarm...
I took the shock off today (strangely, almost as difficult a job as removing the swingarm!!!), the shock is definitely not a sealed unit, so I'm looking good there. However, it's one of those shocks with the remote gas canister (attached with a pipe), and it looks like there may be some corrosion damage to it, so it may be borked! We'll see how it goes...
