I'm near Brighton myself! Excellent. Nice to.meet you.

Thank you Neo. Yes its gone oval and the shim if it ever had one is long gone... I'm either going with ptfe tape and see how long it lasts... or some copper slug repelling tape... or last ditch... a tin can insert or tin can new shim... or very last ditch.... I'll buy a new one. Many thanx.

Hahahaaaaa. A hannnnndbaaaaag? A phone strap actually. Lol. Here it is "in place"... I measured the inner circumference and the hole appears slightly oval and is probably worn... I'm attempting to make a shim that will sit inside to take up the excess play... or... I'll live with a wobbly lever. https://postimg.cc/Hc2grG5x

Hi All. I can't find any reference to this issue but my xv has got a very wobbly gear lever.. not at the gear shaft but the pivot. It looks like some kind of bushing or a flat rubber o ring is missing but I cannot find any part number or even a diagram that might assist me... https://postimg.cc/jLx08YjX

Yep. Hello there from sunny Sussex. Working in an Xv535 1991. My partners old bike. Been riding since 1986 but fell out of the habit for a few years when I developed a Chronic pain condition.. but figure, lifes too short to mope about and so its finally time to resurect my life and remove a partially dead bike from the living room I'm excited to get out and ride and live again, so... here I am. Nice to meet everyone.

Hi all. I'm new here and working on a yamaha xv535 and the fuel tap solenoid is dead (it doesn't activate when a charge is run through it)... Considering a new tap is near £100, can I just put a normal main and reserve tap on it. I'm happy to not use the handlebar switch so can it be replaced with any Main Res and Off tap fixed to the old tap bolts under the auxiliary (main?) Tank? Many thanx in advance and sorry if this is in the wrong section. Seana
