I recently bought my XVS 125, I'm 6'2" and roughly 18st. The ride is beautiful, I've had it up to 68mph on a dual carriageway, and it feels brilliantly stable on corners (well, better than the YBR 125 I learnt on). I would say that you shouldn't have a problem with it at your size (although you won't be able to throw it around quite as much as I can...). D

Hi there,know this is a bit of an old topic, but I expect that Brainstorm could do with knowing the answer to their last question... The green fluid operates the hydraulic brakes, the chamber is for checking there is enough. If the chamber is empty, you may want to get it topped up. (or get used to braking usingyour boot heels, which is not reccomended). Hope this helps. D
