Thanks so much for making the video mate. Much appreciated.

@TheAmateurBikeBuilder 4 года назад

Thanks Col.Klink , glad it was of help, i will hopefully being doing more on the Varadero in the future

@ColKlink-pk9yx 4 года назад

@@TheAmateurBikeBuilder cheers mate. I recently purchased a 99 Varadero and love it. Just getting to grips with the mechanical (ie lack of computer bits and pieces that I'd taken for granted) nature of the beast :-)

@TheAmateurBikeBuilder 4 года назад

Its a great bike, bought mine with 19500 miles on it, now has 86600 miles on it, due for a makeover/strip down so that will probably follow the Z650 restoration i am doing at the moment

@ColKlink-pk9yx 4 года назад

@@TheAmateurBikeBuilder understand completely. Mine had 100,000 on it when I got it but most of it is Australian distance travel...fortunately no collisions with animals. Thanks for taking the time to record step by step your work and share it with us. This is one of the best features of RU-vid, people being able to share their knowledge. Cheers.

great video thank you I have never seen my spark plugs or air filter they could be iridum plugs and K&N air filter for all I know . I bought my Varadero with 21000 miles its just gone over 30000 miles now I have replaced the brake pads all round and just fitted new chain and sprockets and tyres . I have bought 2 bikes and was delighted to fine K&N air filters fitted one was filthy no bother just wash it and spray some K&n oil on it the other is brand new . before I awaken her from her winter sleep I will check the tyre pressures bleed up the brakes as I think they go off over winter easy enough job only 6 bleed nipples : ) and then inspect the air filter and plugs but with such low miles they shoud be ok . over time I will buy a accurate low range torque wrench and feeler gauges and check the valve clearance .

@TheAmateurBikeBuilder 5 лет назад

Thanks Harry, mines heading towards 82000 miles and still going strong, thats the beauty of K&N filters, just wash it re-oil it and away you go

Isn't there an electrical connection on the tank for the low fuel light?

@riptarn 2 года назад

Yes, it’s on the right side faring just above the fuel tap

I will be trying to replace the spark plugs this week and also the air filter not sure if the air filter is exactly the same as yours my Varadero is from 2007 I’ll post it out as soon as I finish

@TheAmateurBikeBuilder 5 лет назад

Hello Hugo, no the air filters are different, but both have the small pink filters shown in this video,

@Pedagogstudent 3 года назад

Hey, do you have any episodes where you change/fix the ignition pulse generator? Thanks

@TheAmateurBikeBuilder 3 года назад

Thanks, unfortunately no, only fix/repair/change what needs to be done, will video it when it does though

@liambrady7681 5 лет назад

Great video and thanks for the info just couple of quick questions if you do not mind 1st what spark plug did you use and what was the gap set to and 2nd do you have the code for the filters you installed many thanks liam
