Awesome, I am thinking about cleaning the carb of mine as well since it is not running super smoothly. Thanks for uploading these videos 👍

[@10MilMoto]

Best of luck, looking forward to this. I've just finishing my 535 restoration. Your starting point is so much better than mine was.

[@MidlandCruiser]

Thank you. Yes the overall condition is fair, and still got MOT until end of May. I'm sure there will be some ups and downs🤷‍♂️ I am little behind schedule unfortunately now 😔

Nice and easy bikes to work on I've got one that I'm turning into a survival rat. Good luck on your builds chap.

[@MidlandCruiser]

Yes agreed mate. So much easier then my Aprilia Falco was😁 but that's a different animal. Thank you and good luck on your ratbike😉👍👍

Hi, I bought a xv535 1996, major issue is chrome on metal is pitted, also chrome on plastic covers is blemished, any good way to return it to original state?
Thx
Andy

Hi Andy. Unfortunately there is no cheap option here, and only a handful company re-chrome aluminium alloy here in the UK. No idea in the US if you are there.
There is a coloured option called cerakote, similar to powder coat but tougher and more heat resistant, also not cheap.
Cheaper option is sand blast, then machine polish and high quality heat resistant clear lacquer coat, so it won't go dull in a few months. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with mine, but fortunately it isn't that bad so I probably just going to leave it as is. I hope this helps a little😉
