Just had a thought, does a varadero 125 have gearbox oil ? or is it lubed from the engine oil?

Horrible horrible feeling i may have overlooked this.

Most bikes have integrated gearbox and engine, so use the same oil.
Have you checked the tappets and cam chain tensioners?

2 strokes tend to have seperate oil and 4 strokes comined oil...

What's the milage of the engine? Also as stated check the usual suspects first like tappets, cam chain tensioners, even a loose exhaust bracket..

[wurzelgumage]

are there any sources for info on checking them?

Baby Vara is a 4 stroke http://www.visordown.com/review/reviewProductData.asp?rpn=159∏=Honda-XL125-Varadero&rcn=14&rgn=1&RTFN=2&sp=&v=6

No offense , I guessed you would probably know that.

I have had a look around the usual suspects for manuals or values but haven't come up with anything more useful than this http://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=169300

Can I remind people that posting or asking for links to PDF manuals are not allowed on this forum

Any one got a workshop manual for a varadero 125 ?, there must be something , or can they recommend someone to rebuild my engine?
