I think the XRV 650 has the same problem as the Transalp regarding the CDI
units that are under the seat:
Because they are too high, the bikers butt!! pushes theire top and after
something like 30000 - 40000 km their top, were the plugs are brakes, so the
one of the two cylinders stops, usually after a short period of stopping and
starting again.
I had this problem with my Transalp, others also and a guy in our Africa
Twin Club with the XRV 650 has it all the time, (he is not exactly a light
person, if you know what i mean...)
I think the solution is a metal bar, over the CDIs to protect them. Also, i
think Honda has a special part for this purpose, i think Beppe rote about it
some time ago.
Ask arround, maby others have had experience with this problem.
