I'm looking for a manual for my Varadero 1000xl. It's a 2003 sd02. It's sometimes called Varadero 1000 V3. I've searched online, but there's only one for the carburetor version, i.e. the sd01. Does anyone have one they could share?

I would try and clean it all, then check the wire continuity with a multimeter. Sounds to me like it's reading the reverse of what it should be.

Hope you can fix it, that seems incredibly annoying.

Hello there.my baby vara been working fine never thoight the old model I have even had a side stand sensor. I now have most ANNOYING issue...

When sidestand is UP, engine only starts in neutral but cuts off when I go into gear

When side stand is about a 3rd of the way DOWN (and further) bike starts as normal In any gear and rides totally fine

I can see a wire coming from top of stand, pretty dirty in there

The sensor has never worked as a safety function anyway, is there a way I can just disable it by cutting shorting the cable or something I can do under seat where fuses are?

Any help would be SO Appreciated thanks

Hi all,
I'm a new member having just bought a veradero 1000 2002.
The lcd display on the speedo and rev counter are burnt out I can't find just the part so need to buy the complete binnacle.
My question is this does it matter if the unit is from a non HISS bike or do I have to have the exact year?
Thanks in advance

Hi guys,

I recently bought a Varadero 1000, its a 2007 with 27,700 miles. I like my loud bikes so naturally I am looking to replace the stock end cans.

From some google searching it looks like there are not many options these days, the only new sellers I can see are Black Widow or Dominator. Is there any other options around? I am located in Ireland.

Any comments on which cans you prefer would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Jonno

Hi All, Weird issue going on with my 2008 Varadero 1000. Seem to be having no starts when engine is cold. Battery is brand new and reading 13.1 volts so no issue there. I do occasionally get the Hiss issue where I need to spin the starter to get the fuel pump to prime but lately even when the FI light goes out she'll just crank over and not fire up, if I spin long enough and open and close the throttle it'll attempt to start a few times and then fire up and fire up immediately every time then until cold again. Only 13,000km's on the beast. Anyone have any ideas where to look? Unfortunately the dealer here in Canada knows next to nothing about these bikes. Air filter is new, plugs are new so they shouldn't be causing the problem. Can't really trust the girl right now to go far since I'm afraid she won't fire up away from home. Thanks

Hi there. I realise that it's a long time ago now but did you ever resolve this issue. I seem to have something similar on my 2008 XL125. Would appreciate any pointers.

As the title states.. If I sell my little vara im really gonna miss it. I passed my a2 license a while back, and bought a deauville 650 because my girlfriend really likes to backpack and were planning big trips! Anyways that means its time to say goodbye to my little 125 soon and boy does that hurt, ita just such a practical bike.. its reliable, cheap to maintain, low fuel consumption and easy for carving trafic. My only complaint is that its not great for the highway, and longer trips on high speed. Its almost to practical to sell, but sadly I can't hold on to 3 bikes. If I could id probably store it somewhere but I simply don't have the space for it, and it would be a waste to let it sit. Although id still use it for smaller rides. But all in all it just hurts to think about selling it, how did you guys cope with selling ur baby vara?

I had similar issue and it was defective stator, coils.

A/C reading on all 3 wires at @5000 should be over 40V
Measure resistance between all 3 wires. According to SM, it should be 0.1-0.5 ohm at room temperature.

There is no option to attach files here, but I can send you Charging system section or complete service manual in pdf it you need one.
