I am from Cebu Philippines and I owned xv 1600. I am a new rider and I am still craving for more knowledge about this bike. I like the handling and performance of my XV 1600, although I encountered some problem along the road, but still manage to get away with it. Number 1 problem I encountered was dried oil seals in my clutch. I hope this forum can educate me more about this passion...CHEERS LUC OLALIA
