You don't even have to buy a vacuum guage if you don't want to, but either use a factory made Manometer, or build one, it is very easy to do and cheap too. ...
I had a moment of triumph!! My XV700 (1985) started right up after reinstalling the carbs. However, I still can't seem to get the front cylinder to fire and...
Thanks! This great! I whipped one up, but I'm sort of at a loss how to hook it up. The instructions say 1/8 ID tube. I am assuming on my '81 750 I will go to...

Hi Artie, I'm totally ignorant when it comes to the earlier Viragos, especially those equipped with fuel petcocks, so I'm not even going to attempt to answer...
I've determined that those nipples are the correct place to hook up on my bike. Any reason I can't use 1/4 ID tubing (which will connect right up to the...
Hey all, Thanks to those who offered feedback re: my issue with backfiring. I've been on the bike over the past few days, and for whatever reason, it seems to...

Mine does the same thing, but only in cold weather (October-April). It recently stopped althougher. I tried replacing the speedo cable; didnt work. It was a...
When was the last time you changed your ignition wires? As they get older, they cause more Rf-leaks and electrical noise. A new pair might fix the tach...
Thanks, Chris! Well, I haven't had the bike that long, so there's no telling. I'll look into it, but the resistance is in specs on both leads. This happened...

Howdy all. Having decided that the buffeting I get on my 96 750 on the freeway stinks, I want to get a windshield. Does anyone have any opinions as to which...
