Howdy all, just wanted to say thanks for all the "links" and advice on for my wife's "non-running" 94 750 Virago. :) Another question is "HOW" do I tell if the...
hi there, do you know of a place who has this in stock? the 3 dongles in the starter clutch? I need them asap. I ordered them from a dealership in Miami, they...
Hi, Have you tried this store RIVAMOTORSPORTS.COM : http://216.37.204.203/Yamaha_OEM/YamahaMC.asp They usually carry a lot of parts in stock. And when they...
I'm getting ready to change oil and I was about to pick up Mobil V-Twin ($7.99 a quart) when I noticed the label said SuperSyn. I remembered that the Regular...
I will admit that I have never been known for my mechanical aptitude, but also have to admit that I have gotten much better in fixing things. It involves risk...
On most Virago's the fuse box is located under the headlight in a black box with the Virago logo on it. The cover will be held on with 2 screws. Arnie...

I have an 87-1100 and the fuse box is right above the gas tank by the handlebars. There are two screws that hold it on. Mike On Sat, 04 Jun 2005 12:40:00 -0000...
Good luck, Art. I resemble your remarks. ;-) Btw, my XV1000, Arnie, is off the road again. Blew a cylinder ring the other week :: sigh :: WR the Inept Mechanic...
My Virago 1100 fell the other day and the end cap on the handlebar broke off. I replaced it but it doesn't fit snuggly against the throttle tube and there is...
Mine too. Was told it sits on rubber mountings which shrink with age resulting in vibration, but no danger of it falling off. Can be fixed by taking it apart....
My '98 has the same gap. Used to feel a little loose, also, so I used some rubber cement and re-inserted it. Seems okay for the last couple of years. Rob J ......
Take the cover off. Put another washer on each mount studs and tighten the nuts back. Will be like new. Make sure the washer will fit on the stud past the...
I'm trying to gauge the girth of this project. Is this hard to do or very time consuming? How does that cover come off? ... tighten the ... stud ... clear ...
Not being of nimble fingers, I did not want to get into dismantling the tach and then encounter problems when remanateling it. So I just ran the caulk bead...
There's a small Phillips screw on the back of the chrome cover. Remove it and the cover slides off. You also have access to the bulbs. It's very easy unless...
I'm looking to make my exhaust louder. A mechanic near me recomended "modding" the exhaust, which is his specialty. It would ensure the factory look but...

Dan, I'm curious about going that route, because if I mess up the baffles and I dont like it--that's it. I'll need a new exhaust. I'm curious what does it...
Many thanks, sounds like something I may be able to handle ;-) Gust ... From: ViragoOwnersclub@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ViragoOwnersclub@yahoogroups.com] On...
I just installed a set of Vance & Hines on my '97 Virago 1100. Don't pay that price to modify a set of stock pipes. There is a collector (not right term)...
I just got through replacing those cheap tools that come with the bike with a better grade set. But of course, it will not fit in the tool box anymore, but...
I installed a set of Hard Krome slip-ons on my 98 XV1100 over the winter. I was hoping to avoid a re-jet but I was not happy with the way it was riding -...
