hello all I will be purchasing a 1989 virago 750 got alot of miles on it @26,xxx is that alot of miles for this bike? the bike sounds good looks damn good for...
How do you figure 26K on an 89 is a "Lot of Miles" Thats works out to an avge of 1,444 mi per year or 27 miles per week???? I would say that was "Light...
the bike just pops a little but the carbs have just been rebuilt at a local yamaha dealer were the bike was at when I bought it (well put it up in layaway).....
My '98 XV1100 has close to 66K on it and still runs like a champ. All I've ever done is change oil in differential and engine, add a re- usable air filter,...

I've personally found that getting carbs "rebuilt" at the local Yamaha shop is nothing to count on because it's usually little more than a quick douche with...
Brent's mention of a lean condition reminded me of the fact that some folks have gotten rid of the popping on deceleration by disconnecting the AIS that feeds...
due to the fact that the virago uses a relatively low compression ratio...using any octane rating gasoline higher than 87 can cause backfire or popping on...
my "85 1000 is making a funny noise, like it is sputring air from somewhere it shouldn't be. I put a compression tester on it and both heads are showing 100....
Could be sucking air rather than blowing it. As exhaust gasses leave, it is possible that you have a leak going the other way. A good example is how people...

Let me give a bit of history on my bike first. I got my XV750 about 6 months ago and put about 800 miles on it. It was a little hard to start but ran good. I...
If the exhaust valve was open, while your needle was stuck open, you may have filled the cylinder up. Leave the spark plug out, put a rag over the hole, put...
Also check your oil for gas in the crankcase. Gas can leak past the rings and get into the crankcase contaminating (diluting) the oil. This is (sort of) common...
First off is that you've still got a major flooding problem with the carb hooked to the affected cylinder. Gotta check your floats to make sure they aren't...
Just scanned in and uploaded two files ind PDF format - both make up the entire owner's manual for a 1981 Virago 750. Part one covers pages 1 to 39 Part two...
Just want to wish the best of the season to all our members. And a special thanks to all members of the armed forces and their families, of our country and and...
Just added mini apes to my Virago chopper, check out the pics. In this picture I was taking a trip thru southern Georgia and stopped at a diner next to a...
ok. So my 85 1000 was making a funny noise. It has compression, and spark, plus it is getting fuel to the engine. Someone told me that it might be the ring or...
I'd say you have a ring problem. If you actually check your compression, you will find that it is low and probably unbalanced. There is enough compression to...
Kevin, I think Aaron is on the right track in advising to first check your compression. You can pick up a very good little compression checker kit for $20 at...
before you go spending the big bucks chk the routine maintenance indicated items...a clogged and dirty air filter element will affect your crankcase breathing...
Ok so I think I have figured out that my problem is a carb problem. If i take the carbs apart, and clean them, does anyone know how to resync them without...
Where do you live? I have a carb dial guage set I could loan you for awhile. I am in Notheren Il. but will mail if you pay for postage. Arnie ... If i take the...
