Frame is in pretty good shape I guess, not melted like the engine case and forks. I don't think I'd want to try to take it apart and ship it or...
I also have an XS750 and XS850 for sale in case anyone is interest in one of those models.
I'm looking to get rid of my 750 Seca and don't want to take it to the scrap yard or Craigslist since someone here might want it. I originally...
>That makes two things we aren't recommending, now. >Acetone and Drilling your own Brake Rotors. Rick you just don't know what the hell you are...
Rick, I suppose they aren't allow to recommend anything besides pure gasoline but what does he think of the government forcing them to put in...
Look them up on the parts list at Yamaha Motors or Xtreme Powersports to find out. www.yamahaaccy.com/parts.aspx
What is that exactly?
We aren't qualified to judge whether you are going insane or not but I've had that feeling when the tire was low on air.
I have one of the IR temp. meters and I tried it on my exhaust pipes but it's not accurate enough to tell anything besides if the cylinder is...
I've been looking at air tanks they sell at hardware stores and Walmart for $15-$19 that hold 5-7 Gal. and thinking that would make a good aux....
I was working on building an FI system but had to postpone it due to lack of time and money but with the increased gas prices I'm going to get it...
If you guys have the older style flat brake pads you are probably missing the anti-squeal shims that go behind them. The newer tapered pads don't...
The air box has nothing to do with the crabs! LOL Anyway, the engine is just an air pump, the more air it gets the faster it goes so if you want...
There's a tutorial on the XS11 site showing how to change a tire and the one they mounted was a D404. Apparently backwards tread is the way to go!...
Yeah, that's it pretty much, set the screws to the center where it runs best. When you go out it will slow down as it gets too rich and as you go...
I would suspect burned or corroded connections and a weak battery.
I've also got a Cruisemax and a D402 with the arrow going the same direction as the tread but a 491 Elite II that has tread similar to the D404...
One problem with the 404 is they have at least 2 different tread designs then there is a Harley version and a regular version. I've got the kind...
Nonsense! Anyone with a drill press can do it. They are just HOLES. It's not rocket science! Chacal, your mechanist must be an idiot or he's...
There are some online you can download and print out a pattern but I don't remember where. I designed my own.
When I put on pod filters and Supertrapp 4-1 I had to increase the pilot jets and main jets one size but LOWER the tapered needle a notch cause it...
Interesting question, they probably have the tread backwards for better braking. I have one of those tires that's new and I haven't put it on yet...
We don't need no stinkin' safety switch! Safety switches are for sissies!
Someone with cash in hand beat me to the XV920. Whew, what a relief! They sure saved me a lot of work!
I found some information about the benefits of drilling rotors in an article by Joe Minton in Motorcyclist. He's actually talking about...
Old Bike Barn sure is expensive!
I tried emailing forums@viragotech.com but they never replied. However I found a couple others that look good such as the Virago Owners Club.
I've heard of putting a dent in it but it wouldn't be too smart to cut a chunk out. Dirt and water would get in and shorten the life of the U...
Well he still has most of the parts in boxes and there's no rust of course but everything is covered with lots of dust. He only wants $200 for it...
gcrick, I just went to Viragotechforum again and tried to register but only 1 of the pictures will come up. Even if I right click and click Show...
Does anyone know of a good forum for the Virago? I've been looking at an XV920 that I want to ask a question about. I tried to get on this one...
No, unleaded is fine.
It's not supposed to have a dead short between the pos terminal and ground terminal. If it does there is probably a shorted capacitor, diode or...
What I want to know is why would anyone spend money on faith based beads that won't work to balance the tires unless you believe in them when you...
I replaced all the tabs with lock washers. Never had a problem.
Where are the LEDs exactly?
If it's a sealed one that doesn't unscrew you have to cut the ring around the front and pry the glass off. It's possible to pry up the ridge...
If it idles too fast it's getting too much air (since an engine is an air pump) so find the place where extra air is getting in and close it up....
If you have faith the beads feel the centrifugal force in the rotating tire you've also got to have faith they will know what to do about the bump...
That's because it works on faith! None of these kinds of scams can stand up to any kind of actual testing like checking the balance on a tire...
That's a lie. Just because they keep saying it won't make it come true.
I don't know about the 550 but Mikes has those kits for the XS650. http://www.mikesxs.net/mikesxs-suspensi ... ory_id=6.3 Maybe All Balls has...
Yeah, and you'd have to glue them all to the side of the wheel opposite where the solder was placed.
You just need new springs and possibly switch to a different kind of oil. Some people say not to use car oil but that's what I use and never had a...
You can always add a fork brace like this from Mikes. http://www.mikesxs.net/parts/img250/27-1070.jpg
Walmart has just setup a big display with tons of legendary Seafoam in the automotive department. It's about $6 a can for you guys who need to...
Some models of carbs have nozzles on them and some don't. If the hole is big enough you might be able to stick a piece of tubing inside the hole...
The good news is that almost any forks that have the same diameter legs with the same spacing will fit. The bad news is about the only ones like...
For some odd reason a lot of people like to modify SR500's to make them cafe racers too. They look cool but totally unrideable. I prefer to put...
