i have an oppotunity to buy a virago 750 1996 for my first road bike.
Will this bike handle my 240lbs, 6'3" frame, and have enough power to handle
myself plus a gal pal?
i am not looking for a big bore bike, i'm just a beginner to this road bike

My Divvy 600 has developed VERY stiff gearchanging. Fitted a new clutch
cable - no change, might be the thrust bearing. Any other ideas?

My '99 Vstar 1100 has started to run rough at lower RPMs. Sounds as though
it's dropping spark every once in a while. I replaced the plugs, but the
problem is still there. When I get up past 3,000 RPM, the problem seems to
go away. Has anyone had problems like this? Thanks.

say is, it works. Continue pre-fab crap.

Dear Friend

I've got a bone stock '05 V-Star 650 Custom.  When decelerating, my pipes
rumble and pop.  I've read that when installing aftermarket pipes, one
sometimes needs to disable the AIS system.  Is the popping I'm hearing
normal for a stock setup??

I would like to upgrade my present gas tank for one with a little more
capacity.  I have an 85 virago 1000.  Has anyone else done this and
what type did you use.  At preset it is 3 gal.  I do a lot of long
hauls and would like to go upto at least 5 gal.

Would greatly appreciate any info on this bike bought it sight unseen. Ive
contacted my local dealer and they dont want to give out any info unless I
bring the bike into them for service. I need to know how much oil it is
supposed to hold I also need to know why when I start it ...

I just bought an 88 Yamaha Virago 535 and have been riding it.
Shortly after I bought it, it started running rough, even stalling
when I stop at a light.  And I noticed that it’s only getting about
10-15 MPG.  When I start it after it sits overnight, it even will

I am looking for an Australian supplier of parts for my '82 XJ560LJ. I am
after things like tapered bearings for the steering head, replacement hand
grips, foot peg rubbers etc. All of the places I have found so far are
o'seas.
