TWO-STROKER TWINS AND THE EVOLUTION OF YAMAHA RD
มุมมอง 165ปีที่แล้ว
The sound and the smell of a two-stroke are rare these days. Although the age of two-strokes ended years ago, there’s still an unparalleled cachet to a sporty two-stroker that bring a cascade of memories and desires to anyone old enough to remember their heyday.

Widow maker: Why some motorcycles considered unsafe at any Speed.
มุมมอง 226ปีที่แล้ว
It is believed that distracted driving plays a role in approximately 40% of motorcycle accidents and study showed that around 54% of motorcyclists killed in accidents are 40 years of age or older. However sometimes motorcycle accidents are caused simply because the motorcycle has defective parts or the motorcycle itself has been hastily conceived ‘safety’ mods and built by some manufacturers wi...

'If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.' Rebuilding of 1982, XV750 Virago. Watch the journey unfolds.
I got 1 and the engine was stuck, needs new rings, got another just like it and it runs but ain't rode it yet.
I've tried to not get bitten by these bikes, but now have, as I wade through used parts from about the country. I was glad that I'm not the only person who found redemptive healing hiding beneath this machines obscure design philosophy, all from the ground up. Just as you have done with this Midnight Special.
Yamaha R5 350, DS7 250, RD 250 ,RD 350, RD 350 LC all pretty much the same crankcases the Yamaha Banshee was a quad based on the RD 350 LC engine standard with Electronic Ignition in production until at least 2014 and readily available as well as aftermarket systems including fully mappable systems from Eastern Europe two systems both very good have used both and dyno mapped banshees with them. Banshees with stroker crank and big bore cylinders with Keihin PWK 35MM carbs and pipes plus port work arouns 96 HP at wheels as a 421 Much more if bigger such as 535, 610 etc so plenty of options available. wrong puller to remove rotor will damage it not good
Very nice. Good work.
Thank you.
Guess I'm pretty late to the party. But your vid just showed up in my feed. Can't quite determine from your channel, but do hope you haven't called it quits. From one fledgling motorcycling documentarian TH-camr to another, can easily appreciate the time and effort it would have taken to produce such a good watch. Cheers dude.
Welcome aboard!
build with love
😂
Hi did you fix the problem in cdi and fix it in your bike
+ flying merkel
Nice
Good,2
Blody music!
Sorry, I know.
you didn't lap the taper when installing the new rotor/flywheel. big no-no as they are custom locked together . good chance of it slipping and snapping the key now.
I'll look into.
Hello sir ,Good Day! Permission to download this video for educational purposes only. Thank you❤
Yes, sure
Nice video.With the sound turned off.......
Bro we want the virago finale
Still the missing part not been able to procure due to payment gateway failure but trying my best...
Constantly showing post World War II and modern motorcycles while talking about pre-war bikes and TT races
Yes I owned a 1973 Kawasaki H2 750. It was a handful. But damn it sounded good under acceleration.
Nice
Appreciate all your attention to detail on this Classic Virago. I know many never see the value or enjoy just how amazing these bikes are, seeing just the bad press, but every maker, including the most revered; the likes of BMW, Ducati, and even the Entirely-Sainted Harley Davidson have all had their moments of doubt and pain with some models. Have a great day all who ride the disfigured or unloved two-wheeler that captures a spirit few cagers ever guess.
I have an 82 750 virago. I ride it all the time
Where do you get parts for it??
Innerweb
I did managed from various sources online, UK (Starter motor), US , Australia (cmsnl.com) ,Taiwan (headlight), Hong Kong eBay(front fork tubes) and some small items from China. But now I am having issue purchasing carburetor diaphragm, though it's available I am having some payment gateway issues online. It's a last part that have stalled my ongoing project.
That's great to know, where you are from?
Hey im looking for a battery for one of these what did you use
it's in my 5th episode.
Thank you !
Welcome!
Auspicious coincidence
What about?
Can u please put link in the description from where did u bought this cdi replacement kit
www.indianelectronicsind.com
i cannot get the timing on the rear cylinder of my 82 Yamaha virago 750 correct. the hole on the flywheel As well as the notch in the crankshaft is facing downwards but the piston is top dead center i get the hole in the flywheel to tds and the piston in at the bottom being 180 any clues on what i did wrong i completely rebuilt engine
You can find it on Virago Tech Forum.
WTH, you take us this far and then nothing? 🤷
Sorry... Thanks for patience. Waiting for diaphragms of carburetor. Next will be the final episode.
I like this, just like Racer tv , but extended
Always good to see another one rescued. But note yours is not a Midnight Special...they had black motor, black exhaust etc etc & lots of gold trim eg the grab rail around the seat. I bought one new in 1983
Do you still have that 83's? Yes I know the difference, but can be converted with paint job. It just reads 'Special' now but might add Midnight on side covers, I guess.
How are you with your 82 XV750? I have the same bike and still running good. 99% original.
You have to work on your audio-levels...
Affirmative. Thank you.
I'm looking a factory backrest for xv750
You can find it on Virago Tech Forum.
🏍👍🏼💪🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Nice one Mesh... and wishing you a Happy 2023! 😊
Thank you 🙌
part 6 ??
I am waiting for a part, the last piece puzzle, the carburetor diaphragm.
@cyclonefish1463 Looking forward to next video
Stator plate installed in wrong direction Pickup coil should be in between 5 to 6 O’clock position ur pickup coil is @ 11 O’ clock position pls contact cdi manufacturer and correct ur coil plate position as per magnet timing then match ur ignition timing as u require 1.8mm or 2.1mm BTDC
Noted.
I can remember when these first came out; I thought it was really cool !
Very nice work on this restoration. I am building a cafe racer, so I am kind of restoring the bike as well. But after I restore it I will cut and shape it as I desire.
That's what I am doing, first restoring it to the original. if I want to convert it to bobber or cafe, I will think that later. It's also rainy season now the work is stall for a while. will continue in Oct Nov.
Hi, I'm in Uganda and I need a Yamaha 750xv special 1982 motor, how do I get to get one?
@@diasdoe3664 Try Ebay
You're not "restoring" shit, mate. You're butchering a beautiful bike into a stupid fad that is uncomfortable, has no practical purpose and looks like shit.
Could you post a link for the "Manufacturer Demo" video. I do not see it at the Indian Electronics website. Thanks.
It was long ago it's no longer on you tube, however you can send the request to Abdul Rahaman of INDIAN ELECTRONICS he had sent me the link (not youtube) .
Hello, nice project! I have the same one that i had by my grandfather , do you know how works the setting of the suspension, on the "valve" where it's write "dumping".? Good work 🤜🏻
Turn the adjuster clock or anti clockwise to the chose setting you want, soft, medium and hard (the setting with the slot.) you also need to measure the air pressure in the shock. add air if the pressure is not up to 4.0 kg/cm (57psi). Since this rear shock absorber is old school tech and finding it damaged or air hose oil leaks replace the entire shock. (DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE SHOCK ABSORBER IT CONTAINS NITROGEN) new after market shock absorbers are available if you need to replace it,
@@cyclonefish1463 hello Thank you very much for those explainations, it helps me a lot bro!
I do believe a midnight special had a blacked out engine with polished fins and covers chromed in gold. What is in the video is just a special. Good luck with the build. they are nice bikes. I have had three, last one I still have is a 97 1100. Love it!
You're right. During 81--83 Yamaha had different variants for different markets, the only difference was color and safety features. But it's was the same bike. I had bought this used XV750 in 1992. I wanted to paint it that way (Midnight Special) But the Gold color is way too gody for me.
plis can you tell how muc does it cost
CDI: Rs. 8000/- Shifter aprox Rs.400/-
@@cyclonefish1463 I saw the part 2 video. Do you have one after completing the installation? What's your verdict? I'm looking to get the kit too, how is the high rpm performance?
Nice video 👍 is the aftermarket shifter made from a rx shifter ?
Shifter I bought from a dealer in Bombay centrals bike market , before I order online from safexbikes.com was a total crap. Made from RX shifter... I don't think that shifter is same size.
@@cyclonefish1463 the left hand side (gold ) colored one it seemed like a rx shifter
When's the next video coming?
soon.
u are not from india
I am.
Good, your project is very good. Could you help me with a question I have about the fuel used in this type of Yamaha motorcycle and if you have to mix gasoline with oil?
No. Mixing gasoline with oil only happens in 2 stroke bikes, not with this ?
Do not mix oil. Not with four stroke engine. Oil mix is done only on two stroke engine bikes for example RD350 and other two strokes of other brands beside Yamaha.
Good Cdi kit from Mr Abdul Bangalore. This is really worth.
how much does it cost? do they ship worldwide? Is this 1/4 or 1/2 price of vape?
It can cost from INR 8000 up to INR 45000+, depends from whom, where and what type you're buying, the one I used cost me just Rs. 8000 only.
Hello There , How is part 5 coming along ? It’s been 5 months since part 4, did you run into major problems with something or the starter ? 5-29-22 Update edit, I lost interest in your videos because you take too long to answer my comment and too long to post a new video on your Yamaha Virago project ! So I Unsubscribed , Bye.
Sorry Garys, Electrical wiring (from the scratch) was a big challenge, I had to redo it, on second attempt it worked out well. Part 5 is already published.
Nice video however the way mechanic took the gear lever out, holding tool and removing magnet using wrong puller, shows not enough care have been put in. This kind of puller damages the magnet for sure.
Removing magnet using wrong puller OR removing the flywheel which was located at the back of points? For the rest I understand your concern.
@@cyclonefish1463 yes, the magnet/flywheel behind there points plate, should be pulled using the threads in the middle using proper puller or min a bolt of correct size which when tightened will take the magnet out. The magnet is a precision component and riveted assembly so pulling the face plate of the magnet upsets the magnet balance. The magnet is dynamically balanced so should be taken care including not dropping it anytime.
@@GautamChatterji He used puller@ 9:28. I am also keeping the original points just in case if I am not happy with CDI I can switch back to points. But the real dilemma is finding the original ignition coils, my one of the original HT coils isn't firing and it is hard to find replacement, also the reason to opt for CDI.
@@cyclonefish1463 yes that’s the good plan. Consistency of CDI at all temperature and riding conditions is important. Some people have switched back to points recently due to the missing character of RD let alone any issues with the CDI. I’ll be doing a full length video on points sometime soon and will address the coil issue there too. Meantime keep a lookout for original used coil on FB selling groups or you can always procure US spec coils.
@@GautamChatterji I look forward to seeing it Sir.. What are the drawbacks of CDI? I haven't experienced any RD with CDI before.
Waiting for virago restoration part5..
wiring is almost finished, just double checking the wire connections, also some issues with battery. but will post asap.
