Unleash extra throttle response, acceleration in a Virago XV 250 XV250 for FREE by drilling the carb slide and clipping the slide spring! Its worth it! 😈 The bike revs harder, revs up quicker, decels quicker and accelerates quicker! The downer it needs to be reved slightly harder to get off the line!
*****Drilling the slide allows the vacuum to have a quicker effect on the lifting of the slide. This increases the responsiveness of the slide to the throttle and increases air-flow to the intake. This is usually necessary on most bikes to tune for the increased air/fuel and change needle settings and jets****
Road Test at 11:30, hear the difference for yourself!
Sorry for the long video and Description but there has been A LOT of confusion and negativity surrounding this mod! I don't see why! These are beginers bikes and very conservative and these mods make it react to the throttle a lot better!
No I don't have a link to the "instructions" I can send you, hence the 20 minute video! hit pause and read them, take a screen shot!!!
YOU MAY have to re-jet or re-tune to run richer due to more air flow the bike may be lean. I have made videos on this, please watch them.

Be slow and meticulous, its an easy mod, nothing complex, if you can't do it don't try, and its all on you. If your bike doesn't get the same results its not my fault. Do this modification at your own risk! Don't ask me to tune your bike over messenger it's your bike, they are all different!
It DOES NOT increase horsepower, you will not turn your bike into a sportster doing a free youtube mod, this mod increases the throttle response and acceleration. which makes it more fun and quicker to 100km/hr. A bigger hole or more spring cut off does not equal more acceleration!
That all been said enjoy, in my experience it really brings the little twin alive! Go nuts!

I finished the sprocket swap last month and I'm doing this mod right now. Thanks for the inspiration and making it easy to mod!
Cheers, enjoy mate
You are a legend! My old man bought my virago about 17yrs ago. Other biked have come n went but the virago remains! Made a few changes over the years but the carb mos is next on the list!
Thanks for your videos.
No worries mate! They are a great little bike
Thank you so much for your videos you've inspired me to mod my xv250 and make it my own. Im not really a youtuber but ill try and post a video soon and show everything I've done with your help. I can't wait to see what this mod and the sprocket change will do for the performance. Again much thanks!!
Glad it was uesful! The sprocket swap transforms the bike 👍👍👍
Glad i found your channel mate. I never realized Tasmania looks like that! Its so nz like compared to the rest of aus.
Lol absolutely mate, western Tasmania in particular is very like NZ. God i love NZ. You are from a beautiful part of thd world mate. Hope you like the channel man!
Brilliant. You always make these mods look easy. Those small drill bit are a bugger for breaking when I use them, maybe it’s my bad technique. I’m glad I have my dads old drill press now, always better results. Awesome views on the test ride.
Thanks. I was super happy with the results it was such a big increase. Im hell bent on doing this bike with basic tools to show people it can be done by anyone in the drive way but i would have felt a bit mors confident using a drill press for this mod!
Awesome mate. You've just got another subscriber. Watching all the way from Ecuador 🇪🇨
Cheers mate! Take care
Finally was able to get on track with all the episodes, I missed a few and was hard to catch up é_è
Good job with gilby, tho I personally liked the military bag more and probably could have done without the windscreen, but to each their own; impressive work nonetheless, man! :)
Lol thanks. The screen, i am in two minds about. Makes such a difference at higher speed, dont love the looks. Fortunately it takes a minute to put on and off. That carb mod makes a huge difference. Bang for buck its first then the gearing change.
Great work mate. Definitely not something I'd like to have a bash at, lol. Could tell straight away when you opened it up from the sound .
Tcrs fella ✊
Was nerve wracking but turned out awesome!
Left you a like, and thanks for the shout out, Happy to have been a little help :)
TattsForLife Thanks again mate, best mod ive done!
Yah I love it, have you jetted it yet?
TattsForLife not yet!
you should lol, bring it life just a bit more, And by the way you know you drive alot on the wrong side of the road sir lol
TattsForLife lol danger is my middle name!!!!
Awesome video, ok sign of the cross I will attempt it on Sunday, cross my fingers
SOUTHERN CROSS SURVIVAL do it do it do it!!! 😀
Yep, you are write about a giggle fest 😊 that's just how I felt after I did the carby by mod on my DR650 🤣🤣🤗
jeff taswelder its nice to have more power in a bike you already know so well! 😀
Hey mate. I did a tune job on my v star 250 taking out the slide to adjust the needle to run slightly leaner since it was running rich. I found that the bike wanted to die after first start when revving it, this was because the slide was slightly dirty and dry. So i dont think it was running lean, its the slide was not moving freely to richen the mixture when on power. A bit of oil or silicon spray helps a lot.
Good tip mate! Thanks 😀
So is there any sort of lubricant that helps the slide move or is it just dry all the time?
Makes you wonder white they don’t come out of the factory that way. Nice job mate.
Thanks mate! I reckon cause its a "beginers" bike they have made it as sedate as possible so there is no snatchy throttle etc. If if was a 100hp plus bike i would understand but for 22hp its funny. Bang for buck best mod so far!
love it ❤️
It worked well!
thank you mate ill be giving it a go on my 125
Let us know how you go mate. Id be intetested to know if you get the same awesome results! 😀
Once again cheap mod major results 😆😆😎 cool
Yup this one had a big impact. I was stoked 😀
So is it the drilled hole that makes it leaner or the looser spring?
Drilling the slide allows the vacuum to have a quicker effect on the lifting of the slide. This increases the responsiveness of the slide to the throttle and increases air-flow to the intake. This is usually necessary on most bikes to tune for the increased air/fuel and change needle settings and jets.
I'm seriously considering doing this mod. However, I've been told that 5th gear becomes a little less responsive, seemingly less torquay. (not that 5th is a responsive, torquay gear at the best of times). What is your experience? I'm running 17/42 sprockets. Thank you in advance. Brad
Nah not im my experience, all gears gave more throttle response.
@iRidetas Thank you. Great video's man. Extremely helpful information. Cheers from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Cheers mate! Just be fairly precise with the carb slide mods and you will love it. Particularly with the gearing combo you have!
@@iRidetas Thank you.
Is it possible that the screws are JIS. I’ve noticed my standard screwdrivers don’t quite fit and some of them look a little worse for wear.
Darren McKay im pretty sure they are Darren, which is a good point. Two of these looked like someone had used a chainsaw and a rabid wolverine to try and get them out!!! 😕 I replaced with hardened phillips but would have liked hex head
Yes, all the screws on the Yamaha are JIS. I bought a Vessel JIS screwdriver, and it has made removing screws a cinch, with no damage to the screw heads.
Note to self:
Get JIS screwdrivers before buying myself a Virago!
Before any Japanese bike really!!
How does the slide mod affect gas mileage? Better or worse?
Negligible, it literally reduces vacuum pull on the slide allowing it to raise and fall more rapidly and inline with the throttle movements
Great channel! Do you know if this is possible for 535 too? Cheers
any cv carb with a slide but have zero experience with xv535. Dont they have 2 carbs, if so youll have to balance them
iRidetas cheers for replying...I didn't think of that...lucky I asked! Thanks again 👍🏻
Hey mate. Got a link to that guide you were looking at? Really want to do this but am very keen on having a proper step by step guide.
Nope, what I put on screen is all there is to it!
When you installed the new filter and crank case breather did you have to do any adjustments for fuel to air ratio?
th-cam.com/video/KRTHiH3olWY/w-d-xo.html in this one
When will you be buildiing the brat bike?
papatrump start in the next couple of weeks!
Does this really work
Yes, its not magic it just reduces the vacuum oressure on the carb slide slightly allowing it to go up an down quicker thus giving more throttle response.
Where did you get the instructions from? Thanks
As shown in the video 6 sigma
Can this be done to the 535 xv too?!?! Seem super insane!!
Any CV carb
Dope.. might try it! Does it increase HP too?
No just increases throttle response
Ok ty mate. Madly binging this. I see all episodes in 3 days. THANK YOU for this amazing content!! Grateful
No worries, good luck with your build!
What's the xv250 modding Facebook page link?
Do a search for xv250 vstar mods
This increase the HP ?
