I just started watching this video and I wish I watched it before I ordered my 6sigma jet kit. I'm a fellow Aussie, live in Victoria.
Imo 6sigma kits are such a rip off mate sorry but fingers crossed it works for you.
Dead set legend brother! Had my Xv250 bobber up for sale was over it, then found your channel, instantly took bike of market an have fully stripped bike to customise it how I want it! Thanks for your awesome content
Cheers mate, good luck with it
Have you documented any of your build?
I dont know why but some of the stuff you do on your bike i dont need done to mine but i just like to watch anyways.
Talking to a few guys these bikes seem very tolerant of pod changes, exhaust mods etc. Not sure mine needed rejetting but wanted to do it to make the vid! Thanks glad you enjoy!
such a great series, thanks again for sharing with us
No worries at all. Im addicted to fiddling with this bike so glad you are enjoying it and hopefully its usefull! 😀
Nice one dude, love it, man what a beautiful place u live in awesome to ride in the country man
Lol and thats just the block around the town. Some amazing roads to ride! Cheers 😀
Love the videos. I currently ride an XSR900 , but considering buying a little xv250 to bob, and tinker on. Looks like a fun ride, and easy to mod.
Cheers from Canada.
Very easy bike to work on! Cheers
@@iRidetas ended up buying the VStar, and currently doing the carb mod/exhaust! Thanks again.
Awesome, enjoy! 👍👍
Man, it looks like some of those screws were welded on! I sure miss adjusting carbs. Nice job mate.
Lol said no one ever!!!!! Yeah it was pretty frozen on. Dont love using vicegrips but hey, it worked!! Cheers!
Man I wish mine was quick enough to require a watermark lol.. First highway test today and pinned wide open I couldn't get a speeding ticket if my life depended on it lol. Time to get those sprockets done and lose some weight lol.
Lol sounds like sprocket change maybe needed. Mine breaks the limit fairly easily!!!
Great video man, the build is going great
Thanks bro! 😀 im pretty happy with it. No major issues which is good!
Yes I fixing do my fuel pump delete mod next
Amazing video as always.
Thanks mate! Hope if helps someone!
Great job. I just noticed that you relocated the thermo switch, could you show me where you put it? I disconnected mine and now I having difficulties connecting the right wires. Thanks
I just changed the jets on a my grandson's girlfriend's xv250. It also had a K&N air filter on it. I used a 20 idle jet and a 117.5 main and it works great. I'm at a low altitude in Texas. What's the altitude where you are?
450m altitude
Thanks...I need to do mine:) Q: I've decided to change sprockets to 17/42 teeth with new exhaust and K&N Filter...question - what can I expect , performance wise (Gear Range and Performance)?...Thanks in Advance
All those mods are done and more in Budget Bobber Build: th-cam.com/play/PLmVgB9c9_om0nwaTBngXW4UUOfMjvfSrn.html
Hey mate, I have pods and pipes on my xv250, and its running super lean right now especially at higher power band. From what I understand, adjusting the fuel air ratio would be the first step, then possibly move onto rejet? Also did you consider adjusting the needle height at all?
Jakeb W two videos up from that one is adjusting the needle one slot down for mid range mate! See link below

I've done all the same mods but my needle has been moved down 1 notch in the carb, I didn't get that stumbling when you were tuning at idle, but now from 3/4 to full throttle it absolutely dies, it's fastest at 3/4 throttle. Guess is the main jet is too rich?
I'd start be winding it in all the way set it to 1 3/4 turns out which is stock and work from there. If it's dying at 3/4 It's prob lean. To rich would be gassing you with fumes etc. Very difficult to diagnose other bikes issue with tuning without been there. Pull the plugs, clean them the ride it and see what your bike is doing mate!
@@iRidetas thanks for the tip, will do.
when adjusting the tume was there something covering the adjuster? because mine does
Yes brass plug need to be drilled out
Hello, I absolutely love mine v250. I feel that it works lean. I wonder why you did choose the 20 and 115 instead of a 25 120 or 30 130 for example? or some other numbers? thanks for the video. I definelly will rejet
Cause research suggested that, that would be the best combo for the pipes i put on it! Otherwise it would just to rich mate!
hi,... just watched your video, thanks for doing that!...
my 2000 virago 250 mixture adjust screw was adjusted all the way in (lean)... with no change in idle or running status, any ideas why this is happening? thanks,... the bike seems to be running fine,... just smells like its really running rich...
Its prob been rejetted on the pilot by previous owner, is running to rich so it cancels out the lean drop!
I’m a bit stumped here, I changed the main to 115 and the pilot to 20 and raised the needle with two washers, without the baffles I get after firing when releasing the throttle when I rev the bike and also if I turn the air fuel screw in it doesn’t really stumble...if I put the baffles back in it it seems to get rid of the backfiring but I have to turn the air fuel screw out almost 3 turns. I can’t tell if it’s running rich or lean. Ideally I’d like to run it without the baffles but would that mean going up in the pilot to a 22.5 and the main to 120? just the main? Just the pilot? At 17.5 I could get it to stumble turning in but sometimes the throttle response would bog down if I turn it :/ I believe my altitude in Toronto here is 76 meters above sea level too if that helps...
If it doesnt stumble pilot is prob to rich. 3 turns out is not excessive imo. Check your plugs it will tell you if its rich or lean.
so the main and pilot jet get tightened down when replaced? its the air fuel screw that gets adjusted right?
Correct
@@iRidetas thank you sir
Hi,... Thanks for the video. Would you know the screw size that bolts on the carb float bowl cover?.... Thanks
M4
Many thanks for the reply mate.... replaced mine with Allen head screws. No more stripping Phillips heads. The trick was finding correct fasteners... had to get longer and cut then chase the threads.
Off topic, but does that small windscreen make a difference?

Roughly what kind of fuel mileage/kilometerage are you getting after doing this install?
No idea! I don't keep track of milage on any vehicle I own.
Dear Iridetas,
First of all congratulations on your videos, on your work and on the fact that you shared with the world.
I was wondering if you could help me with something on my 93 Virago. How did you achieve that desynchronized engine sound (more like an Harley)? My Virago does not make that kind of sound, and I would really like to have my engine sound like that...
Best regards, Carlos
Umm not sure mate havent done anything but play with what you see in my videos! Cheers
mine doesnt stumble when its turned all the way to the right, what does this mean?
Too rich.
How did you know what size jets to go for ?
Research! 👍👍👍
on which speed starts to squees the power ?..
Um ?
Does it make your bike faster?
No, it stops it blowing up from running to lean from the other mods ive done!
@@iRidetas Have you done any performance mods?
