  • Post maintenance test ride after 6 months of repairs, clean up and a good solid tune up.
    1. Adjusted valve clearance and checked compression.
    2. Overhauled entire front brakes (piston, calipers, brake lines and master cylinder).
    3. Overhauled carbs - ultrasonic cleaning, installed K&L carb kit and properly tuned for altitude (idle fuel jet needle) and synchronized carbs.
    4. Replaced Fuel & Air filters.
    5. Changed rear differential gear oil.
    6. Replaced rubber bushings in rear shocks.
    7. Replaced ignition coils, caps and plugs.
    The bike is running like new. It starts right up without choke and idles perfectly. There is no backfiring, no hesitation or misfires and it pulls like a tractor. In comparison to today's bikes, the acceleration is almost laughable, but that's not what the Virago was designed for. Yeah, it's not a speed demon, but it still holds its own for a 37 year old V-twin that was booked in at 68hp.
    A little bit of care goes a long way with these old bikes and this one seems to be pretty happy with how it is all set up and properly tuned. I checked the plugs after the bike had cooled and they are both showing a perfect even brown burn - plugs never lie! Pretty happy that I've been able to get it back to a reasonable state. My app showed that my 0-60 time was just over 5 seconds.
    Other maintenance done so far:
    Replaced seat cover
    Repaired instrument lighting
    Repaired low fuel level system (fuel tank sensor)
    Repaired fuel tank connector/wire
    Repaired fuel pump wire
    General cleaning and restoring
