Will a simple piece flexi tube do the trick ?

Hi I have a virago 125cc and a few years back it started to refuse to start with the starter, I could still do a "running start"(dont know how you say this in english). It seems like it almost want to start, but not quite there, it will on the other hand start nicely on the starter when the engine is hot. I have changed the started, and done a few other jobs, but its been a while now, I have kinda given up on it, but here the other day I though, lets give it one more try:D When I think back, I think I might have pressed the starter while it was allready on, this might help to tell you whats wrong, because neither I nor the mechanics I have talked to have any clue. …

Hi, I have a 1996 250 Virago, it will run for a few mins but when it warms up or reaches higher revs it blows the main fuse, I replaced the rectifier/regulator unit, the one with the heat shrink on it, but the problem remains, if I replace the fuse it will blow again straight away, but if I leave for a while it will start again, I'm running out of fuses!!! Any ideas? Thanks, Colm.

Hey ya'all, I have an 81 Virago XV750. Most of the time when I start it it makes a HORRIBLE grinding sound then eventually stops. Somebody told me that it was because it has plastic gears or plastic something in there. Can somebody please tell me what the hell this guy was talking about or if you know what makes it grind like that? Sincerely, LadyBiker99

Hi everyone, The old man's been looking at getting a moto guzzi california as he is now unable to fit behind the tank of the fireblade, but whilst on eBay came across a Yamaha XZ550, complete but in need of recomissioning, looks very unusual as its an oversquare v-twin but are they worth anything and are they any good?. hopefully someone else on here will have experiance with these 80s' bikes

HI All Looking for a bit of help, recently bought a bike after not been on one for 40 years, its a Yamaha WR250F 2018 model, which has run great until now, last week I was out and it missed and spluttered and finally stopped and would not start, after leaving it for about 15 minutes all was well and it got me home, changed the plug which looked ok, done a few more rides out and all ok, so I thought maybe I had some dirty fuel. anyway went out today and it just cut out, engine warning light was flashing 3 long followed by 3 short flashes ,it did start after leaving it for a bout 30 mins, just looking for any help at what the problem may be Many Thanks …

We kinda dont know what to do now. I really hope someone can help. greetings Roel

Hi All, Bought a yamaha XJ6 N for my commute around town and boy is it fun! Been adding a few bits and bobs to it and generally replacing OEM with Chinese plastic but still its looking pretty badass these days. Even if it does make a racket ;-) What do you guys think? Anything overly critical instantly recieves a slap in the face with a motorbike glove as challenge to a race around London...
