If it's a replacement set of handlebars your after, find out the width of your XVS and if it's 7'8s i have a set of XV125 handlebars that we can sort something out for!!!!

Thats not a Standard SE i'll tell you that fora fact i'll dig out some of my old piccies of mine.

Aye FS1E's sell for around 1-2 grand, however as the FS1SE is a specialist bike it only sells for 800 max really, they're a bike not alot of people want but they are rare as nails!

Hya there mate, you've got yourself a small goldmine there to a specialist collector!!! There's only 10 roadworthy FS1SE's known to exist by the Fizzy club atm. I recently had an FS1SE till a nice copper caused me to crash it!!! (The C**T!!!) If you can post some piccies i can give you a rough idea, but normally they go for around 500-1.000. Depending very much on the condition and if the right buyer turns up!! Your best bet with it is not to ebay it if you want to sell it but do it privately, as the SE's are a collectors bike. but if it's in near mint condition your looking at maybe 800quid to the right buyer. If not anything below, thats including an MOT and Tax btw! Hope that helps fella

For those of us around west/north Yorkshire just wodnering who's going to this year's baildon Harley Show?? I'll be riding down on the thursday and camping till monday morning!! Look out for a Black/Grey XV125 Virago with L plates lol (doing my test soon!!!) cya there folks!!!

Ok cheers for the help mate, it turns out the battery isn't charging at all and from what i can tell the wires that come from the alternator and go to the rectifier are getting hot, but no the wries coming from the rectifier to the alternator!! I'll try cleaning up the battery connects see if that helps, i believe the bike has in the last 3 months had a new rectifier so i'm wondering if the problem is infact the alternator!! Anyone have any idea where you can get a Virago 125 manual? I've tried all over and so far failed

well i spoke to the local dealers(padgetts) and they said it's a common fault with the bike running too lean, now i've had another problem crop up¬¬ the alternator and rectifier are getting very hot, coupled with the battery seems to not be charging right when the bikes running, anyone got any ideas/ had this issue!??

Hya there guys, ok so about 3 weeks ago i got my self a 1997 Xv 125 Virago, absolutely fab bike, not had any really big issues bar one, which i'm not 100% sure what is causing it. When you run the bike and let the throttle fully or even just 3/4 off then try to apply power again, there seems to be a 10-20 second lag in the power pick up and in this time the bike sounds like it's, tryinig to get more petrol but simply can't. Now i have tried running the bike with the choke slightly open and it seems to totally eliminate this problem. Any ideas>? Also on another note, how easy are the Highway Hawk Slash pipes to fit on the virago? Cheers guys
