  2. Hi Guys n Gals, My name is Paula i'm 36 and i am from Wolverhampton West midlands. I have been riding on and off for about 6 years and at the moment i own a non running XV535 and i am getting a GS500E this weekend
  3. Hi, I have a XV535 (yamaha virago) 91 plate and i bought it a few weeks ago. I got it thru MOT and then stored it in my hubby's van for a few nights then when i got it out i stored it in the garden for 2-3 nights and went out every day to let it tick over for a few minutes but it smelt very strong of exhaust fumes. On day 3 i put fresh fuel in and revved it about 4 times (off choke), every time i released the rev it was puffing out white/silver smoke then on the 4-5th rev it seemed to stop dead and went pop I have had a mate take starter motor off and that is fine. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?? I have been told that this might be pistons or something? If this is the case does anyone know where i can get it fixed pretty cheap please
