Hi folks...how much do you think I will have to pay to have my '94 535 virago carbs sorted, as part of a service ? ( Just need a ball park...so I can start saving my pennies!!!!) Cheers Stuart

Is it right that you can't change a Virago 535 plug leads without having to change the coil ? This seems very bizarre to me...but that's what I have read ???? Cheers Stuart

Defo not the choke...that seems fine.... will have to get carbs etc checked out! thanks!!

Hi guys... I have a Virago 535....Starts really well when she's cold ( almost immediately)...but if I try and start it when she's hot....she'll turn over and not fire...wearing the battery down! If I have waited a few mins tp cool a bit it seems OK again... I am a bit concerned, in case I stall it at lights or summat !!! Any ideas? Cheers

Many thanks...any recommendations ?

Hi folks...I have a 1993 Virago 535 and the front tire is a Bridgestone Mag Mopus L303 3.00 S19 Any idea what size inner tube I am looking for ? Apologies ( once again) for my basic ignorance!!! Cheers Stuart

Hi guys... I have a virago 535 1994 model... What size spark plug socket am I needing ? ( toolkit I am looking at gives a choice of either 16 or 21 mm) Is there a standard fit ? Sorry to be so useless!!! Cheers Stuart

Sorry about this... I have a 1994 Virago 535 and I am looking for a cheap tool kit for it...... I presume I am looking for metric tools, not imperial... Sorry to be such a f*** wit !

Hi Folks... As a fairly newbie sort of returned rider, with little or no mechanical skill, I was wondering about potential service costs on my 1994 Virago 535... I plan to take a short trip to France in June with a mate, and although my bike seems to run pretty well, I thought maybe I should get it serviced before I go....having said that, it had a service (oil/plugs /filter etc) just before I bought it 18 months ago, and I have only done about 500 miles on it since!!!! Any ideas of the sort of costs I could expect, also what sort of work should be carried out??? Apologies for my ignorance!!! Cheers. Stuart

Thanks for replies... I was looking at perhaps something like this : http://www.ewetsuits.com/acatalog/motorbike-drybag.html Got quite goods reviews I think and only about £20

I am hoping to go on a week trip to France in June...I have as top box, so need it for some clothes etc!!!!

Hi Folks As a sort of newbie...I am looking for cheap and cheerful pillion seat bag to go ohm my Virago 535 ( I don't want panniers/saddlebags as I believe one has to have supports one more the indicators???? Any help gratefully received!!!!!! Cheers Stuart

Thanks everyone!!!

Hi Folks After 40 odd years of not riding, about 18 months ago I bought myself a virago go 535. Although I don't do many miles on it I love riding it. I'm now 61 and I wonder why I waited so long to get a bike again. I went out for a ride today about 50 miles round trip in the winter sun, there really is nothing like it. Look forward to enjoying your company on this forum. Cheers Stuart (OK The topic title should read "in" South Wales not "on" South Wales! Just goes to show what an oldie I am!!)
