Hi, Currently not a yam owner ( I did have a XJ6 many years ago though). I have been looking at a Virago that has come up for sale. I live in Cheshire and ride out to Wales etc. However a quick google has flagged up a potentially big problem in that some electronic device (CDC or something) fails with age and once it fails you have no choice but to scrap it off, can this be right? Thanks in anticipation, Ian
