    Hi All

    I am looking for a complete exhaust (new) for a 95 XV750 Virago, I have been trawling the internet and can't get any straight answers from anyone, at this time I have no exhaust on the bike and every one wants to sell me a part system or slip on's, when I am emailing the suppliers I am just getting conflicting answers, "like yes sir it is complete, it comes with all the fixings needed to couple it to your existing pipes"...Grrrr! or "we wouldn't sell half an exhaust" Grrrrr!

    Can any nice intelligent Yamaha owner give me some help with this one please?

    Hopefully all fixed now, I found a break in the black wire coming from the pick-up coil, a quick sort out with the soldering iron and all is well, but only after taking the alternator & middle gear casings off.

    Now all I need is some new gaskets ….. Many thanks for any advise that was given.

    It could be a coil.

    Try swapping them with a similar model if you know someone who has one see if its that.

    If its shutting down on the power it sounds more like a coil thats breaking down.

    Also check your plugs etc. Start with the simple stuff and work back to the CDI

    Hi,

    Thanks for your help friend…been looking around & I think I’ve worked it out, it’s looking more likely to be the pick-up coils so now draining down the oil and getting into the engine to get em out…deep joy.

    Thanks again for your help

    Hi, can you help me.

    I have had my full power Canadian v-max for two months so know very little about it.

    I started it up yesterday and all was fine, I let it warm up a little then set off, as I accelerated away it cut out momentarily then picked up again, when I put the power down a second time the same happened, it continued to do this more and more frequently until it stopped altogether.

    It now doesn’t start at all, it turns over but there is no spark, I was wondering if the CDI unit may have gone and if so was there a way to test it?
