fridgedoc Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Hi Guys New here so hope I'm in the right place, at the ripe old? age of 62, I have just purchased a xv 125 virago so I'm a born again biker (brought up on the BSA bantam the TRIUMPH cub etc.) "Ace Cafe" blah......blah....blah...... those in the know, know what I'm talking about, back to the xv, I've bought this bike without seeing it and have been told it's a non runner, now I don't expect miracles just looking for a few pointers and opinions, they where supposedly told by a Yamaha dealer (in France) that one cylinder was low on compression, now I would have thought that the bike would start but run lumpy and be gutless when ridden, now that's my opinion, what's yours!!!! Any thoughts? Any ideas? All greatfully received, and thanks in advance The fridgedoc
