calamitykaz Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Hello everyone... I have just joined the Club.........I live in Northern Ireland and am very new to Yamaha's. I currently own a Kawasaki ER6-F (09 black)and have also owned a Honda CBF125 (also black) but have very recently purchased a Virago XV535 (92 Silver), this new bike is very much a project as it currently isn't running but for £100 what do you expect !!! My hubby has already given her the 'once over' and has diagnosed that the fuel pump is faulty, so we have purchased a new fuel pump from ebay..... it arrived today so fingers crossed....lol. Will keep you all updated.......hope yous have'nt dosed off yet..... If we need help we will definately be screaming for your advice & opinions on the forum, Cheers CKaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
