neversaydie Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I think thats the time they switched to the "proper" fuel tank rather than the dummy one with the tank under the seat Noisy not surfaced yet then with his usual greeting for a Virago owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Despite those who take the piss out of Viggies and Dragstars, the sheer number of their owners here does testify that they're popular bikes, nonetheless... Unlike moronic iPhone owners who queue up for three days to buy the newest one, just because it's an iPhone, us bikers are bloody picky about our rides. Must be a good reason for this popularity...! Far as I can figure, the only actual change to the 535 after '89 was they seat height is slightly different. Fuel tank went up by 1.1gal (15-19l) in '86. There's a rumour that some years' Viragoes suffer dodgy starter clutches, but I believe it's not year specific. The 1100 Dragstars have a similar issue. Just keep an eye on it.

paul-666 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Funny enough I was going to as a similar question about the Virago 750 version lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailee Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I was under the impression that pre 90 versions had the starter problem after which it was changed to a solenoid system which cured it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
