Hi guys,

My virago starts fine, rides fine but as you ride suddenly engine stops as if fuel cut off. When you open the petrol tank lid and closes again, it starts fine. At this point as it starts there is a loud putt sound like silencers blowing.

Since lid opening resolves the issue right away, I think lid vent is blocked so that air doesnt go in. There were heavy rains lately and bike was ridden in rains about a month so I think lid is rusty inside?

What makes the big blow in silencers?

I think this is not sediment issue in engine's gas feeding system since the problem goes right away after opening lid.

Thanks guys..

And I made a mod in the rear sprocket lately, I replaced the standard teeth sprocket with a smaller sprocket and the bike runs very fast now. Thought you guys will give a try.

Excess non burnt fuel in the silencers. A blocked vent is a classic bike problem.

Thanks Stupid Boy...
