    hi josh, had a friend look at the carbs and he said they where ok, as for the heating ellements,i plead total ignorance here! dont know anything about them? are they fitted from new? or aftermarket? andwhat do they look like? thanks.

    hi josh, it starts ok,no probs,but runs flat,and when you go to open her up its just got no response, then after about a day or two of no more than 35 mph! it seems to be ok,then later,after a few days,same thing happens? i know it poss the carbs,but would like to try a single coversion, seems less hastle and think the service parts would be a lot cheaper, 60 quid for a carb slide!

    hi,newbi here. i have a 535 virago,and while i dont know much about carbs, iam fed up with mine! it can be cleaned,and then if i leave the bike to stand for more than a wk,its a pig! i have seen on the virago tech site,which seems to be mostly american, a manifold conversion into one carb, the manifold is simple to make, but i dont know which carb to get? has anyone tried,or done this?
