Hello! Last weekend, during a visit home to see family, I bought my dad's bike. A 1983 Virago XV500.
About a year ago he bought the bike from a family friend with the intent of using it as a commuter bike. He did what was needed to get it running, and then just let it sit, running it occasionally just to make sure it still ran. Since he wasn't using it, I decided it would be better off being my commuter bike.
I know I need to replace the front tire and should probably replace the rear one, too even though the tread looks fine. Any thoughts?
I'd like to find an owner's/repair manual. My google searching abilities don't appear to be up to snuff.
This is the first bike I've owned and, once I get it registered, will be the first one I've ridden. Any help or tips is much appreciated.
