so seems nothing to be overly concerned with. thanks for all the replies. mine runs fine only whines you when lift off the throttle. new bike syndrome and worries!!

so all seem prone to whining huh? mines the 750 and got a bit worried as not had a shaft drive before. will do all oils in any case

bike is a low mile minter. no nasty clonks of bangs, just this annoying whine when lifting. seems to common on some and not on others

I have read that all viragos whine when lifting off. Dropped the oil and clean as a whistle, no nasty filings at all. Garage happy and said its down to the gears having no play so just ride. Can anyone confirm this?

Just saying hi, virago 750 just purchased. Previously had fz750 and just sold suzuki sv650. Some differences between them!!

Thought id best say hi all. On the hunt for a xv750 Returned to bikes after a few years out and recently sold mine. Always liked the viragos so please feel free to offer advice on bagging a good un.
