    Been to mechanic and he said due to a great big hole in filter box of exhaust it's affecting the back pressure and that's why it's only running one cylinder, however, when I was checking the leads before it went in, I swapped the leads over and nothing started , does that mean there is the problem with the rear cylinder ht lead and or whatever that connects to. He didn't check that he said he changed plugs and fuel and drained carbs. When I say I swapped leads I mean the lead going to the cylinder that started I put on one that didn't and vice versa

    Hi guys, My 125 Virago is going to garage for service tomorrow but would like some advice so I have a rough idea what to expect, basically The front cylinder runs fine but rear one doesn't at all, so I swapped the leads round and now neither starts, anyone know what would be the problem, it's been Sat around for 4 months

    Thanks guys, is the virago Haynes Manuel for the 125 also as have read it doesn't include it but assume things like changing oil and draining petrol as that's also been Sat around for 4 months and cleaning plugs and carbs is the same for bigger bikes

    Hi guys I've got myself 125 2002 virago and been advised to get it in for a full service , anyone know how much this would cost, assuming its a good idea to use a main Yamaha dealer ,

    Hi guys I've bought a 125 virago cheap as exhaust has a hole, I'm looking at replacing it with a cool looking (and sounding) slash cut style and have seen this http://japan.webike.net/products/20947082.html Would anyone know if this will pass a UK MOT with it installed and bafflers still in it. Cheers, Also of this has already been discussed please can someone point me in the right direction
