Virago DragStar XVS125 - Things to look out for?
From what little I know about them (which isn't a lot), just the usual: Rust, make sure ALL the electrics work, make sure the suspension runs free. The usual bike stuff...

XVS 125 drag star, newbie
Reduce some of that 'hype' and have fun! Treat everyone else on the roads as having a personal grudge against you!!! And remember, being paranoid, doesn't mean no one is out to get you! lol Give yourself a few months and then go get your Direct Access done, it should lower your Insurance quite a bit. Speaking of Insurance..: Have you already got your dragstar insured? If not, check down at the bottom of the forums, there's an insurance number to phone, you get a discount with them for being a full member here...

NYPD cops stopping highway traffic to catch lane filtering motorcycles
Box was collapsed for me. I got it to work eventually. Strangely, considering how many bikes there are in the US, I believe it's only California that allows filtering...

Adverts
As in, I don't want anything, therefor I don't check it... On closer inspection, your advert is marked as completed. Unless you need a fast sale, you might want to consider a longer run period to allow people to see it and reply. I will ask Alex if he can add a notifier to the classified section, so we see when someone posts something new like we do for forum posts.

Mr
I can't help, but I'm sure someone will be along who has a clue before very long... On closer inspection... If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the main page, there's a link for a decoder. Yamaha Motorcycle VIN Decoder - Online VIN Check & Verifica - Yamaha Owners Club (yamahaclub.com)

Alex is away at the moment I believe. I'm not actually sure how often the classifieds are used, I don't actually want anything... Sorry.

yzf750 engine out
With absolutely no previous experience, but from looking at my Ace, I'd say yes. But it's gonna be tight.

SR125 irregular indicator flash - suggestions?
As I stated on another post, I suspect the lack of picture linking/uploading is because you're on a Free account... Doesn't cost much per year and you get discounts for insurance.

Just saying Hi
On closer inspection, I suspect it's because you're on a Free account... I have a 'drag files here to attach' option...

Chinese carb
Ok, so... I assume this is one of the Chinese ones you're talking about: Motorcycle Mikuni VM24 28mm Carburetor For Yamaha DT125 Motor Dirt Bike ATV | eBay Frankly, at that price, I see no reason not to try it out... Then of course, if you've got the money to blow, there's this: NOS spare parts Yamaha IT175: 1x carburetor carburetor - DT YZ MX 125 175 250 if necessary | eBay But get them to check the part numbers.

Chinese carb
Are you talking about the Cat or the DT? Cos if you're talking about the Cat, there's loads on E-Bay! I wish there were that many Ace carbs on E-Bay..!

can not message anyone
You mean this is a second account? Yeah, that's beyond my abilities here, it will have to wait till Alex gets back. I'll send him a link to this...

can not message anyone
Well, I'd have to do a bit of digging on the rules for joining the forum, but..: From memory, messaging and adverts are controlled by a couple of things. 1/ Length of time in... 2/ Number of posts... 3/ Membership type... Although you've been here a 'while', you've only made two posts (one of which I can't find... (but we had some server issues the other week so that may be the cause)). And you're on a free account. I believe messaging will open up for you once you're more active on the site. It's possible the ads will never entirely go away unless you sub to the forums (it's not a lot per year, and it gets you discounted insurance...). Alex will probably have more information.

As in, after an engine swap? I'm sure someone will chip in with the easy answer, but I'd just phone them up, explain the problem and let them tell me..!
