I'm Offended by that word:Im not listening to:moon:

My opinion is as an adult or parent you see something that you do not feel appropiate for your child to read. Don't let them read it. I feel that alot of TV is moralely reprehensible. But, I have the choice to turn the TV off or turning the channel. If I had small children I would use the programable parental guidance settings on the TV to insure they did not view. I have a problem with adults deciding what is suitable for other adults to view.

What it's doing is it will crank and run, with box of rocks in starter, If you hold starter button too long the starter will quit and you have to turn the key on and off to reset it so starter button will work again. It will run for a few minutes if you nurse the throttle but then it will choke out. after a few minutes.

Yea I had noticed that and was concerned. So, your saying thats normal for these bikes. Do you have any info on the mod kit to fix that?
-
Does the controller develope cold solder joints like the ventures do and can they be fixed in the same way?
-
Thanks for your responses the first thing I need to know is how many turns out for the idle mixture screws on the carbs.

I'm working on a project to resurrect an 1987 Virago for a friend. I was looking for some tech infomation about carbs and other things. Does anyone know of a Virago forum or a source for tech info on this bike?

Dang I was worried that I posted to much. I didn't know anyone was counting. Joined 4/24/09 1,194 post average 1.28 per day I paid my $12.00 too I know I have too much time on my hands but I am unemployed and that is my excuse and I'm sticking with it. I'll make anyone on this forum that is tired of reading my post a deal. Give me a job and I won't post so much. I'm more of a post addict than a post whore. Being a whore indicates someone is paying you. No one has offered me a dime to post. Now if someone did maybe I wouldn't need a job. And afterall I quess there are worse things that I could be addicted too.

Parts unknown on a quest to fight the good fight to continue our never ending story and show Aussie Annie and Quickstep the sights and historical places of our beautiful country. So with the sun setting over historical Daytona Motor Speedway [ATTACH]38276[/ATTACH] As seen from the Balcony of the Million Dollar condo we have been staying in in Daytona Beach, Florida......Yes, we are still in Daytona. We get ready for the next part of our mission that includes fencing the interstate system as we ride along the way. The plan is that Yammie Mammie will lead the way since she has the map. The Dragon Slayer will follow her using his newly acquired Wizard of Oz magic wand [ATTACH]38277[/ATTACH] to set fence post one by one as we travel. Aussie Annie will follow towing a trailer behind her quike that we have constructed to carry and unroll fenceing along the roadside. Quickstep will follow Annie and since he is said to be as tough as nails he will spit fenceing nails to attach the fenceing to the fence post. Massey will follow with the dessert cart in tow (which he has now made into a trailer) so that we can have dessert whenever we stop for rest breaks. The rest of the pack following him singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall.:banana::cool10: With all of the preparations made... we leave Daytona traveling through the night finding ourselves watching the sun come up on the Blueridge Parkway.[ATTACH]38278[/ATTACH] By lunch time we are at the great Archway in Saint Louis, MO where we stop for a much needed rest break. [ATTACH]38279[/ATTACH][ATTACH]38280[/ATTACH][ATTACH]38281[/ATTACH] This all being possible since we have learned how to travel at the speed of light through space and time.

Time is not the issue since we have space and time travel on our side, along with the magic wand that came with my Wizard of Oz costume. Food would be nice where is the nearest Dairy Queen. Your Welcome

Yes you are right Yama Mammie It is an extensive list to undertake but , I believe the secret to tackling this list is to get creative with with our problem solving and multi tasking skills to come up with solutions that will solve multiple problems at one time. Like killing two birds with one stone. We need to work smarter. Let me give you an example. I have an idea that if executed will solve the following problems all at once. OBama's assistance programs record unemployment world hunger whirled peas world peace endangered dolphins International whaling Uninsured Pedestrian deer in the roadway Dangerous troupe deployment Motorcyclist image to the general public homelessness economy in recession You see what we need to do is build fences enclosing all of the medians and roadside land area of the interstate highway system all around the country. That would keep the uninsured pedestrian deer out of the roadways:banana: and would capture all that massive amount of land area for agriculture and grazing livestock. That way we could employ the unemployed:banana: (ending homelessness :banana:since everyone will have jobs to pay for housing stimulating the housing market, which will correct the economy) to build fences, plant crops, tend live stock. This could be done for the same cost we are now spending in roadside maintenance. :mo money:That would correct the record unemployment:banana: making Obama's trickle up assistance programs unnecessary. :banana:With all or the abundance in food crops and livestock we could harvest and send around the world sell what we could and give the rest away to hungry people all over the world. :thumbsup2:With the abundance of food around the world there would be no need for international whaling or tuna fish and the dolphins would be safe. :banana:Therefore ending world hunger,:banana: also creating more jobs in shipping transportation, Construction, meat packaging etc. :banana:If we feed the world we wouldn't have any enemies which would create world peace and whirled peas. :banana::banana:With world peace there would not be the need for dangerous troupe deployment, :cool10:saving trillions of dollars in military armaments, :mo money::mo money:which could subsidize the project. By coming up with the idea Motorcyclist would be the hero's of the world :bluesbrother:and the general population of the world would now respect motorcyclist for who we really are. By the way, I'm glad you like your t-shirt. It looks very becoming on you.

Are we going to Oz to see a wizard or Aussie Annie? Is that what your suggestting? Or better yet how about an ignition system lock out that is jammed by the microwaves of the cell phone so the car won't run when the cell phone is in use.

must travel through space and time and use every trick at our disposal to save mankind from it's self. There are just to many injustices in the world, too many wrongs that need to righted, too many mistakes that need to be corrected, too many crusades that need to be fought for the good cause. There are so many missions that we could undertake I need help in deciding where we go next. So, I have made a list and would like your help in prioritizing in what order we will attack the items on the list. This is just a quick list that I have made off the top of my head. If any of you have any other concerns please feel free to add them to the list. Obama's economic recovery assistance programs Yamaha's parts pricing greed The family rift between the Teutals at OCC the firing of Vinny, Jr, and Mickey on OCC Paul Sr's people skills The Mayan Calendar 2012 thing missing my birthday 12/22/2012 HD motorcyclist snobs HD parts hazards in the roadways Global warming oil slicks left by HDs causing a safety and environmental hazard International whaling Dolphin safe tuna wurled peas .... I mean ........world peace world hunger world gluteny Swine flu pandemic misuse of our tax dollars fewer ambulances on the dragon Muffinman's pink chaps erosion of family values Ruffy's Tattoos Record unemployment melting of the polar ice caps Rap music Inflation tire deflation Hot dogs come 10 to the pack, buns 8 to the pack planned obsolescence of high ticket items Internet viruses spam (the INTERNET kind not the potted meat kind) Tele marketers info-mercials unfunny TV commercials moronic reality shows no-service mentality of businesses precidice and reverse discrimination Paris Hilton Craig's list scams Bad squirrel decisions bad hair days Uninsured pedestrian deer in the roadways uninsured Presbyterians in the roadways Marauding Pik-A-Nic basket stealing Bears (I think we have already covered that) Multi tasking cage operators Dangerous air bag deployment Dangerous troupe deployment Those pesky dragons incessant leaf raking opportunities Weather Men accountability for poor prediction performance. Suffering Sucatash....... There is just too much to do. We must hone our super powers. We have the technology, we have time travel, we have many clever disguises left over from Halloween. Plus the left over and accumulated Halloween candy for energy. Let's get started. What do we do first?

Done did that, it was too far gone

The mailman came and went no starter. So I got busy working on the Virago project. At around 2:00 I looked out the front door to find the starter box sitting there. Evidently UPS came and went and dropped off what I had been waiting for. When I opened the box and compared the new starter to the old It was not an exact match. The center housing was about 3/8" shorter than the one on the old starter. I went ahead and tried to bolt it up and it did bolt up with the starter gear messing up perfectly. I went ahead and hooked it up to give it a quick bump test and it ran perfectly with no dragging starter...... finally:thumbsup2: Problem solved. FYI and for future information the late 60's model Ford solenoid did not work. no matter how I hooked up the 12 control terminals it would either engage all the time or not at all. Thank goodness the old Yamaha solenoid as still good and worked fine. Thanks to all of you that responded and helped my through this problem. I could not have done it without you. Ya'll are a great bunch and as always this is a great forum.

I went ahead and ordered a new starter from one of the ebay dealers and am patiently awaiting it's arrival. The only downside it was advertised as a Vmax starter but after talking to the dealer it is not a 4 brush starter and is the 2 brush version. But, it is new and I could not find a 4 brush. So, hopefully it will show up today. I'm getting antsy since it prime leaf season down here with perfect riding weather. I don't know how much longer the weather will last.

"Never could I leave without you" the Dragon Slayer said as he rounded the corner with Yama Mama following close behind.......... I was just waiting for you to provide the inspiration that I needed so that I could embellish the story building on the input that you, Yama Mama and the others provide. You see with out your inspirational comments I have nothing to say. And fearing that I might be monopolizing the conversation too much I have been lurking waiting on your input. Because, you are the wind in my sails, the fuel in my trusty steed Venture Royale (1st gen of course), the sward with which I will heft to slay those pesky dragons. So Simon says......come quickly put on this helmet and come with Yama Mama and myself before the blatantly incompetent mechanics and sales floor personnel of this little shop of horrors realizes that I am an impostor cleverly disguised as the diabolical evil genius mastermind, The Stealer, and they try to charge us outrageous prices for breathing their air in this Stealership.........We must exit.... stage right!

Inhibitions. You seem entirely too self continuous. You have made a wonderful selection in T-shirts and I am more than pleased to offer my assistance in helping you fit the T-shirts that you have selected to your trim and well fit form. In fact I would be equally pleased in offering my future assistance on an on-going basis and can make myself available at your pleasure anytime you so desire 24/7 365 days per year. I can be available on a regular basis, spontaneously when the mood strikes you or by appointment at your convenience. This is a service that I normally charge a small fee for, but, in your case I will waive that fee.......Of course. Yama Mama is now thinking De Ja Vue. There is something just a little too familiar with what she had just heard. Where had she heard that voice before saying what he just said. Just a few minutes ago she had been somewhat apprehensive is allowing a stranger to fit her to the T-shirts she had selected, But, for some reason now she was excited about getting fitted. She had never been fitted before and wondered if it was anything like being frisked. Then she remembered where she had heard that voice before. It was the voice of the Dragon Slayer who was cleverly disguised as the diabolical evil genius mastermind, The Stealer. "Dragon Slayer" she gasped "where have you been.... and why are you disguised as the diabolical evil genius mastermind, The Stealer?" "Shhhhhsssss".. he said. I have been lurking and am on a secret mission to rescue you from the Stealer who is planning to charge you outrageous prices for any thing you buy from his little shop of horrors. I know a better way. I have all the parts you need and a much better selection of T-shirts, all with a Dragon Slayer motif. In fact I have one with me that was recently created by my artistically creative son , just for this occasion. Now Simon says let me fit you into this new Dragon slayer T-shirt and let's get out of here before anyone realizes that I am not the Stealer......................

I have all of those merit badges and a few more. They wont all fit on the resume. Went back to the property today and killed a buck and , Chris killed her first deer, a doe and I missed two other does, with the gun this time. I don't know how many I missed with the car this trip, it was dark both going and coming so I couldn't see em. It's a good thing too, I don't think I can drag, field dress and process more than 2 a day. Plus a flat tire with no jack in the woods. Up at 4:00 am again this morning it's 10:00pm now and I'm just getting my shower and dinner. I'm wore out enough for one day.

OMG ....................It would be fun to do to her what she did to you and then charge her what she was gonna charge you for her little proceedure.
