#1983 virago 920 specs full#

Long rides are the only draw back to this machine: seat need gel packs. The Virago 920 has a sound of its own put a set of Jardine slip-ons ON and she'll come alive and make the Harley boys look. The bike will eat Harleys for breakfast, never lost a hole shot to one yet. My bike is painted PPG vibrant paint, ruby slippers (maroon) leather stock seat, Jardine exhaust - it's a nice scoot. After my accident (hit by a car) my battery light stays on, I know it's just the water level in the battery, nothing to be terribly alarmed over, just keep your water level correct and that won't come on. I've had trouble with the oil sensor, but if you keep your oil level at operating level, it shouldn't come on.ДЄs far as the digital dash, it's great when it works correctly. So they have been replaced with aftermarket (metal) ones. Those plastic turn signals, after replacing three sets of front ones and one back one, the cost of buying original equipment stuff had gone through the roof. Small stuff like the turn signal flashers bought at a salvage yard. Then the next big expense was to replace the starter, the clutch which was done by a local repair shop. The first thing that went was the gasket on the pet-cock it started to leak, and the bike had sat for about twelve years. Love all the storage for trips to the store, shopping and long trips, and it's still very stable and responsive. It will still get up and go, it just won't get as good as gas mileage as most only about 35 around town.

My 920 is a factory full dress with a full sized fiberglass front faring with built in head light, stereo and glove boxes removable fiberglass saddle bags and rear trunk, so it is a lot heavier than most. Made a world of differences on the long rides. I installed jell pads when I replaced the worn one with a factory seat cover. Have been using my GPS until till I find a replacement.ДЇactory seat is a little hard. I see a number of people with the same thing. Problems with the Yamaha sycom computer low battery low oil? Reset it and it's fine. It's down by the battery you don't even need to take the cover off. I keep a screwdriver with me so I can jump the solenoid when I have a problem. I think it is a contact, pulled it apart and cleaned it, started doing it again, may be from sitting out in the rain. I have the same problem with the start button on the handle bars. Problem with the starter like everyone else.
