[IMG] Oh these things do just fine once you get them going again! I'm jealous... mine is a 700... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have been very lucky. I have had at least two close calls: (1) someone didn't see me (common) and (2) pushing the bike too hard in the twisties....
Abner, YOU ARE THE MAN. I have resealed my float bowls numerous times with redneck repair (RTV). The sealant works, with no leaks, but invariably...
Welcome! I have bought other bikes (in hopes of restoring them) but this site is PRICELESS. So much knowledge, so many people willing to help....
I recently rode my '86 700. A return to riding again...ahhhhhh. These old bikes have more life than me! Riding them makes me feel more alive. Ok....

Hey guys been a while. I have been neglecting the VFR for a while due to this new project. It's a 1985 Yamaha Virago 700. I have plans to...
Sorry SD no suggestion for your current problem here....but... I love that 3rd gen bike. Obviously you do too. I'ts probably worth a lot more...
Congrats on your easy fix!
