You're welcome 😁

Great Video's, 1 VERY important point is being missed however. Before pushing in the caliper pistons to make room for new thicker replacement brake pads. You have to REMOVE the lid on top of the brake fluid reservoir that is located on the handle bars. This is to allow for the release of pressure that will occur in the closed brake line system once you start pushing in the pistons in the caliper. I know this from replacing brake pads in cars. And I also FORGOT to do it when changing the pads on my bike. (stupid of me) The result is that I blew the brake fluid reservoir diaphragm located on the top of the fluid reservoir. Which meant that I had brake fluid leaking out from the top of the reservoir, when using the brakes when driving. A new diaphragm was $25. Remember to wrap a rag around the fluid reservoir before removing the lid, you don't want any fluid spilling onto any painted surfaces on your bike. The fluid will ruin the paint job.

A very clean and clear DIY video, demystifying the changing front brake pads on the bigger viragos

Helful and easy to follow. Keep on doing videos thanks

I don't have the bike anymore but if you Google yamaha virago 750 starter diagram and search on Google images or even videos you will be able to pin point its location. Just be careful taking it out because your engine oil will be all over the ground.

Is this the same breaks for the 920 virago

Hi i have to change my speedo cable, but the wheel section has a brass looking nipple so nowhere to attach the screw, does that nipple need to be removed or is there a different cable? my bike is a 92 750 FY virago. cheers

So my brother looked into it.... his bike is a 1996 but he can unscrew the cable off. Maybe look on the Yamaha specs online. Maybe something can help you there. Sorry bud.
