What a beautiful job! I have been riding bikes for 47 years, I had an array of some nice bikes like the Kawa Z1 back in the late 70’s, a Yamaha exup FZR 1000, etc. Now I am 64 and I own a 1992 virago 750 and I just love it, great on turns here I Guatemala and very planted and stable, watching this video has given me some interesting ideas, many thanks for it.

Mooie motor man, mijn vader heeft ook de zelfde motor. we gaan hem deze vakantie ombouwen naar een cafe racer.

Nou kees, knap werk 🎉

Wat een mooi ding! Helemaal na je werk eraan. Prachtig. Ik ga hopelijk binnenkort voor m'n 1e motor kijken. Neig erg naar een Virago.

Ik zelf vindt het ook een leuke motor, maar het is wel echt een kleine motor. Qua zitpositie is het echt een heel kort stuk van zadel naar stuur. Daar kon ik niet heel erg goed aan wennen. Toen het café racer stuur er op zat was het een stuk beter. Wel een gedoe toen met de stuurstopper om te zorgen dat deze niet tegen de tank aan kon komen. Ik zou zeker eerst eens een goede testrit gaan maken.

cirelachlan I thought I put a bigger main jet in the carb's. 117,5. No problems after the change.

Noice👊

Fantastisch

So I saw that you rejetted the carb, I'm about to buy an 1985 700xv, the guy said the carb needs to be rebuilt.. where did you buy your jets from and what sizes were they? Any other things I should buy to rebuild it?

@globastiaan

7 жыл бұрын

I went from MIKUNI size 115 tot 117,5. I was lucky to get the jets at a local custom bike shop close by. It's not easy to get the carbs of the bike, so it took me a while before it all ran smoothly. I also did not need to change the gaskets. Just a lot of carb cleaner and i was good to go :D. Make sure that all the rubber and plastics are of the carb before using carb cleaner. Good luck!

I see that's a Japanese market bike? Metric speedo and all. but I really liked the factory two-tone paint. Like the 50's were over here. Never see those 750's over here? So I bought the 2018 V Star 250 Lowrider Custom Cruiser. Built 06/17 and titled as a 2018, it was the first year of Raven Black Metallic. But the black metallic you used has more metal flake in it? What was the brand, etc of the paint?

Original this bike is made for the European market. I also loved the original paint, that's actually why I bought it in the first place. But after fitting the new handlebar I didn't change the handlebar stoppers and this ended in some pretty annoying dents in the tank. So changed it al. I've used the cheapest paint, but have been very happy with the result. www.action.com/nl-nl/p/spectrum-metallic-spuitverf/ All together I've not spent more than €150 for the full build.

Awesome job! May I ask if the paint job was hard? Did you use 2k cleacoat?

@globastiaan

Жыл бұрын

The paintjob was pretty easy, i only used spray cans. I would sugest 2k clearcoat. I didn't use 2k, but this will defenitly be a better choice for the tank. Make sure to spray in a lot of layers and in a dust and wind free area.

Hey... I'm test driving the exact same year model tomorrow. Read about this model, in previous years having starter issues... Does yours?

@globastiaan

Mine did not have starter problems, but after the rebuild I didn't keep it for long. It did take some time to let it run smoothly because of the open exhaust, but other than that it all worked fine.

Hey Nout, Top video, heb ff vraagje.. Ik zag dat je de dempers uit de uitlaat heb gehaald, wat is dat witte spul dat je erin gedaan hebt???

@globastiaan

8 жыл бұрын

Dat waren de oude metalen doorboorde gaten, opgevuld met uitlaat cement. Maar dit is af te raden. Het brokkelen af na verloop van tijd. Het beste koop je een aluminium ring die je erin vast last ofzo. Zonder kan ook, maar ik had het idee dat het mooier klinkt als je deze ring erin hebt. wordt het geluid dieper. De metalen oude opening is wel vast blijven zitten met dat cement (gum gum praxis).

Succes. Ik heb na het aanpassen van de uitlaat erg lang moeten spelen met de carburateurs. Uit eindelijk heb ik (mikuni carbs) de main jet van 115 naar 117,5 veranderd en daarmee liep hij goed. pilot jet is hetzelfde gebleven en liep prima stationair.

Hoe erg verandert de zitpositie bij het gebruik van dat stuur? Ziet er mooi uit maar meen te herinneren dat je bij de Virago, normaal gesproken, vrij ver achterover zit. Kun je er dan nog comfortabel enkele uren mee rijden?

Zie 2:10 in de video. Daar heb ik het nieuwe stuur er op. Ik vond de originele zitpositie niet prettig. Het stuur zat te dichtbij en door dit café racer stuur zit je een stuk meer naar voren. Ik ben trouwens niet groot. 1,70m en de Virago is een kleine motor.
