    Hola. Tengo una duda. La bomba de combustible tiene un retorno?. O simplemente funciona constantemente. Produce sobrepresión??. Gracias

    What I would like to know is where is the yellow wire attached to and will it drain your battery if its directly connected to your battery?

    another great video man. Really informative, I learned a lot. Were you a mechanic at some point? You seem to know a ton about motors and the various parts

    No, I'm not a professional mechanic; but I have been repairing and maintaining my own machines for 20 years. The first thing I learned as a young adult is NEVER to trust other people to repair or maintain my machines (i.e. lawn mowers, boats, cars, motorcycles, etc.), because they will rip you off and even sabotage it to keep you coming back for more repairs. People who rely on others to repair their car, for example, usually find themselves going back to the mechanic every month for repairs, not realizing that the mechanic is actually sabotaging their car, in order to keep them coming back. Believe me, they do these things. So, yeah, I do know a lot; but KZread videos are a great help to me also. I will recommend two channels that really helped me a lot to modify my bike, to get good performance out of it. See the links below. Also, if you plan to keep your bike for a long time, then you should get a shop manual. Whenever I get a new car or motorcycle, the first thing I buy is a professional shop manual, the kind the dealer mechanics use in their shops. As these are factory manuals, you cannot buy them new, besides they would be very expensive new. However, you can usually find them used at a reasonable price on Ebay. These manuals tell you everything you need to know to do your own repairs and maintenance. Sometimes it can be hard to find one, but just keep checking Ebay, every once in a while. You can usually find free online manuals to use, while you're looking for a real one; but the paper versions are the best to have. I have put a link below to a free online Virago 250 owner's manual, to help you until you can get a real SHOP manual. www.manualslib.com/manual/659381/Yamaha-Virago-Xv250s.html kzread.infosearch?query=Virago%20250 kzread.infosearch?query=virago%20250

    Lo puedes conectar por ejemplo al switch del encendido que sea positivo y el otro negro es tierra a cualquier tornillo

    He may have changed the wire. The link he provides shows a different colored wire on the pump.

    I would like to know because I bought the same one. I tested it and it worked, installed it and then it was burnt out. How did you hook it up and is it still going strong?
