1982 Yamaha XV920J Virago review from United States of America
"This motorcycle is just awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The only problems I have had from my Virago is the starter and a very frustrating oil leak.
The starter makes a very awful sounding grinding noise and sometimes won't turn over at all.
The oil leak is on the rear cylinder and makes everything hard to clean. I have re-tightened the head bolts and that worked for a little while, but the vibration loosens them back after about 500 or 600 miles.
General comments?
This motorcycle is a blast to ride. The handling is awesome and it is very quick.
The only time it is remotely uncomfortable is when I have my wife on the back. Then the seat is not big enough.
