I have a 1982 XV920J Virago and the fuel sensor is not working properly. It keeps giving a warning on the level of fuel in the tank. It goes on and off. I tried to get a new sensor from a dealer, but they said that it has been discontinued. Does anyone know how to get a new sensor or a used one or how to disconnect it so it does not keep blinking on and off? Thank you.
I just bought an 82 Virago 920 for $400, and although it runs great, I can't seem to go over 62 miles per hour. I have brand new carbs ($256) and plugs ($8.99). And everything else done as needed. I'm just puzzled on how it won't go? Any suggestions or help would be helpful. Thanks.
I have an 82' Virago. As I have read comments, I noticed that it grinds every time I start it as well as others I have read. Is it something I should worry about and get fixed, or just leave it? The owner before me said it's been that way since he has owned it in 93?
Also, I need to get a new gasket for my brake fluid. Any ideas on what I can do to replace it with a new one or some other type of gasket? What can I do about my front brake pads or rotors, or whatever it is that is squeaking like crazy? If I ride the brake a bit, it goes away.
I bought an '82 Virago XV920J in May of this year for $500 bucks with 10K miles on it. The only thing it needed was the calipers rebuilt. I am looking to customize it since I am not a short guy. I was wondering if anyone has put forward controls and a Mustang seat on one of these? I am having a hard time find any of these as aftermarket parts for this particular year and model. Tons of 750 and 1100 from '84 on up, but not for an '82 920.
Also looking to change from the Cycom to a standard speedometer, from rectangular lights to round, and also change the exhaust. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
