Eeeek! Chrome! Mr. Green What sort of quality is the chrome on it? Do you have to keep on top of polishing it before it browns? I know not a lot about chrome on expensive bikes Embarassed

Is she comfy?

nice Thumbs Up

I`ve had the job of servicing & repairing one so....
the first thing you should be doin is inspectin the carburettor diaphragms for wear & if they are ok lube them up wit petroleum jelly.

and where is the regulator rectifier... under the side panel cos they over heat,
wanna check that.. needs a voltmeter readin across battery terminals wit engine runnin.

Probably just the angles but your tyres look a little low.

Best to check 'em before you're out on it proper anyway! Very Happy

Colour does clash with the brickwork.

Paint house or change bike. Razz

Checked tyres, front was bang on, rear was slightly down by 2psi, all sorted now though.

Yeah does kinda clash with the brickwork, good job me and the mrs are moving soon.........to another brick house!

As for servicing alls just been done, bought off a mate and i know he looks after his bikes. Reg/rec has already been seen to aswell Thumbs Up .

Edit: overall she's in good shape for a 20 year old bike. Just had a blast down the A50 and through the meir tunnel, she sounds soooo sweet!!!!

If it was all painted black instead of purple ( Sick ) then it would look much better. The purple is rather girly. Are you a girly?

Definitely not girly! I just think its different to every other virago out there, and i like purple!

Different people, different likes. No point in all liking the same, it'd be a boring world. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

The purple is nice with all the black highlights etc but the tribal stuff I hate, then again it isn't my bike. Other than that they're a nice little bike tbh, sure they aren't exciting but they're really comfy and eat up miles.
