Yamaha Virago Starter Upgrade Gen1 to Gen2 Explained
Ive seen some videos about it but I decided to make one a bit more in depth. Also part of it is dedicated to choosing the right cover and the differences between them.
Many thanks to Steve. Great man with great knowledge.
As mentioned, here is the link to his video about wiring:
ruclips.net/video/zPVwNBAA82c/видео.html
Here is a link to his channel too. Definitely worth subscribing.

Ive put a note at the end but Ill mention it here too:
Before You decide to do this- check if Your block has a hole for the fork moving the idler gear. Some do, some dont so You need to take off the cover to check.
Also special thanks to Igor for help with sourcing the cover....

Yamaha Virago Cafe Racer Project - Engraving
Просмотров 1023 месяца назад
It took 3 weeks to engrave it all, also probably because it was my first ever try at it so it was a learning process. I think it turned out great! What do You think? I wonder how REAL engravers would judge that.. #california #caferacer #garage #losangeles #yamaha #project #engraving #diy #art #metalworks

    Beautiful bike, I have the same model, with Leo Vince`s and I love it. You said your 1 st bike was a 990 SM? was it the R model? and why you like the 950 better? Im curious about that. Thank you!

    • @_MotoMikey_
      @_MotoMikey_ 3 месяца назад

      Hi. Thank You. Yeah, great bikes. The 990 wasnt a "R". I sold it when I lived in UK during going broke through pandemic. I regreted selling it but there was nothing else left to sell. I always wanted it back but now Im in LA and when I finally started looking for one- I found this beauty. I really like it being an R. A bit more rare and I love the black on orange frame. Looks like a hooligan. I also like the styling on 950 more-mostly because of more enduro style seat. Saying that- if Id be in the market again Id just look for a good condition/price ratio of 950/990. They are both great and both have pros and cons so all in all- no big difference for me to be honest.

When riding in the mountains with altitude chamges- its a bit harder to start whem Youre high up. Other than that- powerwise- pretty much the same thing. I personally prefer the look of sm/smr over smt.

I even bought stock ones but then got used to them and kept them. They look cool though right? The only other thing is K&N filter in the stock airbox but with side triangles and snorkel out. Rejetted to but only by 0.5. Leo Vince exhausts. The are brutally loud...or Im just getting old.

      It used to be 100-105 before. Now after carb clean and changing the mixture to 2.25 turns its a bit more. I usually fill up close to 100miles anyway but recently did 111 and the light wasnt on yet. Mines a SMR though so smaller tank than SM so I think You should be getting a bit more.
