I don't remember doing anything specific with the safety switch. As far as I know, the engine start solenoid is mechanically locked out via the column shift when it's not in park

@SmileysGarage i got a floor shift. So it's different

Yep. Same hole. I bought a cheap rubber grommet off amazon to fill the hole. It works ok. I might upgrade to a 2-piece unit in the future

That sounds like a lot of fun. If you have facebook, check out Mike's First Gen Virago Group. They have wiring diagrams there. There should also be some if you google 1983 Virago Wiring Diagrams. Good luck!

Thanks man!

I had no issues joining the trans to the engine all. I do have the mounts in the forward position so that might be the difference? The transmission slid right in.

What do you mean by forward position? The first bolt hole?

On the frame

Is the bottom mount that bolts to the frame in the first hole on the frame like in the video, with your motor mount slid all the way forward?

@@fields82elco62 I just posted a short to my channel showing a closer look at the engine mounts. The frame part is stock position, the engine part is slid all the way forward

It'll be fiiinnneeeeeee Not planning on ever launching this really. What parts concern you the most?

Thanks for the love! There's still some paperwork to deal with on this guy. Waiting for all my ducks to be in a row before i send the final video on it.

@@SmileysGarageHello there Smiley’s Garage, What do you mean by final video ? Are you planning to sell your motorcycle ? If so, then for how much $$$ ?

Dear Smiley’s Garage, I enjoy your videos but you do a poor job of answering my comments or questions. Also, to have to wait 2 whole months plus for your next video is difficult. Is there any way you could step up the pace ?

@@GarysnewYT hi there. Life gets in the way sometimes and I miss some things I'm lucky if I get into the garage once a week. It takes a while to get enough footage for one episode and then organizing and editing the video takes a few days as well. I appreciate your comments and views but I'm a busy man and this RUclips thing isn't always a priority

@@GarysnewYT yes I eventually plan to sell the XV920

Varies by the day. I have no idea what I'm doing

Some things have to be edited out to keep the videos interesting but let me know if you got questions on parts or something. Thanks for the watch!

@@SmileysGarage yes sir I understand!!

speed engineering 1"3/4 A-body F-body Long-tubes. Stainless. I had to really massage them to work, there's probably better options out there

I just tripled the horsepower going to that poor 7.5" rear end. I think if I even attempt a burnout, I'll grenade that thing. We'll see what the dyno says.

Pricey but worth it. Of all the mods I did to that bike, the seat was the best investment.

That's a lot of troubleshooting work already. is the brake pedal returning to the proper position? The piston inside the caliper might be getting stuck. Is the caliper bracket bent at all (are the pads parallel to the rotor?) good luck

Thank you so much! I'm trying to improve my editing and camera work.

Dear Smileys Garage, How are you today ? Good I hope. How is your car project coming along ? It’s been a whole month or so, when will you come out with another video ? Just curious is all. 😊

@@GarysnewYT Hello!! My life is very full lately. Hopefully within the next two weeks i'll have a video out. I appreciate you checking in!

@@SmileysGarageThank you so very much . I really appreciate your videos and how you talk about your project and how you work. Thank you , my friend. 😊

Mainly Rock Auto. Front lower controls arms were Ebay

Hi Gary! Real-life has been busy. I'm still working on the car but I don't have enough content for a video yet. One will be coming soon. Thanks for checking in!

@@SmileysGarage Dear Smiley’s Garage, How are you doing today ? How’s your car doing? Are you going to finish your Yamaha 750 motorcycle project ? Thank you 😊

I wouldn't consider it easy. I had to pay close attention to the videos and triple check some measurements. I had to make some special tools and purchase some others. But I'm glad I did it! Check out The Transmission Bench Channel on RUclips, that's the series I followed for the 4l60e

Thanks!! I appreciate your enthusiasm!

Hi Gary welcome back. Thanks for watching, I appreciate the kind words.

Can't make this stuff up!

No kidding ROFLMFAO!!!!!

Thanks! You're absolutely right. And what a privilege it is to work with clean parts as well!

Hey Darren thanks for the watch and comment! Yes progress is very exciting, albeit a tad slow.

Haven't heard that one before haha

Thanks! Not gonna let it stop me.
