many thanks to you! ive been looking everywhere on how to do this so much appreciated! keep it up 🤙 ride safe dude
Cambell Mooney thanks for watching and so glad to hear this helped out. 👍🏽
For those wondering :
The speedo bulb is a standard halogen wedge , T6.5 , 3W.
It will fit the 250 and the 125 versions ( part number 42X835170000)
He’s putting a T5 as a replacement, as T5’s fits the socket too ( not as snuggly, but firmly enough)
If you just want to change the color, you can do it like back in the day , with a silicone bulb cap of the color of your choice, or by purchasing a glass tinted one 😊
Happy riding to y’all ✌🏻😄
Thank you, i've been looking for a soccet name for hours, I've found different ones that say they fit, but soccet, for some reason isn't mentioned even in the yamaha part cataloge
thank you so mush !! .... i have the same problem on my vx250 virago and you are the onlly one doing this !! thank again
Glad you found it useful great bike! Thanks for watching!
beautiful bike love those seats
Thanks for watching, truly love this bike very comfortable ride. Stay safe👍🏽✌🏽
Very cool on the using the phone and I believe they will replace lot's of go pro in the future.
Awesome job on the mods. Super cool ! Doing better on your videos too.
Thanks a lot also from Germany :-) I had to replace my speedometer cable, and your video helped me a lot ... the two screws which hold the tachometer and the lamp case are really bad guys ... took me a lot of time, but ... ok it all worked fine in the end.
And hey ... love your Virago style.
These two screws are literally pain. I'm just trying to unmount them rn, and I'm really struggling xdd
A tool with a short head and a flexible shaft was my salvation
@@uwegartitz9232 well after some time ratchet was my solution:D
Good stuff dude!
Hassan Hajj thank you brother. Trying to push more content out when I’m able to.
my 2006 xv250 speedometer and front light housings are joined together with a round bracket and grommet . No idea how to take them apart.
Brett Sutherland Interesting even though our bikes are four years apart I would think that the industry standard would be about the same I’m sorry I couldn’t help you I’m not sure or familiar with the 2006 for all the lighting mounting brackets, The only thing I can think of is perhaps somewhere within that base where the speedometer and headlight meet the frame there has to be some sort of bolt or maybe even a cover plate of some sort covering the screws or bolts that connect it, which makes it hard for you to see.
What’s the size of the bulb ? Is it an t10 or a t5 ?
It is a t5. I've just installed it. Looks awesome in green
Where did you get this light I'm in the market for a green one
Thanks for watching I got the LED light from Autozone it was in there after market Isle, not sure where your from but its an automotive store like Pep boys, advance auto, O'reillys etc.. Hope this helps.
Where did you purchase your LED bulb for the tach from?
Bryce Redwing Thanks for watching the LED light for the tachometer was bought from an automotive store here in Texas it’s called AutoZone they also sell it at O’Reilly’s as well as advance auto parts and Pep Boys I’m not sure where you’re from but it’s your typical neighborhood automotive shop. Hope this helps
Thanks for the reply you're must be slightly different than mine they told me they could find one with the same wattage at my local auto parts store which are all the same as yours. Thanks for the reply all the best
I would think your layer of grease might run when headlight heats up. Could plug the drain with grease and debris. Good video.
Can you drill a better hole so the water can drain better?
Just curious my friend.
Rhino Dan thanks friend the bigger hole is what I was thinking as well however this was after I put everything back together...lol. I might take it apart and drill the hole a bit bigger at a later time. Thanks for the compliment I’m trying to give more focus on my videos but work sometimes makes this a challenge.
Casp 72 I understand about work and time.
I don't think a bigger hole will really accomplish what you want. The reason the water pools where it does, is because , when parked, the bike leans over slightly. Obviously. I would consider drilling an additional hole, (probably, 1/8 inch?), right at what would be the bottom of the circle, as the bike is parked on the side stand. Just a thought. Good vid, otherwise.
@@EJ42955 I had a similar idea. Actually, I would probably draw a series of small holes (which no one is ever going to see anyway), so that, no matter what the angle of the bike, the headlight will drain efficiently.
Were did u get the replacement bulb?
Chris Hayes thanks for watching, I got the LED replacement at Autozone it’s a neighborhood automotive store, located in there LED light isle. If you don’t have an autozone at your location most automotive shops like Pep Boys, o’reallys, Advance Auto Parts etc....have a similar LED Isle. Hope this helps.
@@solisapaul Is there a part number?
sheldon long I can’t remember the part number since I got these a long while back, however I got them from the neighborhood automotive parts store called Autozone, I remember taking the original bulb and comparing it with the ones in stock at Autozone, there I found a perfect match. I hope this helps, as long as the bulbs leads and circumference is the same it will be fine since these are LED bulbs the voltage and watts are minimal and therefore not causing a short.👍🏼✌🏼
@@solisapaul Ok, makes sense. I am replacing the speedo cable so may as well upgrade the bulb while I have stuff apart~ thanks!
@@sheldonlong2299a bit late , but yeah: 42X835170000 ,
Its a T6.5 , 3W halogen wedge bulb 😉
Is it brighter than it looks on camera?
To me it’s bright enough, you have to keep in mind that the face plate of the speedometer is black, so it holds back a lot of its Illuminosity, as oppose to a white. Hope this helped thanks for watching. Stay safe and sound.👍🏽✌🏽
@@solisapaul Thank you I purchased what I thought was the correct bulb but it showed up and was 4 times the size. Unfortunately part store employees are as helpful as they use to be around me. Hopefully I find the correct bulb soon
@@dylanb7244 I totally understand what you mean as far as employee support at an auto store, i’ve got a lot more videos coming up on the Virago. If you’re interested the last video I did was the gas tank. It had a lot of rust from sitting overtime, but it came out excellent, if it wasn’t for work, I’d post a lot more videos quicker, but bear with me. I do have some videos coming on the Virago. Ride safe and thanks for watching👍🏽✌🏽
the speedometer mount of the virago is by far the worst part of the entire design. it's just fucking stupid. but i managed to get it off with a combination of anger, soccet joints and a tiny ratchet. however, I've given up trying to get it back on. I'm pretty sure I've stripped the screws and threads in the fork. I mean, the headlight is mounted with the same screws, that are blocked BY the headlight. and the cables are stiff and 2 different brackets. from an unreachable angle. i'm so angry i'm crying.
From the sound of things I can definitely see the frustration. Sorry that it was so complicated. I do commend you on your efforts, some never even try to DIY. But never give up! Try, try again.. be patient and keep your cool. Tackle this when you’re absolutely able to with no interference or troubles on your mind. “You can do this!” Stay safe and sound 👍🏽✌🏽
