i have just cleaned my viragos air filter by the help of your video. thanks. can you also make a video about removing and checking the fluid of the battery? i have been looking around but couldnt find a video about it.
Hi, replacing the battery is rather simply, but those fuel lines disturb a bit. I have been able to slide battery out and in between them without disconnecting them. I have checked fluid level visually from fill hole by ensuring there are few mm electrolyte over cells which you see in right light. Use flash light if needed. Another way is to have an gravity meter (hydrometer), put the flexible tube in from fill hole, it goes all the way to the cells, squeeze the bulb, release the bulb and it will suck electrolyte in. If you have enough electrolyte you get it sucked into meter (means you have it above cells). Motorbike battery is small and if hydrometer is large you may not get enough electrolyte into meter to measure gravity (try to obtain meter with small inner volume, made for small batteries). This way you see that there is so much that it covers cells and goes few mm above. If you cannot get it into meter you have too low level, definetly. Fill more battery water i that case.
hi. great videos you are doing. really helpful. can you make a video showing how the saddlebags are mounted? i see the supports are mounted on the sissybar. did you have to modify the sissybar?
Hi Sorry for delay. Actually supports were installed when this virago came into my hands. I can see that some modification may have been done as these is brass welding, like filling holes in back part of the frame. Honetly I have not investigated that further. Have a great driving season.
Great video, this helped me a lot. What is the difference between filter 2gv-14451-00 you mentioned and 2nt-14451-00? My bike is from 2001 and there is the other filter recommended.
You are welcome, just noticed your comment when I were looking more info about the chain crash between Middelburg and Goes this morning. Drive carefully with your bike.
On the bigger Virago's the air filter is on the right side inside the chrome box to the front. What is the purpose of this on the 535 as I see a part of the filter mechanism running into the box on the front? I kind of understand that it brings air to the filter but isn't it completely sealed inside the cover? And this is a very helpful video as I haven't changed mine since I got it, erm, 8 months ago! So it's time for a replacement. Thanks :)
Glad that you find it useful. Reminds users that there is such a thing in bikes also, they are sometimes a bit hidden, like here. Honestly I do not know, maybe it was just easy to use frame shape to guide air to carburetors and air intake guided to chrome box invisible, Better reduction of noise? Filter untake is quite well sealed to filter, but is rest absolytely tight ,,, Was quite rugged so I suppose it is.
you might not see this but i hope you do. i replaced my airfilter today but i noticed i dont have that hose you connect to the top of the air filter element. i have been driving the bike for a month however and seems fine.(just got it) but now i am wondering if i might be driving with less power than i could. i dont know if this could be bad for the air fuel mixture. should i try and buy it from a bike scrapyard or is it not a problem? kinda worried atm.
Yeah mine runs just fine. But was worried when i removed the gas tank. But have had her for little over 2 months now i think. No problems what so ever. But getting ready to sell her. Making room for a Harley sportster 1200.
only 2 month, why did you even bought her :D? well when i got the money for a harley ill buy one aswell :) but cant affort much shit with my 19 years haha. have fun with your harley my man
Well i have just gotten my lisence and at first i wanted a Kawasaki VN 800. But that was 3.000€. This bike was 1.200€ So that meant either save up till winter and not ride all that time. (wich lets face it is just to damn hard) Or buy a cheaper 1 now. So that i did. But my father in law is a hugh Harley fan. And lets face it. They have some god damn sex appeal. So started looking around for second hand. around 8 grand for a 2004 1200cc sportster. so getting the 3k as a down payment and financed the rest. But after paying my morgauge bills etc is still have around 1050€ left to spend. So yeah. Why not. Just bought this bike (dont get me wrong i love it) cause i dont have any patience haha.
Mielenkiintoista. Putsarista kanava kaasuttimeen joka antaa öljytöntä bensaa lmukanavan ja venttiilin kautta sylinteriin. Puhdistaisin pois ja seuraisin tuleeko uutta. Mistäs se voisi tulla, venttiliohjurin kumin kautta, mutta luulisi savuttavan, ja kulkeutuisiko ilmanputsariin? Pitäisikö silloin olla jo venttiilivuoto että puhaltaisi kaasarille päin ?Tällaisia ajatuksia ja pohdintoja.
@@jarmojarvinen1585 I have a bike that not require oil filter & the air filter compartment is on left under seat. While battery on right. Easier. Hihi. But it has other limitation which is no fuel gauge. :-p

What a heck of a job doing this procedure. Hope not all other modern motorcycles leave it at this. Not made in a coffee break. Thanks anyway Jarmo!
Hi, depends about the lenght of the coffee break 😁

Late reply, 2nt-144.... is most probbaly for your bike 1996-2002.
Helpful video. I have one question. Whats is brand and model of your hard side bags ?
Thanks !
+Alexis hi honestly I do not know, need to check if there is a label.
+Alexis Hi, brand is GIVI (made in Italy). Sorry for delay.
Very good and clear but we say 'bolts' rather than 'screws'.
Hi, understood . Here when diameter is small we tend to call them screws, and when diameter gets bigger it turns to bolt. 😁
Very helpful, thank you very much.
