Great video, I got re jet my carb on my 125cc as silver tail exhaust fitted when I got the bike and it’s struggling to get to 40-50mph, I did fit a K&n air filter which really helped so I believe it’s not getting enough air. Thank you for your video
i wonder if its posible to make a aluminium manifold with intake to the side and mount a 28mm oldstyle carb with filter pointing out like on a harley just to make it easyer to service in the years to come, this type carb is to anoying to fidle around with :)
Hi, I'm having troubles with my Yamaha xvs 125 Dragstar Carburetor. Need him to replace. By the research Virago and dragstar supposed to have same carburetor ( Mikuni BDS 26 ) but this original one is not anymore on the market. There are some options to buy some other replacements but in all cases it says it only fit to the virago 125/250. So now I'm not sure If I can try to use this one or rather not. Original bds 26 comes with some sort of cable with 3 pin slot that supposed to be connected with the bike but there new replacements does'nt have it. Would that be a problem? Thanks a lot for any advice
Many thanks for the video from Germany. My Virago is an XV 125 5AJ from 1998 Now i have to change the carburetor complete. I got a complete new one for about 65 €uros / Dollars. So its easier to change and i dont have to repair it or change expensive parts. But ithe new one is the carburetor for the XV 250 (main jet is the difference said the seller.) Is it right that i only have to change the main jet and everything is fine. Ok set the idle speed is one point i have to do at first after restarting the bike. Is there something else to consider? Is it only the main jet that i have to change? Iam not a mechanic thats the problem.
I am not 100% positive, but I believe the carburetor components are all the same excepts for the jets between XV125 & XV250. Check this link and compare it to the jets you have. It's for 1998 XV125. www.bike-parts-yam.com/yamaha-motorcycle/125-MOTO/1998/VIRAGO/XV125/CARBURETOR/66_6628-6628/B9/0/33506
@@ronalddang7507 thanks for asking. I’ve unfortunately been away for that entire year. I’ll find out how it runs when I get back in a few months. I expect more work will be required now. 🤷♂️

Do you know what that part is below the choke cable and to the left of the throttle?
That little brass nozzle?
Mine just broke.
I believe it's a carbeurator heater
@@ronalddang7507 That's exactly what it is.
Thanks.
@@khatdubell no problem, 1 year old comment haha. How is your bike running?

Did you measure float height? Sounds like the bike may be running on a rich mixture
What's the float height measurements?
trying to look for the choke part... could you point that out? I wanna see to give an idea cuz I couldn't find it on my bike.
It’s next to the throttle cable behind the fuel pump.
Why did Yamaha made a small motorcycle carburetor system so complicated...
they sell more spareparts :P
Why fuzzy gloves?
Bravo
Use pine sol mix 50/50 with water it's a much better cleaner and far less toxic
Good to know. Thanks for the tip!
