Haha! cheers bud, If I didn't do it it would be more time and money spent on a machine that no garage likes to work on, daft thing is if you took the bike in they'de do it and if you took the car part in the same but put em both together and alot less folk want to work on her, no idea why as it's such an easy trike to work on, RSM8.
Hey man, I've noticed you forgot to put in air cleaner seals. It's the details that keep the performance true to its potential. Enjoy the ride, cheers!
Cheers buddy, I must admit I never noticed, I assumed wrongly of cause that the new one had seals fitted, but thanks to your comment it's now been done, Fresh service but not filmed as I did it a couple of weeks before your comment, I've just checked and thankfully now put them in, once again an eagle eyed viewer saves the day, RSM8.
@LAUST Probably, if you can't see one in there. It doesn't come with the air cleaner and has to be purchased separately :) You will actually need two seals, not just one - one comes between the air cleaner and the tank, and the other comes between the air cleaner and the air cleaner case cap. Check out the original schemes in the manual. You can also google the schemes if you don't have a manual)
@LAUST if there's an air leak, it could affect the performance. The leak would affect the air-fuel mixture ratio. If you had a hole in an intake boot, you would probably fix it, right? This is basically the same. It is one of those "invisible" things that could cause you a headache down the road, with every other turn of the throttle. It is recommended to always replace the seals when you install a new air filter (the seals are squeezed and flattened under pressure so fresh ones are a good investment, plus they only cost about 2euros. Another great investment is the manual. ...Man, you wouldn't believe how many things I found my motorcycle was missing. One small part here, another small part there... The previous owner was not very good at keeping things together I guess. LOL
Hi mate fellow veteran here. Just bought my 1st trike. Yep you guessed it’s a 1989 virago 535 otherwise why would i be watching you. Can i ask where you got the service kit from please. And does your/dads trike have the electric switch for the reserve fuel?
Hi buddy, sorry for the late reply, nice one for the trike build, I got the service kit from ebay plenty to chose from, and no there is no switch for the reserve, bit awkward honestly so dad just sets his milometer when he refuels and tops up around every 100 miles, wishing you luck with the build bro, off into hospital on Thursday to have a brain tumor operated on so wont be on social media for a while, RSM8.
@ best of luck, I have an appointment next week to test for bowel cancer. Not sure how I feel about that. My trike did have an electric fuel reserve but some idiot cut it out. Haha.
Sorry for not replying before now bud, there is no reserve or pet cock, as its a two part tank, main tank is low down behind to rear mudguard cover and then the rest is the actual tank, dad just filled up every 100 miles to be safe, RSM8
Hey buddy, sorry for the late reply, I've just bought some of that WD40 chain wax, gunna give it a go on the enfield, before that I have a belt on the cruiser so didn't need any, lol, RSM8.
Hahaha! I know what ya mean ya daft bugger, what with you being in Germany, lol, No he doesn't have one, but not sure he would wear it, I'd have to ask him bro.

Nice job Skeggy. It’s nice to get done before riding season starts. Ride safe mate.
Thanks Viper, it sure is, and I see your riding season is just starting, "Finally" about time too, RSM8.
You are a good son, looking after your dad’s machine! 👍👍

Very nice man, I enjoyed the garage session
Cheers bro, it takes what seems like forever when a camera is involved making sure it's all turned on and recording with enough light etc, lol, RSM8.
Nice job, great. I benefited from valuable information, but I have a problem with sulfur. I don’t know how cleaning is
Thank you for your help.
Cheers buddy.

I've just bought a Virago xv750 trike myself.
Nice, I don't think you'll go far wrong with that, I've got to fit a reverse box upto this one now, the jobs never stop coming in, lol, RSM8.
hello, very good video...thanks..perfect..sincerly..
Cheers buddy, most appreciated.
I've got a 535cc virago Yamaha trike, 🤗🇬🇧, we're is the petrol reserve ⛽🙄, as there's no tap on the tank 😳?, wierd!
Sorry for not replying before now bud, there is no reserve or pet cock, as its a two part tank, main tank is low down behind to rear mudguard cover and then the rest is the actual tank, dad just filled up every 100 miles to be safe, RSM8
I must admit side mounted is a lot more convenient
Thanks David, yep the side mounted ones proved to be a doddle compared to having to lift the tank etc, cheers Bud & Ride Safe.
The hole for the plug on my rear cylinder is stripped. What do I do?
a fine job, those pesky plug ends :-) RSM8
Cheers bro, yep they catch me out again and again, why they can't just make their mind up throughout the trade, on or off, lol, RSM8.
Sound as a pound on a coconut round, you obviously learned a lot watching me throw spanners at Uncle Bill when you were younger. Proud of you.?
Hahaha! I learned everything from you dad, so if I make any mistakes it's not my fault, lol, I didn't know any better, ;-)
Can you please write down for me the name of the air filter? I just can't find a good one.
