2000 Yamaha XV 535 Virago DX - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

wowweee youve done it now buddy. by doing this you could have ruined your batter or potentially burnt all the wiring in your bike. so go through and check with a wire tester... call the dealer and ask them

I would go for the water pump seal first, it is an easy fix. Pull the left case cover and there it is. You will of course have to take the water pump cover off and all the plumbing that goes with it. Be sure that when you put the new water pump seal in not to put any lubricant like oil or grease on it. This is a ceramic seal and oil or grease on it will ruin it. There is also a spring in there that keeps pressure on the seal so replace that as well. You will see what is there when you get it apart. Replace any corroded/rusted parts. Take a good look at the impeller and make sure it is 100% while you are in there. Sometimes these will break loose from the shaft. If you have any questions about it replace it. If after that you still have water in the oil it would be a head or base gasket I am thinking requiring an adult to intervene, a qualified Ducati mechanic.

I answered the same question a few minutes ago from a different poster.

Just measure the distance (eye hole to eye hole centerline), measure the mounting hole/stud size, then approximate the overall weight and order some for an aftermarket co.

And what's the problem If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/edward_020b3320326d263d

you would need two 2 wire switch's as one wire feeds switch , one feeds ignition and one feeds starter to start on momentary

Sorry, I'am in Canada , but a friend of your's could use a bit of sandpaper(very fine grit) to remove overspray

If this is when you are riding, then I would suspect that the ignition coils are breaking down, or you have blocked main jets in your carbs. Try changing the coils first and blowing through your jets with an airline..

Sounds like the engine is down on compression. Probably needs valve adjustment. If you have the tools, or can borrow them, do a compression test on both cylinders. Or if possible, a leak down test would give you an even better idea of what is going on inside that engine. Good Luck!

can you help me

sounds like alternater to me, check voltage from is ok. http://www.electrosport.com/media/pdf/fault-finding-diagram.pdf

Apparently this is a common problem that I also have. Another website said that there is not a true reserve. This bike is designed to slow down the fuel pump when the reserve switch is on the "on" position and the fuel is low to give you the sense that you are running out of gas. My solution, reset the trip meter each time you get gas and make sure you fill up before reaching 100 miles.

check throtle cable is routed properly and make sure cable is lubricated

I am not real familiar with you bike but I may be able to help you trouble shoot it. Is the motor trying to turn over? If not it may be your starter. You should be able to tell by the sound. If its sounds normal starting up but wont turn on. You want to check and see if your spark plugs are good. Take them out and touch the threaded part of the spark plug to an unpainted piece of your bike. Now hit the start button and see if they spark. If they do not spark or have alot of carbon build up on them replace that and try again. If the new spark plugs do not work then its a wiring problem and let me know and I will talk you thru that. If its not the spark plugs then you want to check the gas flow. On the bottom of the gas tank there will be a shut off valve for the gas(petcock). Attached to the petcock there is a hose that comes off the bottom and runs to the carburetor. Turn the petcock off and detach the hose from the carburetor. Get a basin that you can temporarily put gas into. Put the hose in the basin and turn the gas back on. If you get good gas flow the petcock is good. Now if they are good this is where the fun begins. The carburetor is very touchy when it comes to any dirt or anything of that nature there are alot of small holes for the gas to go thru especially with the main and pilot jets. It may just be that the float is stuck. Your best bet in this case is just to get a phish(its like a parts schematic) and a bottle of carb cleaner and go to town cleaning all the ports and pieces. Make sure that when you take the carburetor off you put a clean paper towel in any open holes in the motor. You dont want any dust or dirt getting in there.

there are 2 carbs--where the cable hooks to them theres a spring lever that hits a screw-u ajust that by ear with bike runnin----------buy a clymer book for total repair

check the neutral(ground) and look at the other wire too , could be just a bad connection. failing that check the bulb holder itself. you say the bulb is ok? sometimes they look good but are duff try it in the front where you know it should work.

Wot bike

I would start simply.Check or replace all your bulbs first.Then take apart your bulb sockets front and back and spray with electrical contact cleaner and a little lubricant.Make sure all the sockets have free travel and are not corroded at the grounding points on the frame.Some lights ground through the frame mounting and some have a separate ground wire.It sounds like you may just have a bad connection. Most brake lights wont work with key off as there is no power to the circuit.Also clean your brake light switches in the handlebar and down on the frame for the back brake.

i have a 1996 xv 1100 virgo put jardine on it from motorcycle super stores. didn't have to mess with carbs at all. run great.
