My yamaha virago 535 acts like the engine is locked up but i went out to my shop and it rolls over and starts. then it dies and acts locked up again. my thoughts are its a camchain jam up or a bad solonoid/starter motor or a valve got bent. I have looked into all of these things and I'm stumped

If it is possible to start at all. Fresh fuel fresh engine oil good battery. You may have the following problems; Corroded and blocked carburetor fuel system, bad wire connections piston ring set up.... I hope it was kept indoors and the fuel was drained out before it was left sitting. Good luck, they are nice bikes.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Charging problems could either be a stator issue or a failed rectifier/regulator combo. To check:

• measure the battery voltage with the engine off;
  
• start the bike and measure it again, it should be slightly higher;
  
• rev the bike, the voltage should rise as the RPM increases;
  
• measure the voltage by pairs on the 3 white wires from the stator;
  
• there should be AC voltage that increases as the RPM ncreases.
