I have a Yamaha virago 535. The bike goes like a bat out of hell until I get up to around 50 mph. From there if I try to roll on the trottle I get no response. I have to back off and roll on very slowly to accererate. There is absolutly no gunning it at highway speed. There is no response, just stays at the same speed I was going
You may have a fuel problem ,try cleaning out your main jets and try running with no air cleaner .it may need changing ,and a new one fitted
You have to strip the carb of the bike to get to the jet .they are made of brass and are very small .you will need a very small socket or in some cases they alos have a flat head screwdriver fitting .They get blocked or cet coated in a glue like substance which eventually blocks the very small holes thus cuttingf down the feul supply .

It sounds like the floats are sticking starvin it of fuel or the filter
Main fuel tank on 1997 V 535 is full of rust. Can it be cleaned and reused, or will the crud return?

Is the main jet located in the float bowl? If so I have already taken a look at those and they apear to be fine
