Budget Bobber Build #46 | Final Walkaround of Modifications on Virago 250 XV250, XV 250

[@dazthejazz1640]

Well done and congratulations on this series, C. I’ve followed along from the start building my bare metal bobber I’ve taken to calling “ little rusty”. The amount of information you’ve provided along the way has been well presented and tested and proven by you. You’ve made mine and I’m sure many other vx250 owners feel confident that we could replicate and do these mods ourselves In our own sheds with basic toolkit’s. I’ve pretty much finished mine and am moving to an XJ600 as my next project. I’m keen to follow along with whatever your next project may be. Saturday mornings wouldn’t be the same! Cheers!!!

[@iRidetas]

Darren, i think thats the best comment ive ever got, and makes it all worth while. Thanks for the support from day dot. And i love how lil rusty has turned out 😊 cheers mate! And thank you!

[@KennySantaCruz]

Congrats, mate! I have a Sundown V-Blade, another carbon copy of the Virago 250 which was made here in Brazil, and I learned a looooooot here with you. You did an amazing job, thanks for share the journey with us!

[@iRidetas]

Absolutely my pleasure mate glad you enjoyed the videos and i could help! Cheers!

[@semperrobinson7973]

Cool shit bro 😎. Thanks for some the ideas 💡 watch and make it your own thanks to you got my guard chopped today . Amazing what you can get down with 5 minutes on the toilet with you tube playing . Xv250 98 .

[@s.charter]

Great walk through series. Haven't watched all your vids, but might have to start over again to do so.. Have just purchased myself another xv250, with the view to build a functional novelty bike. They sure are 1 of the best small bikes to enjoy.

[@iRidetas]

Couldnt agree more! Good luck and enjoy the build! 👍👍

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Now there’s a bike that show your talent and ingenuity mate!

[@iRidetas]

Thanks so much mate! Im very happy with it as is mrs irt! 😀

[@timjrvine]

Good bike. Great build man. My dad rode one of these from Brissy to Melbourne and back a few years ago.

[@iRidetas]

Awesome! I reckon he would have enjoyed every kilometre! Cheers mate!

[@jordanmurray5109]

Thank you very much for the great content I have only recently come across this build and you have inspired me to do my own build I have risen sport bikes all my life and have now decided to buy a 2001 vstar 250 I'm picking it up next week and then another couple weeks waiting for parts I have never built a bobber nor any bike for that matter but thanks to your videos I think I should be find I'm also going to video document my experience and upload to KZbin so I to can help out people wanting to do a bobber build but are a little nervous about it or have a low budget cheers for the inspiration mate..

[@iRidetas]

Thank you mate, this is why I did the videos, in a sea of youtube negatives, people bitching cause they don't understanding, people trying to be funny, trolls or thinking a free youtube mod will double horsepower etc. You get the pleasure of inspiring genuine guys and gals who want to personalise their bike and it's cool. Good luck with your build and let us know how it goes, cheers!

[@jordanmurray5109]

Will do mate

[@themanlyacademy]

AMAZING videos, brother!! I learned a TON from you! The bike looks sick! Can’t wait to see your brat build! Blessings from Florida!

[@iRidetas]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed, the brat took a back seat for the enfield but thats as cool series too! Cheers

[@M.L.Knotts]

I'm glad you left the tank alone

[@iRidetas]

Yeah the red and cream paint was to nice a scheme to butcher

[@M.L.Knotts]

@@iRidetas any idea where I can find a lower profile seat for the xv250 ?

[@iRidetas]

Ebay is your friend mate!

[@azdesertdog]

Very nice job. It has a better line than the original Yamaha lines.

[@iRidetas]

Thank you AZ i believe so but im biased so get to hear someone agrees! 😀

[@antonyross1811]

Good job man ! i got the same pipes i think from the same store on ebat and wasnt sure if they fit , and then i saw your film and it made me happy .i only bought them last week and they should be here soon !

[@iRidetas]

They arent bad for the money. Sound good. Leave the baffles in imo! Cheers!

[@bhower02]

I hope to do one sometime. It looks like so much fun.

[@iRidetas]

[@TheCaffeineRacer]

Dude lets hope in future your modding bone tingles and you continue with this build you made a dull bike interesting and more rideable. An inspiration . safe riding dude!

[@iRidetas]

Thanks mate! Great comment 😀 there are a couple of things id like to do but its can i justify spending more on it!! Yours was a true inspiration for my xv so thank you!

[@NOToneANOTHER]

Thank you sir

[@OldManTony]

You did a great job mate!

[@iRidetas]

Thanks Tony 😀

[@Guvna947]

Looks great. You did heaps on it.

[@iRidetas]

Thanks mate, built if for my wife. We love it!

[@AzeezOverseas]

Great work. I'm getting virago too!

[@iRidetas]

Enjoy, they are a great bike!

[@AzeezOverseas]

@@iRidetas well, I got honda steed 400 for about $666. Runs like beast but need few things like fuel valve and speedometer. However, previous owner told me he changed oil and drove it for 20km. I smell gas in oil crankcase, while oil level is high. I thought the shop he went to didn't change it probably and mixed oil with gas thinking it's a 2 stroke. Or the gas smell is normal? Oil colour is a bit dark in volume.

[@iRidetas]

oil in fuel not a great combo. I wouldnt assume it was the stroke mix thing mate. Carb float could be stuck open. Fuel thins down the oil making it less effective at lubrication so just be careful. Good luck.with your bike mate!

[@AzeezOverseas]

@@iRidetas thanks bud. I'll take out the dual carbs, and also check the drain tube hole if it's plugged.

[@davida7339]

great videos! great job!

[@iRidetas]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed

[@kutsuwamarui]

I own a Lifan LF250 B (carbon Chinese copy of Yamaha virago 250). Thinking of gutting the mufflers as you did, any recommendations such as tuning the carburettor etc?

[@iRidetas]

Works a treat mate! Watch the gutting vid i did and the tunning vid bro and youll be laughing! Good luck! And thanks!

[@ridzwing927]

What’s under the left side of the bike in the fake air filter there some electrical stuff going into the filter and I just don’t have time to take it off right now

[@penguinproductions7014]

Hello there 👍 hope you don’t mind me asking, do you think viragos are ok for size? I’m 5:11 and want to buy one and solo it with low bars but worried the 535 may end up too small? Any thoughts? Thanks for the channel by the way 👍 superb

[@iRidetas]

Only you can answer that, you need to go and throw a leg over one and ride it!

[@philsweetin5552]

Its a nice looking bike but why the sissy bar when there's no pillion seat?

[@iRidetas]

Cause it looks cool and gave me a mounting point for my swag

[@zackarybarnes9664]

Hey do you remember the diameter of the air filter that you bought like the part that went into the frame

Finally face reveal :D

[@frostytecca3695]

Hey boss i got 1988 Route 66 and wanna do a oil change but I don’t know the dimension/size/ what filter o ring to replacement, any chance you know what to use? I believe it takes a K&N-145

[@iRidetas]

Yeah I believe its 145 but I'd google it mate!

[@frostytecca3695]

@@iRidetas can’t fine a o ring ahh

[@iRidetas]

Mate the oil filters come with the o rings...im not sure what you are asking sorry

[@raivorogoss5940]

How many teeth were stock on rear before you changed it?
