[@eveen3492]

Thats what im talking about! Those fins look way better polished.

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

Yep, looks pretty good IMHO. :-)

[@langpapini8331]

I love that you’re breaking down everything. I’m really enjoying the vids!

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

I'm so glad!

[@petelewis7313]

man great videos in this series. I'm considering getting a virago 750 and doing it up. For someone who knows nothing about bikes, this is a great watch . Thanks!

I painted my engine graphite grey and fits really well with the jet black frame

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

OH, I'll bet that looks cool!

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

I hope this paint holds up better!!

[@iRidetas]

looks great!

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

Thank You!!! That means a lot coming from you!

[@iRidetas]

Youve done a great job on it, cant go wrong with the black white and red such a classic hotrod colour scheme love it!

[@facundo42996]

Gonna be using your videos to work on my Virago (2001). I don’t have HALF the experience and knowledge you do, but the videos are very helpful and hopefully I’ll learn a thing or two throughout the project. How many miles did your father’s bike have when you started the project?

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

Got for it !! That's how I learned. Lots of mistakes but in the end, got the look and performance I wanted !!!

[@facundo42996]

Rabid Squirrel Garage Thank you! It’s gonna be a great project to keep me busy through this New Jersey fall/winter. Off the top of your head do you know how much you spent to restore the Virago?

Красиво конечно. Что будет после попадания в лужу. Вся красота покроется пятнами и отмыть эти пятна не получится.

Sweet

Very good, beautiful, awesome color combination, flat black with the piano always fit fine. Can you please help me with the carburetor tune? My bike is drying too much fuel, 18 liters per Km, this with a 250 engine is too much. If you could get me a hand with this I will really appreciate

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

My best guess is that you are not in the U.S. If true, stay away from gas stations that are small and don't have a big name. Also, you can run something like Stay-Bil in the gas to help combat the ethanol.

[@jorge.barcelos]

@@rabidsquirrelgarage745 Yeah, I'm from Brazil, and here the gas stations suck, the gas is poor and suck too, but I mean the carburetor adjustments to save some fuel, what can I do to not spend too much fuel? Change jets, needle, or something else? Thank you for your time sir.

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

@@jorge.barcelos You can try to adjust the air fuel mixture screw but I would not do anymore than that. Like I said, fuel additives like Stay-Bil will help out a lot.

I have a 97 virago 250 and the cam and chain cover on cylinder 2 fell off going down the road and I cannot find the replacement part ANYWHERE. Would you have any idea where to find one??????

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

Try bikebandit . com -- They have all kinds of stuff and a parts schematic break down of the bike.

[@michaelclark8665]

Rabid Squirrel Garage I can’t even find the part on schematics. All I see is to order a whole new cylinder :( thank you so much for your help though!

[@sergebaele5577]

i have a virago 250 from 1992 i have one question for the transmission is that the same oil then for engine or is that and other thank you serge

[@rabidsquirrelgarage745]

The oil in the engine is for both the engine and transmission.

Yes, just need to warm up the rubber boot some and it slides right on. Here is the video of me installing it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYfPYqGon9qorKc
