[frankspadaro78]

I own an 82 750 & the starter sounds like

s@¥t this video was a great help!!!! Perfect thank you

I have a 81 virago and I am reading mixed reviews about the dr virago power clip set what is the real fix for the bike can I get a more powerful starter or what do I need to do just sell the bike and run from it?

[Moparking950]

A friend just picked one up I think the statewide is bad but it looks new it invades but turns very slowly if at all sometimes it just clicks. Using car battery on starter should have no problem turning over.

Good Video. Gould you make One like this for the 1100 Drag starr?

Greetings from Germany;)

Nothing like people that that 10 minutes to give a 2 minute explanation. He loves to hear his own voice.

[bigun1999999]

@ChgoSTrider i wish i could actually hear his voice over that shit in the background

[AirCargoHeavy]

I had a 920 Virago years ago that I really liked, except for the *%#$@ POS starter. I wish I had access to this info back then.

Because of the starter, that bike was completely unreliable. And I really like old bikes.

[enrisantee]

awesome video ...however this is NOT the same starter gearing and setup on the 1983 vx500 which i own and am having the same issue on...on the 83 none of the brake springs exist and neither does the return spring...ive been at it all day and have not found a way to fix this on the 83..most people just cut in half the return spring to fix the model years shown in the video..does ANYONE out there know how to solve the problem for the 83 xv 500!!!

[mashina10]

thanks so much Randy. Perfect explanation of how that bendix works. Really helpful explaination of what causes the problem that has developed and finally stopped my bike starting. Brilliant.

[dragonmarx76]

I just bought a 1983 yamaha midnight virago 750 and it wont start right up. so i guess i dont need to replace the starter i need to replace the gears

[bartharpster]

About two weeks ago it started sounding like the slip gear isn't even TOUCHING the flywheel, and I'm about to start taking it apart tonight. This video has just given me a huge head start on what kind of mess I'm about to work on.. Thank you for the help, I'm definitely subscribing!

This video is so informative. Just bought a Virago with this exact problem. Replaced the Power Stop Clips and starting got better but still grinds 1 out of 3 attempts. Do you think that the the return spring needs to be replaced also. Can not wait for part 2 since I think you may reveal some more info. You are a god send at the moment.

[jbrum01]

so where is the video that shows you how to fix it?.....

[daggerdarts]

We're still putting the bike back together and the video will be finished in about a week.
