Yamaha Virago description

For sale is my 1982 Yamaha Virago cafe racer. I built this for myself, but some personal issues have come up and now the bike is for sale. It runs great, and has recently had the engine swapped from a 1982 XV750 to a 1992 XV1100; hence why it is listed as a 1982 XV1100 (even though they don't exist.)

Customization include:
  • PWK 32MM Carburetors
  • High-Compression XV1100 Engine (920 heads)
  • Dime City Cycles headlight
  • Hand built subframe from cold rolled steel tubing.
  • Lithium-ion battery.
  • XV1100 Front forks.
  • Rear-to-front wheel conversion (15 inch rims)
  • Tires have only 1000 miles on them.
  • Benelli Mojave Chrome tank
  • Vintage Italian petcocks and gas cap.
  • MotoLanna seat.
  • Digital speedometer/tachometer
  • Bar end mirrors
  • Clip-on handlebars

Yamaha Recalls R1 and Super Tenere for Overheating Headlights

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Yamaha has started a recall campaign on 2009-2013 YZF-R1 sportbikes and 2012-2013 Super Ténéré models because of a risk of headlight failure due to overheating. The recall campaign affects 19,045 units of the R1 and 4,683 units of the Super Ténéré in the U.S. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, heat generated by the headlight bulb socket may cause the terminal ends to expand, resulting in arcing between the terminal connector and bulb contact.

We ran a couple of stories last week - both, coincidentally, about new Kawasakis. One was the first peek of the new ZX10R – hot stuff you’d imagine – the other, the new W800 retro parallel twin. I suppose it shouldn’t have shocked us, which story was most popular in terms of hits but it really does mark a seismic shifts in British biking attitudes that the W800 story doubled the hits of the ZX10 piece.
