- XV750, XV920, 1981-3 Virago Starter Ring Gear Fix
The ring gear left stock or even with the shim kit will spin robbing the engine of the power to rotate quick enough to start. This fix is one out of 4 or 5 fixes nesseary to have a well running Virago . . . a little long, for those who know but a little instructional for those who are learning. Enjoy. Doctor Virago.
PS. Sorry Some is a little off camera, I am not a pro and don't have a flip viewer
These models also use the same starter. I thought you might add it to the main description for others with the unmentioned models. Great video, thank you!
Thank you Dr. Virago I have one of the XV750 1986 which refuses to start. The planetary gears are so packed with molybdenum grease it's a wonder it would spin at all. I will follow your instructional video carefully and expect it to be perfect. Thanks again. Hans
Thank you, Dr. Virago, that works fine! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
. . When Goolge and youtube merged . . I lost any way to be here as Doctor Virago so must post as my shop Air Heart Forge . .
where can i buy the power clip and shims for the starter engagement problem
using loctight might be better. the wall looks to thin for threads
I’ve got 82 xv750 and no spark on rear cylinder. I’ve changed cdi. Coils. Ohmed the pickups and they are fine. Swap the leads to the coils and the rear will fire. Any help would be awesome
Please forgive my possible ignorance. If you don't let that ring gear slip to some degree, what happens if you get any kind of backfire or backwards crank rotation during starting. Somethings got to give, like possibly a broken gear tooth or worse. Just asking.
hi,first of all thank you very much for the video.only one question,I have a Yamaha Xv 1000 with the same problem.do you think this works on my model?is a 1983 tr1.thanks for the help.
hi does anybody no where that little locking metal key part goes thats in the back of the begging of the video mine fell out and dont no were it goes
Hey guys. could any of u help me out here please. I got a 1999 virago 125cc. The starter wont start the bikeIt wont even make a noise nothing. I have to hit second gear and run with the bike to get it to turn on. After its turns on everything works geart and when it gets hot the starter will work just fine... I changed the battery spark plugs cleaned out the carburetor and i even took a part the starter from the handel bars apart and cleaned it. Nothing is working and i reallly dont know what else to do here. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!
wow, what year was that when corded drills with keyed chucks were used?! Good info there. Glue it in place with JB Weld too. Bulletproof.
I wonder if Yamaha thought to just place ears on the ring gear?
I did this and it didn't help. I think the starter is weak. I doesn't have the torque to stay engaged always. I think a good battery is really key and keep the bike tuned up so it starts easy.
muppet,that would cause serious damage ,during a common backfire,u really know what your doing, aye,even a well maintained bike can backfire, i know where im spending my money,on a 4 brush starter, best thing u can do
hi there, great video and solution, what are the other 4 things we need to do dude x
need help to get my 82 virago 920 to start
hello, I have a 85 xv700 that im having trouble out of. could you please tell me if 145 lbs of compression on both cylinders is enough for it to run. the rear plug is gas fouling like crazy.. thank you
The "clips" are brakes as you described, however they in no way stop the starter gear from rotating as it rides down the spiral gear that its spinning on, centrifugal force sends it out to the flywheel however without enough force to force the engagement as they are grinding, the clip adds drag to the starter gear which assists the centrifugal effect upon the gear by the spiral gears spinning. with no clip on the starter gear it will free whel and maybe not even grind! mine was doing this, freewheeling essentially, I looked ito the oil fill hole and saw the assembly and put a screwdriver to the starter gears back side and added force towards the engagement for the gear, it was kind of scary to hold it as the starter motor was spinning but it actually engaged my starter and got my bike running! I was thinking I was going to have to do it every time to start it however a few more attempts to force the gear down was not successful, so its possible but no slam dunk manually, but you can see into the motor to view what is or is not going on pretty much.
Does this work on or apply for 1985 700 virago ?
