Neben einer '54 NSU Max, '80 SR 500, '82 XJ 650 Seca
hab ich nun vor kurzem eine Virago gekauf. Faehrt ein Leser dieser
Webseite vielleicht eine '83 XV920MK und mit welchen Erfahrungen?
Ueber einen Erfahrungsaustausch wuerde ich mich sehr freuen.
Also vielleicht bis dann .... Micha

My name is Michael Steinbach and I own a Yamaha SR 500 and
a '82 XY 650 SECA. The SR 500 I rode
40 000 miles through Europe. Both are very reliable bikes.
Last week I bought a '83 Virago and I am pretty disappointed
that Yamaha was not able to come up with a fix for this starter
issue. I am really afraid that parts will fall off the starter
and will damage something internally (flywheel).
The starter sounds terrible and it is embarrassing.
Does somebody own a 83 XV920MK and what's your experience?

I Brought a xv920 canadian import that was a non starter due to the starter motor i did eventually get it sorted and now its ok ( still noisy but it works ) in the process i have learnt a fair bit about them,very poor design.
email me with your specific problem and i will help all i can, it will help if you have access to some machinery ( lathes mainly )but i can also help with this if needed.
