Yamaha virago 250 xv250 Bobber: Let's go for a ride !!! 

Just ordered the same air filter. Right now my carb is apart for cleaning due to hesitation issues. Getting new pipes. Using your videos and IRIDETAS videos as inspiration

Thank you for all the great videos you put out!

@@rabidsquirrelgarage745 nice to hear they were of use to you! 😀

@@iRidetas i had great ideeas and inspirations from you aswell mate, will put a video of my xv250 and give you a shout out

@@Xlay16 thanks mate

Awesome!!!

As a new rider *and I mean NEW*.. I needed to hear this! I bought a 1999 and we're working out a few bugs, nothing major, before I try doing anything more than rolling 5mph up and down my driveway. It feels good so far though. I like the fit and it really does sound sweet!

Awesome, I hope you are doing well. I lost a daughter due to cancer. It's hard to go through. I can only imagine how it feels. Good luck to you and blessing come your way.

@@rabidsquirrelgarage745 thank you kindly for taking time to reply. I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I was diagnosed very late and given a year to live in July 2018 but somehow with the power of pray from family and friends God has given me second chance. I was able to have chemotherapy and surgery and more chemotherapy and during 2018 and March 2019 and so far in remission. Thank you sweet Jesus. In a way cancer has been blessing for me it's brought me closer God and made realise I need to cherish my life family and friends. My email is masonkp@outlook.com please can you give your email I would like to send you photos of my bikes. Take care and thanks for your RU-vid channel it has helped me. Also please see youtube channel called biker bits by Mark Victor he's done build series on a 1998 Yamaha virago xv250.

I bought a 750 in not the best condition for 600 and its now chopped and a bobber. Best purchase iv ever made

Awesome, thank you!

@@rabidsquirrelgarage745 next spring I'm considering an ecotron fuel injection system and the small turbo they also sell. I have the 17-40 sprockets myself but I want to be able to maintain 70mph on the interstate when its windy. My speedo reads about 4 mph fast at road speed. I know a lot of people will say why spend so much on a small bike but I think the build would be a blast and I'd have a one of a kind and that would make it worth every penny at least to me!

@@geraldburmeister9637 Don't listen to others, do what you find exciting and fun!! This bike is super fun for such a small engine. I plan to ride it a lot.

@@rabidsquirrelgarage745 I don't I was just fending off the crap before it started lol! Small bikes are awsesome!!!!

@@geraldburmeister9637 I hear ya! Fun stuff!!

Thank you! Cheers!

I got the bars and lights from Amazon and the exhuast from eBay. Check out the play list for this bike, I have a video for them all.

The cables were fine. I did have to lengthen the wires though. I have a video on it in the playlist.

Sure, here ya go! amzn.to/3rvdi8G

I bought the filter on Amazom, just search for VW air filter. Here is the video of me installing it.

17/40

Thanks! I got them on Amazon: amzn.to/30LmHgI

Thanks!!

Nah, Ohio. A ride would be nice though, been working too much, need to ride more.

Thanks !!!!

I looked everywhere I could think of and didn't find any for that size that came with white walls. This is why I did my own. They still look awesome after all this time and riding. I have a video on how I did it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xku3U0Rxa9U.html

@@rabidsquirrelgarage745 thank you so much for your rapid response, and all of your helpful videos. Just watched the one on whitewall DIY you made, and it saved me. I just bought my first motorcycle 7 days ago (never even sat on one before), and I've ridden it once. Awesome bike, but already want to modify it. Thanks again for everything you do. 🏍️✌️

@@marcelfrederick7241 Thank you!!! I hope you journey well and an angel be on your shoulder.

Unwrap the cables from tree and notice how they are mounted onto the bars. 8 or 10 apes fit. These look like 12 almost with stock it appears (stocks remounted). Might be 10s and its camera effect?

That is the stock seat ! I just cut it down and reshaped it !! Check out my play list for this bike!

Looking for parts from China on eBay is the best place I've found. Not much else out there.

@@rabidsquirrelgarage745 yep seems to be the place thanks anyway keep riding be safe 👌

I'm using this brake light: amzn.to/3k6cOCT and the seat is stock, I reshaped and recovered it myself in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sx0ok2DQTOc.html

Could be the year or in some countries it isn't sold as a Virago but under a different name. Can't remember what the other name is.

Thanks 😁

I bought to on Amazon, just search for VW air filter. Here is a video of me installing it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WVl1nrjuuvE.html

I did them myself using this: amzn.to/2Q0x2k8 -- You can watch the video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xku3U0Rxa9U.html

I am 5' 8" and the seat is a little stiff but not bad. You would definitely not want to ride for more than an hour without a break.

I got it off Amazon. Just search for VW air filter.

Awesome thanks mate

Once I put the different sprockets, air filter and exhaust on it, it isn't bad at all. You would know it was a 250.

Still max out at 70ish?

@@kylearruda8419 I can get close to 80 on flat roads.
