Well I`m new here to this site and from what I`ve been finding out is that this problem I`m having with my 1100 Virago sounds like a pretty commen one...So maybe one of you has a working answer for it.....it starts up and runs great for the first few miles...then it starts acting like its running only on one cylinder like its running out of fuel...then it dies...I`ve changed out the fuel filter and made sure the lines ect are not blocked in any way...after it sits for awhile it will start back up....its almost like something is heating up and I`m loosing the spark at the plugs..but, I`ve checked for spark at the plugs...and its not that....also the #2 cyl. chrome exhaust pipe is now turning blue and gold as tho its running to lean and hot.....
I`ve been searching this on the net now and found that many of us Virago owners seem to be having this problem....So maybe one of you out there has an answer that will help in fixing mine...
Well thanks Scotty
