Are you sure it wasn't the Conspicuity Vest that got their attention?

Me, I use the bike to find where nobody else goes, so I'm not self-conscious

Saw the movie "The Crying Game", good movie, go see it.
There is a line in there where a prisoner requests that his hood be taken
off. The guard responds "We could do that but then we would have to  shoot
you"
It got a laugh out of the two dod'ers in attendance.

Check the starter relay/solenoid.  My 750 had these symtoms for a while.
It would randomly do nothing when the starter button was pressed.  Several
stabs at the button and it would start as if nothing was wrong. 

The relay wasn't really meant to be serviced.  I pried it open anyway.
Just far enough to squirt in some 3M miracle oil.  Put the thingie back
together and it hasn't acted up since.  Of course, I haven't ridden my
motorcycle since then either. :-(  

Send me some mail in a month or two when it's back on the road.  I hope to
get her in running order by April at the latest.

I have the same bike and it now has 20k on the odometer.  The only recurring problem I have
had is with warmup.  When cold and idling, one cylinder doesn't like to fire and so far
has proven too be incurable nuisance but tolerable with patient warming.  Lately the 
starter has been talking back with some rude noises.  I have been told that is normal
with the Virago's, for starters to go out.  All in all, I have thought it to be a great
 low-mainteanance bike and strong enough for my needs.

You could put your foot into one finger of a surgical glove (well, if
you were of the mind to do so... to each his own :-)  They stretch quit
a bit... certainly over any glove. Not sure how comfortable the tightness

I asked somebody at MotoPort about this and they said the ceramic magnets,  
which were more powerful than the previous metalic ones, were also polarized or  
uni-directional or something, which prevented screwing up your disks and cards.   
I guess the next obvious question is, "How do you know if they're polarized or  
not?"
As an aside, I ran a strong refrigerator-type magnet over a 3.5" Mac diskette  
with data repeatedly, and my Mac still read the files just fine.  Hmmmmm....

Good post, except for the last bit! (You can try to remember to tell
observers that BMW built bikes for ~3 years before they began building
cars.)

Swap the problems: You've gotten the nail, your friend has the busted
turn-signal switch. You can fix your own tire, using your tire repair kit
(ok, your bike probably didn't come with one. I think that started in '84
or so. Get one from your dealer). Your friend will probably have to wait a
couple of days for a new switch.

Now whose bike is easier to repair?

OBBMWPitch: when my highbeam switch fried itself a few years ago, my dealer
had one in stock. YMMV. FWIW, I blame the switch failure on the Eclipse
tankbag I used to use. It bumped the switch from lo<->hi more times than I
can count, and tended to leave it teetering on the brink of the lo/hi
transition. I got a BMW (Bring More Wampum, in this case) bag now. Even
with the barbacks, all it does is blow the horn at full lock:-}

I bought my '87 Virago two years ago with 4500 miles on the odometer.  It
now has 22,500 miles on the odometer.  It sounds like your experience with
it becoming 'lazy' at over 4000 RPM is contrary to my experience with my bike.
My bike is 'lazy' at 2-3 K, then at 3K pulls very hard up through about 6K.
After about 5K, I find it will accelerate better if I let off the throttle
a bit.  (My bike runs a bit rich, since I do almost all of my riding at
above 6000 ft in elevation).

It sounds like the carb needs adjusting in the bike you rode (or maybe the
valves).

The 1100 Virago should be the fastest cruser, except for the V-MAX.
According to the stats published in the magazines, it should outrun
any stock Harley, Intruder, or Vulcan (including the 1500cc Vulcan).
Except for starter problems (which I am told were corrected in
later model years (except mine may be acting up every now
and then)), the bike, is very reliable.  My bike has never let me
down (but my started makes funny noises every now and then).

I love my Virago.  Buy it and get it throughly tuned up.  You will
probably love it.

Both my K bike and R bike have warnings that say to prevent high speed
weaving, the maximum speed with bags attached is 80mph. I've done many miles 
on the K bike with the bags on, under many wind conditions at DoD minimum and 
beyond and have not experienced any weave or wobble. The only instability

  I rode a Nighthawk 750 a while back and was quite pleased. The bike
was smooth, very tall geared (overdrive), and quite comfortable in
ergonomics and ride. With shaft drive and hydraulic valves I think it
would make an excellent sport tourer. As for handling, I was noticably
faster on it through tight twisties than on a VFR1000 which was also along
for the ride. Only at very high speeds and lean angles did the shaft
make me nervous and I suspect that's because I'm not used to it. The
motor makes good bottom end power and has a nice spike in it at around
3/4's to redline. The guides initially wear quickly causing some minor
smoking but then seem to wear quite well. All in all one of the nicer
bikes I've ridden and definitely underrated.

Isn't this the reason God gave us Ducatis, Laverdas, and Moto Guzzis, that
is to say, to eliminate the aforementioned effect?  The Germans never could
make their bikes handle.  Still can't, from what I can tell.  Oh sorry.
Someone says the price of the bike and "superior" engineering indicate 
otherwise?  Silly me...  B-)

If you have a Radian (Yamaha 86 600 cc) and have done an oil 
change on it please read on:

I removed the drain plug and the oil filter bolt and let the
oil drain. I reinstalled the drain plug & the oil filter bolt

BUT I found this thin metal washer lying in the oil pan and
am not quite sure where it goes. I think it goes inside the
filter casing, on the filter bolt , between the spring and
the head of the bolt.

Do you know if this is correct ??

Thanks
