Might be better off getting some better exhausts, problem is theres not much available for a 125, do you know if you can get custom exhaust to fit a virago engine?

got some fairly nasty looking rust on my downpipes, would it be ok to use a low grit sandpaper to get the rust off then coat in acf50? or just coat in acf50 ? and also if i did use low grit sandpaper on the chrome would it be noticeable ? Cheers

I recently bought this, its got the same engine as the virago 125, just wondering if anyone knows how to derestric it? can the airfilter be changed without re-jetting? is there anything that could be done to get a little more top end?

just gave them a quick ring, asked about starter motor he said he wanted £349.90 for starter motor surely that cant be right?

Yep looks like starter motor has gone, i cant see how though all was fine a few days before??? any way it can be fixed? ( and do you know what starter motors will fit this? like will a cg fit? )

i really dont have a clue when it comes to crossing the terminals, i tried doing what anglian said, i did manage to get a spark, but it is only now and again, it doesnt happen everytime i try to cross them if that makes sense, there is a fuse on the solenoid which seems fine, is there ay other fuse that could be causing this problem.

Ok so there no spark, so looks like i need a new starter either that or im not doing it right, can a starter motor be fixed? rather than buying a new one?

I cant figure out how to jump the solenoid? i had it sparing once but took it off, and i cant get it too spark again? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Honda-CLR125-CLR- ... 1c0ce97d4c ^^its the same as that^^ And also would taking that too bits, and giving it a good clean help? as it seems there is some moisture in these parts?

yeah the indicators and light works without the engine running, got a funny feeling it might be solenoid, but the bike did turn over yesterday but i didnt have the choke on, so i let go of the starter and this started happening, which leads me to believe it is the battery, also after a short ride yesterday it cut out, i press the starter it worked but sounded like the battery was struggling to start the bike, i could hear it trying but it sounded like it was struggling, however it did run fine after a bump start.

just been an had another look, tested all the electrics, and realised that everything works apart from front right indicator, and the brake light doesnt work when i pull the front brake ( works with rear break ) something else that is quite strange is that when i put on the indicators theres a strange clicking/ticking noise for about a second before they come on? anybody got any ideas? Im hoping its battery.

just tried your suggestion east anglian, and it still didnt start, just changed the fuse, on the box where the terminals comes from, still makes no difference? worth buying a new battery?

Also forgot too mention that it did start yesterday, with the starter after a few clicks, took it for a run and it cut out, had to bump start it after pushing it up a huge hill , if it is a new unit how much would we be talking?

thanks ill go give it a try now, are you sure i should give it a good whack? doesnt look very sturdy too me, that is if im looking at the right thing.

My 2000 Honda CLR isnt starting, it just makes a clicking noise, one single click, i though it might have been the battery so i took it out and tested it on the battery charger, it shows as green, while i was taking out the battery i noticed a fuse on the box behind the battery where the terminals lead from, could the fuse be causing this or is it just a bad battery? all was well 4 days ago, started having trouble yesterday, thanks.

My plans fairly simple, baseball bat to the head i dont care how many of them there are ill take down as many as i can before i go down. Police havent really been much help, came out had a look at the bike etc, also realised earlier this morning most of my stuff in the shed was missing
