Great looking and sounding bike man. I jus got a 97 Virago 750 and am trying to fix it up. Where did you get the indicators?

Hi man. Very cool video. Im about to do that too. I have 83' 920. Can You advise which 2gen cover will fit plug and play? 750/1000/1100? Tha ks in advance. Keep up the great work!

do you have a wire diagram for the install? I just did the upgrade and can't figure out why my bike won't start.

Loved this video .well done

What a nice bike , love the colour great job.

I am converting my 1993 1100 Virago to a single Mikunioz carb. The info from Maikunioz is that if running a fuel pump, the carb might overflow. I was going to go gravity feed fuel to the single carb. How do you run your Virago fuel line to the carb? Thanks

Hello, Could you help me with my virago? I bought monometer and one monometer showing 3 time wide range of jumping arrow than another. Arrow jump up down, but another look much narrow. What could it be? I know it was small hole on diaphragm could it be related with it?

Hey, i would love to ride a Single carb on my virago! I red in the comments that you had issues with this setup. Is There any setup you could recoment for a Single carb built?

Eyelids deep in the upgrade now. Mechs all done but i get weary come wire time. Your video gets kinda bouncy right at that key area but i think i get the gist. Hopefully. Going to try

did you ever find out a good solution for a passenger seat ?

Matt, do you happen to have a wiring diagram for the Mo.Unit portion of this build? I am stuck and can't find a complete reference. I have synthesized everything I could find between Revival and forums to no avail.

it looks great! wish you all the best

What handlebar is that? Do you have a link for it?

Top ...and a nice Bike your XV. Do you know...if the same parts are run´s by a XV 1100 (Bj.1998)?? I `ll plan to change the Carb´s from dobble Carb( orig.) to a single Carb´s with parts...her in fuc...ing Germany :-)) Good luck for you and this bike and THANK´s for an answer !!

Hi i definetly fell into the tm38 single conversion trap. I've tried the 15 pilot and bought 17,5 pilot also. I just cant get it tuned. the carb backfires into the carb when giving slightest of throttle. did you have any backfiring issues with the low pilots? I can drive it by slowly lifting the throttle with the needle on the richest setting. im kinda on my wits end with this. Do I just need way bigger pilot jet to run it somehow.

I dont know whats the problem on mine I just installed it and when giving slightest of throttle it stalls and backfires into to the carb. it feels like the pilot would be glogged but it isnt. I guess I have to check that the carb gets enough gas from the tank. maeby float is off somehow?

Wont that decrease performance tho?

The valves are shot

Fantastic! Sounds like a harley 😍

I have suzuki katana 600cc 1994,can this be done on it,the four carburetors is giving me problems.

I have a 1983 XV500K. Looking for carburetor size info. Everything seems to be for the 535 and larger. Any help would be appreciated.

The duals are way more efficient and deliver a better ride than the single setup especially on the xv750.

Great video, keep it up! I have a Yamaha XV 500 from 1983. Do you think this could work on it? Or the VM 34's?

Where'd you go?

how'd you deal with the petcock? I ripped the stock lines out with the carb, plugged what I suppose is the vacuum for the stock carbs (the smaller outlet) and ran an 8mm line with an inline filter from the petcock to the carb, but now the bike only works on 'PRI'. 🤔

Ride now and rebuild later ( if you think it’s necessary :) I bought my 1981 XV920RH chain drive, brand new in 1981. It’s still in my garage although it’s been upgraded over the years and not completely stock anymore. It’s been up and down both coasts of North America and from coast to coast a few times as well. Gotta Love big v twins 😎

Great brother. 👍👏👏👏

Way too low idle. Asking for the cams to seize due to lack of oil been pumped upwards. You will get away with it for a while. Loosen one of the oil pipes at the top and see the different amount of oil that is pushed up between 750 rpms and 1000 rpms.

Sell that one and try the "Mikuni vm38" there better for the viragos

Leave it to the Aussies to make everything easier!😂 Sick as man, ordering this soon and I’m throwing it on my 82 VX750

Where did you get your pipes made ? Sounds great

Great informative video Matt. I’m building a Gen 2 750 so I’ve subscribed and will watch again with interest👍

Where does the tubing go from the carbs? My bike doesn’t have and AIS system will this still work

Nice. Going to install the same manifold with a VM34 on my 750. I'll also need filters for the crank case breathers, right?

Hi Matt, I'm keen to know some power figures if you visit a dyno to check jetting etc. I'm also off and on with my bike, it's been in bits a year now while dealing with life. I fitted a single carb on a home made manifold and increased torque 10% and only lost 2hp but it peaks lower revs but still pulls to redline, standard it rolled off before redline and it feels much faster now. The dyno visit was a great thing to do.

what did you do with your vacuum cutoff valve? I don't know if i need to keep them or not with the single carb.

So far non of single carb converter in the market worked efficiently. Some people are still in working over it to built a perfect one. but will get there.

Hey! Will we be getting part 3 soon? Hope all is well!

Beautiful bike m8. If you get sick of the riding position, fit an LSL top yoke and a set of Renthal Superbike handlebars. I've just done that to my 1999 R1 and transformed it. Fantastic job buddy. Many happy miles.

Fantastic videos, fabulous bike. I've loved these Yam v-twins since my mate bought one new in 1981, I think? Always wanted to street-track a TR1 because the chain drive lets you bugger about with wheel width, but have neither the skills required nor the infrastructure necessary 😅. Great seeing you do this buddy and I'm chuffed for you that it started so easily. I haven't seen the road test yet but I bet the mudrange is vastly improved with the extra 250 cc, just wondering if bigger carbs might be a benefit? Anyway enjoy your new sled buddy!

put the 1000 heads on the 750 and supercharge it bro

I have an XV1100 but am a bit unsure about the dual rear shocks - they just don't look as good as the stealthy mono-shock. Maybe I need to find a cheap 750 and see if I can fit the 1100 engine into it ... That said, I do want to be able to ride 2-up so maybe dual-shock is the way to go. Your bike has certainly given me food for thought :) And it sounds so good too! Normally the short pipes sound crap but yours sounded really good - I can only imagine they sound even better with the end-caps? I'm also wondering about using a sanding disk on the grinder to make those cooling fins on the cylinders a bit thicker - like on the 750 engine ... but not sure whether that will have any significant detrimental effect to the cooling? Nice work, sir.

One ugly sob turned into something really special and beautiful 🤩

So do you put the headgasket ontop of the firering ? or taking it out and then put on the headgasket ?

She looks and sounds fantastic, mate. Great job. I see you ended up going with the single carb conversion. I bobbered my own XV750, also went with single re-jetted carb, currently making my own seat. Riding season is coming up, here in the States. Enjoy...cheers.

Love the sound of the bike I want this on my bike, Whats the diameter on the exaust pipes and thickness?

Will this work for a 1983 750 virago?

If you happen to still have this single carb set up laying around, another CZcamsr (Steve's DYIs) looks to have solved the virago single carb air/fuel cylinder imbalance. It's to do with the cylinder firing order. He used a different intake from what you used, so I'm very curious how the MikuniOz single intake would do with his fix. I was about to pull the trigger on some dual vm or tm38's for my xv1100 until i watched Steve's video. Gives me hope for the single carb setup. His video was just uploaded a few days ago... czcams.com/video/u-LvZgdkaPg/video.htmlsi=djrsuPSeFXCW44S5

Cool bike. Thanks for sharing! What air filter are you using and does it fit the XV920 too? Thanks!

TM38 carb and jetting you describe sounds like a 2 stroke/snow set up what jetting ,slide and needle are in vm34/36's ?
