Restriction?

I found something related. A pdf. that shows speed limiters of Japanese Virago(?)125 depending on the TCI installed, and other interesting info. Here: http://viragotechforums.com/phpBB/downl ... e0e7bfb752

EDIT, I cannot get that link to work, so search (google)>japanese virago 250. It is the second one down, a pdf.

If the light is in the speedo maybe the speedo is from a 125? The pdf mentions TCI speed limiters on the 125cc only (as far as I can tell), but it sure sounds like what your friend is experiencing on the 250!

Then again, maybe it really IS a 125.

I was thinking that too, after reading the pdf.

That's great dentheman - i'll forward this to him right away! - thanks for all the help as usual guys

sure hope it's not a 125 - that would be a pretty big thing not to notice but then again it would be a hilarious story to tell

Is it a V-twin with 2 mufflers ?? I can't imagine a 125 V-twin but stranger things have happened. I was very surprised to find out the Australians had a 250 V-twin Marauder.

Isn't that what we call an Intruder? Or is that something completely different? :??:

Probably is. VL Intruder comes to mind. Canadian GZs are Marauders so that was the 1st thing in my mind.

According to Wikipedia, the Intruder started out in 1985 or 86 with a 399cc engine, and goes up to 1500cc. I don't think the 125cc is in that category or nameplate.

I did a search of XV125 and it is a Virago 125, in photos it appears nearly identical to the Virago 250! Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the actual cc's imprinted somewhere on the engine/case of all motorcycles?

I'm afraid Wikipedia appears to be wrong (so what's new?). In Europe, anyhow, the Intruder is the 250 V twin alternative to the Marauder (what you call the GZ)
