1993 Yamaha Xv 250 Virago S Questions & Answers
How do I unlock ignition
Either your tumblers in the lock are dirty or broken or your key does not fit the lock. If you have an original key it has a key number on it. The bottom of the ignition switch should have the same number on it (A12345,Bxxxxx,Cxxxxx,Dxxxxx,or Exxxxx). If the numbers are different you need to get the other key made at the dealer or locksmith. If the switch is broken you will probably need to buy a new switch.

'81 Virago XV750 Will not crank!
Unstuff all those wires and ck the battery grnd for securement. If any welding was done, The grnd should have been removed, so there is that possibility. Good Luck- That's a nice bike.
Not sure why my bike wont start
How long did the bike set un-used? After years, gasoline turns into varnish after evaporation of the aromatic hydrocarbons. I've actually seen a substance like molasses in all the carbs and the gas tank. Take a bowl off of a carb and see what you find. If it has gone to varnish, you will need to disassemble every component that gasoline touches as a liquid and re-build and clean out the gunk. (yes, gas tank too and the diverter valve) This is a common problem.
