More Maintenance To Come

I am on the 535 most of the time. I have become very comfortable with the bike. But after replacing the ignition switch, the carburator was giving me a problem.

Send it to the same mechanic. Get the carburator serviced and both main jet was replaced. But the mechanic was having a hard time tuning it until both spark plug was replaced.

I rode it to Gunung Ledang after that (1st May 2010). It was a very nice ride. Only 4 bikes.

Now I spent a lot of time with the Virago, but the rear wheel connector teeth (at the hub) has started to worn off. A brand new will cost me a fortune, a second hand (the whole hub set) will cost RM750.

I am yet to replace it because low in budget. Phewwwww.... this bike is nice to ride... but it has been giving me a lot of headache.
