I was just going to ask why they'd go with 37mm if it hurts, what's the plus? better economy? any performance benefit with the 37mm at some point? maybe from production standpoint, if everything else is running 37mm, they'd save tons not having to produce and support 40's?
hmmmm

The Virago's 40mm carbs were downsized to 37mm on the V-Star."



I remember reading that the cams were also redone for more low-end, trading
off high-end, which is consistent with the carb change.
