Subject : [Virago] Power problem
I have a 87 535 virago.  
 
I am having a problem with the bike not having much power, until it hits a
certain point, and then its like switching on a switch, and it takes off
like a bat out of Hades.  It did that last year also, and seems like it
stopped doing it after I had run it at 55mph for a while.
 
I have grounded the Voltage regulator, and made sure the carb vent tubes are
clear.  Any other ideas on what to try?  I have a bad feeling its the TCI,
and that's pricey.  
 
Sparky
