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.  As the bike heats up, the point where it gets
power drops, until the point where its more like a hesitation when you open
the throttle.
 
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.
