How do I diagnose fault with warning lights?

True designation of bike is : 1982 XV920J Virago. Bike runs OK, warning lights stay on all time, fuel gauge shows full on turning ignition on then goes down to show empty, it does not move again. Main warning light stays on all time, can not turn it off. Did have a relay problem on starter, that problem has been fixed and OK now.

Need to check the ECU for registered malfunction.You must take it to a dealer's workshop.Engine warning light means that a sensor is not working properly.

SOURCE: yamaha virago 535 turn ignition on neutral light

These are known for starter problems... The clicking you hear is the relay but the bendix is locked up put it in about 3rd gear and rock it hard forward and back. Bendix may release. Make sure battery is good. As I said before these bike are well known for their starter problem and even after having it fixed by a dealer problem seems to show back up after a very short time. Good Luck!

SOURCE: Can a voltage regulator/rectifier if not working

YES!
Good link here:
http://www.flygenring.dk/yamaha/artikler/1100ChargingSystem.pdf

Symptoms:
Lights flickering at times and/or battery gets hot to the touch

Problem:
Reglator/Rectifier

When the regulator dies, it allows as much as 19 volts to appear across the battery. This is not good. It will cook the battery and the battery could even explode. Fuse can not stand up to this!

SOURCE: Yamaha Virago 535 Fuel Pump Dead

My first question: is it ok to run the bike using only gravity fed fuel if I'm ok with a top end of only 60 mph, or am I damaging something else on the bike by doing that?
To answer your it, you fuel pumps still works and you are not doing anymore harm than possible.

**My second question: is there a way around buying the $300+ fuel pump in order to get the bike running properly again?
YES, go to a bike dismantler/wrecker who does the same tipe of bike

***My third question: WHY DOES THE FUEL PUMP COST
$300+!!?!?!??!
Well, can not answer that because I don't know....

Good enough?

Engine warning light flasches when I turn the ignition on.Fuel gauge flaches too it looks like the bike can`t see the fuel tank.
This warning light flashes or stays on if
an electrical circuit monitoring the en-
gine is not working correctly. Try downloading a manual or check a forum that covers your bike. You may be able to find a fault code that will tell you exactly what the problem is, but it may need to go to a garage for that.

Does a 2008 Harley super glide have a choke
This bike is fuel injected, therefore no manual choke. Choke or fuel enrichment in fuel injected terms is controlled by the ECM in conjunction with the engine temperature sensor. There is no 'reserve', but you will get a 'low fuel' warning light when fuel is low, same as cars.

I got a 1982 yamaha virago xv920 it won't start back up after the motor is hot
Check your switch wires are all ok ,,
Then check the carbs are getting fuel when you have the problem... then make sure your air filter its clean ,,if it is not clean replace it for a stock filter for your bike,,,as long as you have fuel and air you should be in business...

Also buy yourself a workshop manual for your bike pal i highly recommend it

You can then check your valve clearances this my also be the culprit to your issues....hope this helps

Why is my 535 virago not going on reserve tank
Apparently this is a common problem that I also have. Another website said that there is not a true reserve. This bike is designed to slow down the fuel pump when the reserve switch is on the "on" position and the fuel is low to give you the sense that you are running out of gas. My solution, reset the trip meter each time you get gas and make sure you fill up before reaching 100 miles.

1999 yamaha xv 535 when you start the bike there
I have a 94 virago that had that problem last year. First, is your starter switch releasing all the way out? Mine was sticking. Also the regulator-rectifier needed replacing, as it was no longer damping the current, which leads to surges, especially when revved. If you have a manual it will tell you how to check the current running through the bike. Replacing the regulator is cheap and easy even for me with my limited bike knowledge! Hope this helps. Charlie.

I just bought a 1982 yamaha maxim 650 and was
Change oil and, filters regularly; lube the throttle cables and, all moving parts drain the fuel tank and, replace the fuel filter every year, or; when needed. never leave fuel in the bike when you store it without using "stabil" only check your ignition with a timing light get a maintenance schedule from the bike's manufacturer and, follow it.

When I turn on the power in my Virago 2002 XV250R
motorcycle headlights stay on at all times the bike is on, kind of like running lights on a car. on some model bikes, when you first turn on the key the headlight doesn't turn on so that there is less draw from the battery so your starter can use the current your light doesn't. but once the bike is started or the start button is pushed, the headlight will remain on until you turn the key off.
