    Does anyone know where I can find help with problems on a 83 virago 920? The thing pops out of the exhaust then seems like it is going to stall I pull in the clutch and rev it a few times and it is fine for about another mile.I had it to 2 bike shops the first shop said its a wireing or charging issue but its charging at 13.5volts. The other shop said that the carbs need to be rebuilt but the first shop cleaned them and said everything was fine.Any help would be great.Thanks in advance.

    You should have gone to the second shop the first time. The problem you describe is carburetor.

    You might have a charging system problem (13.5 is a bit low) but that's not why it backfires and stalls.
