I've been trying to get this bike running right for quite some time. I did have it running pretty good yesterday, but today its been acting funny. The motor starts to bog down like it doesn't have enough fuel when it is either hot or when I turn the throttle. At other times, the motor will die if I don't turn the throttle.
Is the yamaha virago highway legal?
I did add an in-line fuel filter but Its not clogged. Could the filter be too restrictive for the fuel? I wouldn't think so...
Harley Hard Bags - anyone want to sell some?

What's the best way to take off the decals on my motorcyle?
Check the float level - if it's to low, the engine will starve for fuel when you open the throttle.Check the valve clearance - if they're to tight, the valves will not fully seal when closed.
Perform a cylinder "leak down" test - to see if the valves are leaking.

Your choke is stuck on. The Butterfly in the carbs needs to be open as it warms up, this sounds like your problem.Best of Luck!
Are there any Buell Motorcycle Groups in Wisconsin?
Might as well check your jets and springs too and make sure you didn't tear your diaphram when you put things back together. I would still rebuild the carbs if you haven't done that too.Buying my first motorcycle? What should I look for?
Engines don't "bog down" when they are starved for fuel, they stall. You are pumping too much fuel in so your running too rich, Adjust your choke, lube the choke cable and carb in and out with WD-40. don't worry about getting it mixed with fuel, there won't be that much in the carb. Adjust your fuel/air mixture and lastly adjust the bike to the proper idling rpm's.clean your carbs. jets check float adjustments. I had that problem and now mine runs tip top. Took me a day from start to riding
