Is there a problem with my 1982 Virago?
I am restoring a 1982 XV750 Virago and had a similar problem. Pull the left horn and blinker apart. Inside there a small breakdown sometimes occurs. Its really tight but proceed carefully looking for broken wires. If wiring breaks down there it can interfere with the brake lights.
