If it's like the '86 then you have to take the clutch cable out down low, take the whole left peg assembly off, take the crankcase off, and take off a snap ring that's at the end of the starter pinion (holding the starter clutch onto it). be careful because there will be some gears to fall out when you open up the crank case. Also there is something like 18 bolts that you have to take out to get the case off and they are different sizes so be sure to take note of which bolt is for which hole.

Is there a trick to removing a Yamaha Virago 1200 starter?

It's a real pain. I had to bend the head of a wrench to get at one of the 4 bolts holding it in. If you have the engine out, it's real easy. A lot of times the starter is the not the problem on these bikes. The starter bendix that is behind the clutch is the problem if you hear grinding when you try to use the starter.
