Best Answer

The XV1000 uses a low pressure (3 psi) diaphragm fuel pump that "burps" short gulps of fuel to the carb float bowls. It is only needed to lift the fuel from the lower tank to the float level.

You can actually run WITHOUT a fuel pump, but ONLY if the top tank is completely full. As you use fuel the pressure changes and float levels vary, so eventually the bike doesn't run well. And after the fuel level is down an inch or two, it will hardly run.

If you elect to use a cheaper non-factory generic fuel pump, make sure it does not push more than 5 psi or it will overpower the float needles and push them off the seats, causing flooding.

What is theGas octane requirements for 1996 Yamaha virago?

Having owned a 535 virago for over a year now , I have determined that it runs best on the 91 octane , which in all gas stations is the premium fuel . Any octane rating under that was not burning well at all , which leads to carbon build up in the engine , as well as sub standard performance .
