On a 1986 Yamaha Virago 1100, the fuse box is typically located under the seat. To access it, you will need to remove the seat by unscrewing the bolts that hold it in place. Once the seat is removed, the fuse box can be found near the battery, usually covered by a protective cover. Always consult the owner's manual for specific details and diagrams.

The fuse panel on the Virago is under the instrument light cluster that surrounds the ignition switch where the neutral indicator light is located.
Well u gotta do regular service and tunings as well as overhauls if u feel loss on power use a thicker oil on your next oil change with an add of S.T.P another good way is to remove the adjusting limiter
Depends on the tempature, but I use Castrol GTX 20/w50 Racing Oil under most conditions.
Remove the false gas tank cover via the 2 Allen screws, one on each side. The air filter is underneath it.
Found a 1986 Yamaha FZ600 for sale. Going for $800.
I just broke my right hand mirror trying to get it off because I assumed it was the normal right threaded. Turns out it is left threaded. What a joke. Snapped it off for no reason whatsoever.
It appears to have the same part number. I compared a 1990 xv750 with a 1986 xv700 and they both have Yamaha part number 3CF-24730-10-00. I have an '86 xv700 so I'm always shopping for interchangeability. I use bikebandit.com or servicehonda.com for their OEM part finders. I can select my Virago and get the part number then start comparing to other models and years of the Virago. Helps a lot with searching online and on ebay for parts.
