More than likely 10W-40 but it's best to check with the manufacturer. I recommend a synthetic specially formulated for motorcycle wet clutch applications.
The recommended amount of fork oil for Virago 535 front forks is typically around 390-410 ml per fork leg, depending on the specific year and model. It is best to consult the owner's manual or a service manual for the exact amount recommended for your specific bike.
For a Yamaha Virago 535 front fork system, it’s generally recommended to use 10W fork oil. However, you should always check the owner's manual or service manual for specific recommendations, as oil viscosity can depend on your riding style, weight, and local conditions. Additionally, consider using a high-quality synthetic fork oil for better performance and longevity.
with changing the filter: 3.3 quarts without filter change: 3.2 quarts
Yamaha Viraho 750 holds cca 2 dcl of gear oil. I think it will be about the same.
Hi there. The Haynes Manual specifies 3.0 Litres, or 3.1 if you're doing a oil filter change. :) Moog
The Yamaha Virago 535 has a circular window on the front left side of the crankcase, immediately behind the shift linkage. The bike needs to be held upright (second person) and then the use of a flashlight helps see the level in the window. Level should be approximately center of the window.
15w 40 is recommended for this size engine. 10w 40 will suffice if no 15w is available.
According to the manual, the recommended weight is 5w30. I do not know if there is a recommended brand or not.
For a 1997 Yamaha Virago 1100, the best weight oil is typically 10W-40, which provides optimal performance across a range of temperatures. It's important to use a high-quality motorcycle-specific oil to ensure proper lubrication and engine protection. Always check the owner's manual for any specific recommendations or requirements.
The recommended oil is SAE 5W-20
There is a coin-sized round inspection window on the engine block cover, shifter-side, front-bottom, that looks gear-shaped when empty, dark when full with oil. Level should be between the min and max markers, when the oil is warm, and the bike is UPRIGHT.
In the engine block, on the forward end of the break-pedal side, behind a smaller cover (flush with the rest of the block cover), that is held in place by three hex head bolts.
