martiniman Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Am i right in thinking that every xv535 is shaft driven? For that matter am i right in thinking that the xvs650's are all shaft driven as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martiniman Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 yeah probably as the 250 xvs engine is a blown up xvs 125 engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Based on the Yamaha Virago 535 engine, the Dragstar cylinders were bored an additional 5 mm to 81 mm and stroked 4 mm more to 63 mm, to net a displacement of 649 cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xv535 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 All Virago's were shaft drive with the exception of the '81-'83 Euro models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 125 Viragos are usually chain-drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martiniman Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Yep thats what threw me, i have a xvs 125 and its chain driven i just presumed that lager viragos and dragstars had chains as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
