TheFlame666 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Alright, my name is Guilherme Terceiro, I'm from Brazil and few days ago I received a strange kind of XV 535 VIRAGO. Here in Brazil, Yamaha starts to import bikes on 1994, but my crazy uncle, he imported one by himself, he always said that was a USA 1992 importation. Now he dies, and give the bike to me. Holy God, this bike is a canon on the roads as a Cat in the town. This XV535 (Virago) Don't have a fuel tank on top, just a cover for the air filter... But, I'm trying to look any kind like this, and i think don't exist. Later I'll send a picture for you!! And thanks a lot, to create and keep a forum like this online!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacha Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 welcome aboard! Seems I've read the XV535 has a fuel tank under the seat that the top one feeds into. Did a Google search and came up with 13.50 liters or 3.57 gallons fuel capacity (if it's the same bike). Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlame666 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hello! Good Morning! Thank's Rev, for the greetings, and all of u! But, I still trying to find out any info, about this kind of 535 bike. It's strange because in the regular ones, on the chromes besides, we can find the Air filter on the right side and the Carburetor breathing on the left side. But in this one that I've on the right side, we find a Fuse box, and the air filter for the carburetor is located under the "FAKE TANK" it's more lika a small cover for the Air Filter. I'm really confuse about this bike. So please, if someone of you, know os see something about it. Please let me know. Last time that i put gas on it, the capacity of the under seat tank is 8,5 Liters and its making like 16 KM/L, in the city. Thank's again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the folks at Virago help forum have seen your model. ?? Edit- I just came across this page https://yamahaclub.com/forums/topic/33407-new-member-from-alberta/#comment-187920 and it doesn't look like his model has a filler cap on the upper tank... so maybe it's a fake one like yours? 1987 model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlame666 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hi! Yes Sacha, is the same model as mine. I found a site from UK. that they make a vin report, I try to pay with my citibank card, and now i'm waiting for confirmation. But I got the info, thats mine is a 1992 Virago, made in JAPAN and export to USA. But its not enough, if I can, I'll try to find all the information about this model, why they was produced without a fuel tank. How long the production of this model take. What market they was sold. Rsrsrsr Ok, I know that I've some mind trouble, but I love to know the history behind the things, I need to know how much I can. It's the same with my CHevy Opala 1975 - Brazilian style, It's a mix of Chevy Impala and Nova. Now I know how it work, I know the history behind its production, I know how to repair the engine, brakes, everything. Thanks too much for the Help! See Ya! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Pre 1990 535 Viragos only had the small Fuel tank under the seat, the later ones had the larger tank.
