Thanks for the video and also for sharing the story about the bell. Just bought a 1996 yamaha virago 750 and this will help me to do the services myself. Hope I can Email you for further questions. Thank you in advance
Phil, the small O ring goes into the bottom screw hole. Take the old one out then place the new one in before replacing the cover. You can see it at the very end of the oil change part one video.
As far as the bell: I have always put mine down low and near the front. Legend has it that Evil Road Spirits have been latching themselves on to motorcycles for as long as there have been bikes on the road. These Evil Road Spirits are responsible for mechanical problems and bad luck along a journey. Legend goes on to say that by attaching a small bell onto your bike, the Evil Road Spirits will become trapped inside the bell where the constant ringing drives them insane, making them lose their grip until they fall to the ground. (Ever wonder where potholes come from?) Legend also has it that the mystery of the Guardian™ Bell carries twice as much power when it is purchased by a friend or loved one and given as a gift. Show someone how much you care. Offer them defense against the Evil Road Spirits! Give a Guardian™ Bell and share the Legend of Good Luck it offers to a motorcycle and its rider!
that tab is an oil catch,its for your oil to drain into ,instead of ending up on your pipes,also,use the center stand, not the side stand when changing oil on a virago
When you were changing your oil i saw you had a bell on a key chain hannging from your under-caridge...i looked for one under my ride. I couldnt find it...SO I KICKED MY FRIENDS BIKE OVER WHEN HE WAS CHANGING HIS OIL. Bah hahahaha. Just kiding. Thanks for the upload. Very handy. Thankyou...but now if i change someone elses oil and i dont see a bell hanging there...what is it for anyway. Its an ignigma to me.
I just picked up a Virago 750 .. the manual I downloaded says to use 20w40. Damned if I can find that anywhere.... Think I'll use 10w40 too. It's what I use in my Suzuki GS1000G.

From my understanding the bell is a safety charm. Although I've always seen them on the handlebars near the clutch lever.
Where did you get your gasket kit from cant find one

What kind of oil u using? And how much goes in there?
Thx, Alain
