You must be a teacher by profession. You have a perfect way of explaining things and making sure we understand the important points.
Mystery47 thanks, I have given some classes in my work over the years.
First bike, first oil change. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.
You are welcome
It may seem like an easy task but this video is very useful for someone who has no idea, thanks you a lot ;)
Thanks, safe kilometers.
Wow thanks, this is an excellent video! It's been over 10 years but this information will be relevant for many people for many years to come! Good job, kiitos!
thanks, it is good if peoples remember to change oil, bike runs longer. Happy riding with your bike.
years later and your video still helps people, me included!
You ate welcome. Good that you found it usedul. My aim was to help peoples to overcome high step for self maintenance.
I bought a 1987 Virago 535xv last month and have no mechanical skills whatsoever. This video is perfect. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in clear and concise way.
I just bought the exact same bike
@@docclock1662 congrats
Thank you very much for your clear demonstration of the Verago oil change....Boy did i need that as i am a new guy to the verago and self servicing of motorbikes...Cool...you have a very nice Verago...
Thanks for the visuals and quick no nonsense video!
Great Video. Simple easy instructions, step by step guide.
Great if it helps. Drive safely.
Thank you. I just got mine Virago 535 a few days ago and this will be very helpful!
Thank You!! My book show something altogether different.. I am very glad you post this did not want to pop a cover an need a new gasket again thanks
Kiitos, Thank's exellent instruction I changed oil and filter for my firs time and it was easy to follow your instructions. 535/2003
+Lennart Alm Tack, you are welcome.
Thank you so much!!!! I needed to change my oil so bad! Greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Jarmo! It was very helpful.
Thank you. This really made it easy for me.
Cheers
good morning yep been looking all over, I particularly wanted hard cases again as I have givi cases already. I use Fehling on my XV250 but it's for soft/leather only . ok thank you. be safe out there , I bought my first 535 1991 just serviced her all the way. Thanks for advice and your videos they were a great help.
Thanks!
Regards from Poland!
PS: Good routes to you also!! We have a bit limited driving time here in north. Convinient in summer only :-)
Very good video Jarmo! Clear, useful, precise. Thank you very much, greetings from Italy.
+alegdansk You are welcome. I'm glad if you found it useful. Just changed new battery to my Virago, driving season is approaching. Some snow on the ground, but road tarmac is free of ice ... except early morning after freezing night. Just returned from Germany last friday and jealously looked German motor bikers there as their season is much ahead ours.
very informative, i've just bought a 2nd hand virago and this video really helps. Thank you for the tips! i hope you'll continue making videos for some other things too! cheers..
This is really helpful. I have a Virago 400 which is very identical to the 535. My first oil change is drawing near and this helped. Also, sub'd :)
Good instruction for someone new to a Virago, even the oil capacity, well made video.
Great video man, thank you for this great tutorial !
Really appreciate your assistance
Very helpful to see rather than reading. Thank you
Thanks, Jarmo!
You helped me much.
Regards from southern Brazil.
Edson Lopes Hola, you are welcome.
I had my 96 virago for a month. First bike. Loved her. Bright red perfect condition. Then this Friday the 13th 2017 she was totaled. I was very comfortable on the bike. I got hit by a minivan. Lady carried full fault. I was going 30mph.
Liam Czarnecki Sorry to hear, If there is something good in this accident, it is that you are here to tell it. Metal and plastic can be repaired or replaced. Hope you can find new Virago in same or even better condition an have enjoyable miles with it.
LUCKY YOUR OK bet she used the same old excuse I never saw you /because they dont look .
Thanks man! Perfect Video 🙏
Thanks , made changing the oil much faster
Kiitos Jarmolle hienoista huoltovideoista🙏 Toissapäivänä ostettuun -97 535 Viragoon saatu vaihdettua kaikki öljyt ja suodattimet sekä tulpat ☀️😀 Videoista oli todella paljon apua🙏 Näitä videoita vain sit lisää muihinkin säätöä ja huoltoa vaativiin kohteisiin 🤗 Kiitos 🙏
Hieno juttu, mukavia ajokilometrejä Viragon kanssa.
Kiitos. Tämän mukaan hommat onnistui... 👌👍
Markku Inkeroinen hyvä juttu, turvallisia kilometrejä.
You are an excellent teacher Sir. Thank you so much, your instruction has helped us immensely.
Late reply from my side. You are welcome, hope you have enjoyed driving your bike ... if you still have it :-)
Very helpful video. Got my first bike and very excited to start learning more
Hi, funny thing, your comment appear to be placed 4 days ago, got notification of that. When I come to comment i see that I have replies 7 years ago .. strange. Anyway I hope you have still your bike and you have enjoyed it. Haven't done any video lately, but I will do when spring comes in :-)
seems very easy, thankyou, i will try this tomorrow! ;)
so, first time I did the change, so easy to know by you how to do, thank you
You are welcome, I’m happy if that helped.
I’m excited to do this!
Hi Jorge, good luck. Actually no luck needed its pretty straightforward :-)
Comprei uma virago 535 e teu vídeo me ajudou a fazer a troca do óleo, obrigado, sou da cidade de Manaus Brasil
You are welcome, I'm happy it has helped you. We have -16 degrees Celsius this morning and 2 cm of snow on the ground, so driving seoason is over here :-(
De nada, fico feliz que tenha ajudado você. Temos -16 graus Celsius esta manhã e 2 cm de neve no solo, então dirigir seoason é bem aqui :-(
Very informative indeed......good video thanks and safe riding.
Excellent help my friend, thank you greatly
Great Video...many thanks!
Just what I needed... Thanks! :-)
Samos12 you are welcome
i AM LOOKING AT ONE AND APPRECIATE THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION.. tHANK YOU sIR!
THANKYOU FOR THE FINE PRESENTATION
Saori Hamajima thanks Saori
You are wlcome, have great rides with your Virago,
Thanks man, very useful! Also love that finnish accent! Cheers from the Czech Republic :)
Hi Ondrej, you are welcome. Right, finnish accent is easy to recognize, we have pretty strong R-letter too.
@@jarmojarvinen1585 Yeah, the r is great :-)
By the way a friend of mine told me, that together with the filter also the bolt washer should be changed. Would you happen to know anything about that?
This was super helpful. Thank you, good sir.
You are welcome, drive safely.
You are welcome. By doing easier repairs yourself you start to learn your bike and small obstacles later are easier to handle. Also you save some time & money.
Thank you. I have a XV400 400cc Virago imported from Japan. Similar to the XV535.
Very informative video - thank you mate
You are welcome. Enjoy your bike.
Paljon kiitoksia, tämä on erittäin hyödyllinen :)
Thanks!
Thks man its a really clear video
olivier gendron Good if it has helped. Have a nice riding season.
Very informative. Thanks for the help
That was the aim:-) You are welcome.
Thanks. Never knew this bike use oil filter.
Right it does, but dont be surprised if you find one more. There is one casette type on left lower side, access needs more work and not cleaned at every oil change, pretty hidden.
@@jarmojarvinen1585 What!! Another one? Tell more that I don't know. Haha
Hi, see th-cam.com/video/_22tVBjxofQ/w-d-xo.html at 23-25 seconds. There is brown long cassette going into square hole. That cassette is filter actually.
Usted es bienvenido y gracias por tu comentario. Las cosas son a menudo más sencillo de lo que uno está pensando. Al hacer las cosas ustedes mismos a aprender más sobre su bicicleta y si llegas a tener problemas con los que se pueden resolver por sí mismo. Traducido con google.
absolutely perfect video. straight to the point. I agree with @STBRetired1 Gotta be teacher.
Thanks
very helpful, thank you
Hi.You are talking about drain plug or fill cap ? Have you tried cold spray for drain plug ? Spray it to plug it may help and use good wrench to open it.
Very good!
Good job!
Thanks, enjoy your bike this summer.
Kiitos ohjeista 😊 Terveisin entinen mopotyttö, nyt jo yli 50 v. Virago 535 vuodelta -93 toimii taas kuin unelma
Hyvä jos niistä on apua. Turvallisia ajoja kesälle.
Good and real specific video thanks
Jesus Ramirez you are welcome, greetings from finland
Thank you.
Hi
I would replace spark plugs to owners manual recommeded ones, check
ignition timing,
Ignition circuit cable/contacts checking .. and ...are valve clearances
OK.
Do others have better ideas?
great show and well visible. Tnx
You are welcome
3.2 LITERS FOR RE FILLING GREAT VIDEO THANKS.
My manual says 2.8 liters for oil change with oilfilter change
Thank you so much :)
You are welcome. Enjoy your bike, safe kilometers.
Super!! Vielen Dank!!
Bitte
👍😊
My oil drain plug is rusted and the bolt is almost smoothed round. When I get it out I'll have to replace it but I'm having trouble finding the part number. Can you help me out?
god film .. well done
tengo una duda, vivo en portugal y el aceite que recomiendan es el 20w40 (pero como ya no existe es el 20w50) como es posible usar un aceite tan fino? gracias.
Very good video.
You are welcome, enjoy your bike.
Excellent Instructional videos! Do you have a video on how to adjust the carbs?
+bigpiglights Not yet ...
Brilliant thanks
James Wadley you are welcome
thanks! :))
THANKS my friend - Obrigado pelas informaçoes foi muio util o seu video Jarmo
You are welcome
You are welcome.
Be warned, idk if its just mine or all the viragos. i have an 87 virago 700 that needed the carbs cleaned and since they leaked for so long the gas leaked into the oil pan and now iv got a bigger problem iv got to replace the oil filter n clean all the gas out and put new oil in it but cant afford it right now.
Usted tiene el derecho de utilizar el rango de temperatura del aceite recomendada de 0-45 grados centígrados es 20W40/15W40. Es un aceite de motor de viscosidad SAE, indicando el invierno (20W), y en la clasificación de verano (40). La calificación se hace en la viscosidad del aceite, o rigidez de la base de la exclusión de todas las demás propiedades. Me propongo seguir los fabricantes de motores recpommendations.
What year is your Virago? Also, I have watched all of your videos and they have given me the confidence to do my own maintenance. THANK YOU!
+holly heilig Hi it is year 2000 with 24000km, not much.
very cool vid. l will try to do it over weekend. what year is your virago from? do all viragos tak esame oil 20w50?
I would say yes. You may consider lower viscosity for cold weather (like 10W40) if you drive in 0...5 degrees conditions (talking abt celsius scale).
Great video just finished my oil change on my 96 virago 535. What would be great if a full carb cleaning was explained!
... also where would I find the fuil filter on my virago? thanks again
great video, thank you. May I ask about your planner rack, I want to do the same but can't find them . Please help.
Hi, brand is GIVI (made in Italy).
Thanks, for tha video
Artem Savchenko youbare welcome
very nice
Don't know if you still around 2012- but my bike seems to have the oil window closed up (removed) just a black plug in its slot from where the location of your unit is; any suggestions on how to check the oil levels with out the oil window?
Hi, good question. Drain it an refill 🙂
Honestly hard to say as there is no dip stick to check oil level.
Right, still around 🙂
Hyvä, Kiitos!
(That’s about all i know in Finnish, but I mean it! )
You did very well in finnish. Ole hyvä! (That mean You are welcome).
Excuse me Jarmo, how much did you give for your virago? The condition looks extremely good, my xv 90' is lacking chromium and a lot of screws and plugs are difficult to get off, i still love it though!
Love the videos, please make more!
+johanlob Hi Johan. There is about 26000 km in the meter and it is 2000 model. Not huge amount of km. I see some beginning rust on area where front wheel throws water & dirt, need to clean this summer. Normally I try to wipe specially those areas with oily cloth for winter storage but forgot it last year.
I see, that sounds good and your bike is really mint with all the chromium left it seems!
I was just wondering since I just bought my bike and changed the engine oil & filter, break pads, air filter and the spark plugs.
A lot of fun since this is my first real bike.
I was just going to ask you since I haven't really found the answer but the capacity of the engine oil is 2.8L and I think I filled it with exactly that amount; 2.8L.
My friend said afterwards that it might not be good to fill the tank with the full capacity since it can be detrimental to the bike (foaming or something like that) if it's full. I looked into the little glass window and it has a small air bubble in the top, maybe 2-3mm. Do you think i should take some oil out or is it fine?
Also, is the final gear oil as important as the regular engine oil change?
Sorry for the long post!
Cheers and please make more vids! haha
+johanlob Hi
I would fill to the area near middle or slightly higher of sight window, but not below. Remember bike must be level on both directions. It is correct do not overfill, keep the oil level in window. Oil foam may cause heat/lubrication issues. There are moving parts around so I suppose oil is not completely bubble free at surface.
Great input, I leveled everything out so the window is perfectly half full.
thank for that video, i have a question do you still use it?
Hi, my Virago still running strong :-) Yes I use it.
I have put oil in. But when l lift the bike the window with oil goes empty! I have put 2.8litres in. I dont know if l did something wrong? When the bike is standing on a side the oil shows ok. When l make it straight / it disappears. Is that ok? Thank you!
Hi
Sorry to be late, I suppose you have discovered that a bit more oil is needed to keep it in the window when bike is standing straight. Mine is fine with 2.8 liters, just changed them last weekend. I tried to find if some earlier models have different capacity but could not find in quick search.

hi so where i am its hot so i have 10w 40 in the bike and the engine gets way to hot the virago manual says 20w 40 soo thats good ?
Hi, if you live in "warm" country, eg do not run bike close to freezing point, I would use this 20W40 oil.
wow your cover is really shiny! what did you do?
Just clean it often :-) Gently.
Good morning from UK, I know it's a Givi that's why I am after one but perhaps you know the model number ? Perhaps it's discontinued? As I've been looking everywhere for them.
Good morning from finland.
Yes that is possible they are discontinued. Fehling is doing frames/racks for Givi panniers have you beem looking those..
If that cant help maybe some metal shop can do modifications for modell available?
Take a look of www.fehling.de/index.php?content=preise&markenid=12&lang=en
How about the size of the o ring ... as in radius or diameter and also thickness of the o ring (rubber) I need to change my oil and I can’t seem to get them cheap would like to get it made before I do it as it’s my only mode of transport any help would be appreciated 😊
whoisdeany hi, sorry I do not have any o-rings with me currently. I have just picked them up when buying filter.. they are not expensive.
@@jarmojarvinen1585 Could you let me know, from where you buy the spares (in Finland) especially the o rings?
@@utku8654 for oil filter its coming with filter. For other rings Yamaha center or just some generic supplier ( like IKH ). I quess bike shop like Storm motor and others have too.
@@jarmojarvinen1585 Thanks a lot Jarmo, i will try my chance with STORM.
Is that semi- sintetic oil ?
Semi synthetic is used.
My xv535 keep drop power then backfire and then power up again while riding but only after 30min of riding. I have no idea what wrong. Could anyone help?
Change Spark Plugs
