Motorcycle specifications Yamaha535 VIRAGO 1999 Custom à ses heures
in Yamaha's custom family, the 535 has more of a utilitarian vocation, without denying its original spirit. It's true that its looks are very flattering, with its muscular engine, contained size and pocket-sized fuel tank. Particularly at ease in town thanks to its superior handling and low seat height, the Virago can venture out on the open road, provided you ride quietly. Autonomy is very limited, and comfort - which is acceptable - is typically custom: it's best to avoid the bumps. The twin isn't a Superbike model, as you'd expect, but its 42hp make it lively and responsive. Braking is adequate for this machine and its application. The cardan shaft, the machine's strong point, is very discreet in use - and much easier to maintain than a conventional chain. Without being a model of its kind, the 535 is a pleasant custom bike, more suited to the city than the great outdoors, although it can occasionally take you for a ride.

between the 1988 and 1992 models Rating : 1/5 Respond to aclopin
Main difference 1988 - 1995:
* 1988 8-liter tank
* 1995 13.5-liter reserve (in 2 connected tanks, one 8-liter and one 5.5-liter)
I use 95 (E10) octane petrol on the freeway, and 98 octane (E5) in town.
My front tire (formerly Continental, now Dunlop) is 1.5x wider than the original (the front mudguard had to be slightly deformed to fit).
Pare brise (alas manufactured far away, but distributed from Germany, and easily ordered and obtained on ebay.fr) Heavy Duty (or mine, Dakota model of the same brand: very large but I love it)

My satisfaction rating for the bike: 8/10.
Two faults:
- don't like bumpy roads or rough bumps.
- if you brake too hard on the rear, it chases easily.
Two more minor faults:
- big headlights too weak, and brake lights sometimes "unseen" by following cars
- passenger comfort is average (bumps in the road are painful)
Once a year, I make a 2 x 950km trip (1 week apart), refueling (and therefore taking a useful break) every 140 or 150km. No problems whatsoever. Very good pick-up, robust engine.
Fuel consumption over 100km:
- freeway at 115 or 120: 5.5L
- highway at 130: 6.5 to 7L
- city: 6.5L

I am looking for the rear rim offset (distance between one of the hub edges and the middle of the rim)
Thank you for your help Rating : 5/5 Respond to Fabien
As indicated in the motorcycle data sheet, the model has evolved very little over the years. So yes, it seems to me that the CDI box is the same.
However, I would advise you to contact a Yamaha dealer. To be sure.
Have a nice trip. Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation
