Quick view on Virago 535 Yamaha XV Orange Yellow

[@nakata3479]

It's the most reliable bike ever, and it's not a girly bike.

[@PaoReno]

Hehe it is a bit ;) the engine is small for a big man. Even with me 60kg weight sometimes struggles up streep hill lol but still love it

[@factsnchill168]

@@PaoReno engine is small? Has the same HP than a 883 Harley hahaha

[@humanentity2214]

I'm a dude who rides this bike. Let's not stereotype this as a "girly" bike. It's an excellent bike for first time motorcyclists ( male or female) like me. I'm 5'10 and this bike has near perfect riding position and just enough horse power to not overwhelm a new rider. Good review nonetheless, hence the like 👍

[@Scythe_Fighter]

Absolutely, that is exactly what I thought.

[@Nelichen]

Wow the yellow/orange looks amazing! I will get my black Virago 535 today...it's my first bike and im veeery excited!

[@PaoReno]

@@Nelichen how is it? Do you like it?

[@andreasV535]

Greatings from Brazil! We love the 535 here... I ride 25~30.000 kilometers / year! Nice video!

[@etsimuller9398]

As you can read in the yamaha manual, the choke should be used only for starting. After the engine started, the choke should be half in, then after a short time it should be off.

[@ofcaa12]

I am only using choke for few minutes and then its off. Bike is too hard to control with choke on :) and yup need it in winter to start at all:)

[@bryanbond3886]

I.had one back in 1996. Brand new there good bikes

[@Reinemachefrau]

In the winter, you could buy some Waxoyl (Halfords etc) and cover the chrome parts. Once summer comes around again, rub it off with a soft cloth and your chrome will be pristine. Waxoyl also kills rust.

[@ofcaa12]

Good tip. Will do!

Hello friend. I love the color scheme on your beauty. I am a 26 y.o. dude from Bulgaria and I have considered buying a Virago myself, but I have struggled to choose either the 535 or the 750. I am going to use it primarily in the city, but I want to go on trips in the country side as well. Sooo, I don't know if I should spend the money on a 750 and be safe, or just go with a 535 and be done with it. And yes, it will be my first bike. 😁 Thanks in advance for the answer. I would love to hear your wisdom and experience riding your 535 as well. It's been 9 years after all. 😆

[@PaoReno]

@@BORISXII l love my virago. I wish it was 750 because l ride with pillion and sometimes more power means better safety in traffic. The 535 at speed of 80kmh is shaking a bit. I wish l could go faster, l can yes, but engine feels like its at maximum. Thats not great. Soooo…my answer for you is - 535 is a great solo bike. City friendly. Occasional trip out as well. How longe have you been riding ? I guess you have your full licence now?

[@michaelstanley7742]

Hi all. I would say a great step up from a 125 if you like the style and riding position.....or in fact anyone who, like me realises that a lot of bikes are pretty pointless on today's roads. You should be getting much better mileage than that, I can get 150 miles on mine easy (including reserve) also the choke is there so you don't have to wait for the bike to warm up! Knock it off (probably in two stages) as you ride. A rear shocks upgrade may improve comfort as they are pretty hard as stock but that's kind of a pay-off for a 'laid-back' style of bike. Looks like a very nice example. Happy riding.l 👍

[@SLAYER-nm5zw]

Very very good condition.I have a rebel 250 my self and love it. Also you have a nice and warm voice :) Ride safe!

[@affirca77]

Beautiful bike!, congratulations!

[@teacheralbertonavia3044]

Congratulations, I have a 250 cc, same color. It's a very good motorbike.

[@ddmytrenko]

What are you doing with your bike? How can it take 12 litres for 60 miles? LOL! (It has 13.5L tank BTW). I'm doing around 115 miles in the city and more than 170 miles in mixed conditions per tank. The bike also has a "fuel indicator", but a special one - mechanical. It starts turning the power off until you switch the trigger from FUEL to RES (so, the bike is sure that you know about the fact that you are going to have your tank empty). It happens at the moment when you have around 3.5L of fuel left in a bottom tank (yes, XV535 has two tanks). That's it ;) And I also cannot find the words to comment your speech about chocking for 10 minutes :D :D :D You are going to overflow your carbs.

[@MadsThomsen]

Thanks for the info. I'm about to buy this bike tomorrow, so that was rather useful.

[@humanentity2214]

@@MadsThomsen how's the bike coming along? I bought one of these couple of months ago.

[@MadsThomsen]

@@humanentity2214 Hi...sold it again. Too old and shaky for my taste and no ABS. Bought a new Kawa Z 650 instead.

[@australier263]

The best bike ever!!!

[@PaoReno]

l still have it !

[@sanyoku.7616]

smart lady with a nice bike!!!

[@SuperLiliferreira]

I have a question. I also have a Virago 535 2000 and the fuel pump does a noise (injecting the fuel). Is it normal? I noticed yours does not.

[@ofcaa12]

Eliane de Oliveira Ferreira my fuel pump makes noise too on a cold day and when bike was not used for some time :)

[@deepfishfryerpagel8656]

Yes... it's normal for the fuel pump to load up (rattle sound) when you turn the key on. It is loading fuel into the line. Wait for it to stop and you are good to go.

[@alfonsocienfuegos258]

Muy bonita Moto saludos

[@kevinruddy448]

Made for English Real men 💪😁, pancho, we go for the big piss up 🇬🇧😎😜to Spain 🇪🇸🤪👍

[@michaelsharkey859]

Why don’t you adjust your tick over you don’t need to choke so much your going to need a chimney sweep

[@Reinemachefrau]

Jealous. Always wanted one of these but they are getting so hard to find now. The colour works for me. Bikes don't always have to be black!

[@ofcaa12]

Hard to find virago in good condition agree!

[@PrunaDaniel]

Hey, how much cost the bike ? And also how did you the transport the bike from US to London, and the price you paid.

[@joseyamidgomezatehortua5994]

Hola amiga Saludos desde Colombia Tu moto está muy linda podrías hacer más vídeos de ese tipo de moto como haciéndole algún tipo de mantenimiento Y cuando la moto esté en funcionamiento Soy fanático de ese tipo de motos Habrazos

[@PaoReno]

Jose Yamid Gomez Atehortua ? Sorry l don’t understand 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@ch3vxxv3hc54]

One bag looks kind of weird though :D

[@PaoReno]

yup l have two now heheh

[@ch3vxxv3hc54]

Awsome that you still have it :)@@PaoReno

[@paulastreet4557]

How long does anyone think I'll take to get used to this after riding 125vfor years?

[@PaoReno]

This virago is super balanced. Its much safer than 125cc because its more powerful. Its really easy to ride. You will get used to it in a week of riding l would say!

[@ryderDoO]

Lovely bike!

[@australier263]

Hey, it is a Custom Yamaha Bike like the early Harleys! Take the daily km additor and with about 160km refuel it! You'll never get wrong! Best easy Bike ever! 😅😂🤣

[@joisva5]

классный аппарат.

[@PaoReno]

+Саша Васильев спасибо

[@aceofspades02]

A "very girly bike"? Ha! That would be awesome to have a coffee and a clever conversation with thee, just because of that statement! (Here in Brazil, I am suffocated by the mentality of "125 scooters are very girly bikes"; this is the common sense here) #YamahaViragoForever

[@PaoReno]

hehe ;)

[@UnrestingSpirit]

Get a silvertail exhaust, sounds great

[@POLEZINA]

Cam to Macedonia end we can ride together.

[@NeilskiMcF]

your tank bag is on the wrong side that's why its hitting your exhaust

[@PaoReno]

It was an old bag. Long gone now. Bought new ones for both sides :)

[@nopy99]

"manky"... lol.... London vocabulary hehe

Wonderful bike!
