Here you find great Yamaha Virago 1000 / XV1000 repair instructions from Linda & Don


Linda († March 2015) and Don her widower made a superb collection of XV1000 repair manuals. She originally wrote on her site:

Here you’ll find detailed write-ups of various “motorcycle maintenance” events, including the removal and complete dissection of Arnie, my Yamaha Virago 1000 (XV1000)’s engine. The text is written by my husband Don; the hands and most of the labor are provided by me.
