1983 Yamaha VIRAGO 920 Service and Repair Manual

XV920K, 1983

Yamaha's shop manual for the 1983 Virago 920 is LIT-11616-XV-91, and the bike itself carries the model code XV920K. Both are worth checking before you order, since the 920 was not a long-running model and its literature is specific to it.

The volume covers the 1982 and 1983 machines. That is the whole of its scope, which means the specifications are the original ones: valve clearances, timing figures, carburetor settings, service limits and fastener torque for the parts as built.

Chapters run in the usual order, from specification tables and maintenance intervals through engine and driveline teardown to chassis work and electrical diagnosis, the last supported by the complete factory harness diagram. It is written for someone doing the work, with the measurements a repair is verified against rather than a description of how the bike operates.
