Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / August 2004Mystery Yamaha Engine (identify this engine please)
This is an engine I bought at a yamaha auction, with several other parts. What is it from? I think it had 2400cc on the case. http://tinypic.com/37ara http://tinypic.com/37arq http://tinypic.com/37as3 it looks too girly to be a VMAX > This is an engine I bought at a yamaha auction, with several other parts. > What is it from?

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > http://tinypic.com/37as3 Looks like a Virago of who knows what size, that'll be stamped on the engine somewhere. The 2400cc marking is very likely the oil capacity. > This is an engine I bought at a yamaha auction, with several other parts. > What is it from? I think it had 2400cc on the case. It's an older Virago 535cc... look for that number on the cylinder fins... 2400cc translates into 2.5 quarts and signals oil capacity... Larry L 94 RC45 #2 Have a wheelie NICE day... Lean & Mean it in every corner of your life... If it wasn't for us the fast lane would rust... V4'S are music to the seat of my pants... 1952 De Havilland Chipmunk...

My 82 holds 3000cc of oil and the engine doesn't look like the one in the picture. It could be a more recent 750... LittleJohn Madison, AL 04 FJR1300 82 XV920RJ doesn't look like my '95 750 > >>> 2400cc is oil capacity. Engine looks like from one of the older Virago > >>> series. Maybe even an XV920...

Why are you buying stuff when you don't know what it is?! SignatureLucretia________(...=^¬¬^=________---<, ,,'> Yamaha XJR1300SP in red Have you ever noticed? Anybody going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac. > Why are you buying stuff when you don't know what it is?! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Have you ever noticed? Anybody going slower than you is an idiot, and > anyone going faster than you is a maniac. The engine was one of the items that was included of a lot of motorcycle parts I won at an auction. Wolf If you know the engine number, I'll look in my Clymer / hanes to see if it is a virago engine. > > Why are you buying stuff when you don't know what it is?! > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Wolf So when do we find out who won? I've made room in my garage... -- Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Looks like a Virago to me.... but then... I'm not really a Yamaha fan, so who knows ;) >This is an engine I bought at a yamaha auction, with several other parts. >What is it from? I think it had 2400cc on the case.

I had one Yamaha and found that the aluminum and steel used to build it was waaaaaaaay softer than any I'd ever seen in all the Hondas I owned prior to that, and never bought another one.... >I had one Yamaha and found that the aluminum and steel used to build >it was waaaaaaaay softer than any I'd ever seen in all the Hondas I >owned prior to that, and never bought another one....
