Yamaha XV500 Virago parts for maintenance and repair
Yamaha’s 1983 model preview identifies the XV500 Virago as a shaft-driven V-twin. For service, keep the muffler-joint and exhaust-port gaskets separate because they serve different locations; the fork seals have a narrower year application.
Carburetor bowl gasket
The float-bowl gasket covers XV500 models for 1983–1985. Match the carburetor body and model year to your motorcycle before ordering.
Front-fork oil seals
The fork-seal set covers 1983–1985 XV500 models and measures 36 × 48 × 8/9.5 mm. Compare the old seals if another fork assembly has been fitted.
Exhaust-joint and port gaskets
The muffler joint gasket measures 38.5 × 32.5 × 30 mm and covers 1983–1987. The separate exhaust-port gasket is sold individually and lists 1983.
Choosing parts for your Yamaha XV500
Use XV500 and year together: Virago model names can look similar across engine sizes. Choose an XV500 part only when its own application matches your motorcycle and model year.
Measure the fork seals: The seal set is 36 × 48 × 8/9.5 mm. If the forks have been replaced or rebuilt with different components, compare the removed seals and the fitted fork before ordering.
Separate the exhaust joints: The muffler joint gasket and exhaust-port gasket serve different joints and have different year coverage. Choose the gasket for the location you are servicing.
