Yamaha Virago 250 Motorcycle - Street (1995-2007)

The Yamaha Virago 250 (1995-2007) is a classic cruiser motorcycle, widely recognized for its timeless styling and accessibility, making it an excellent choice for new riders. Throughout its production from 1995 to 2007, this model was consistently powered by a reliable air-cooled, 249cc, 60-degree SOHC V-twin engine. Fuel delivery was managed by a 26mm Mikuni carburetor, ensuring consistent performance. A key characteristic of the Virago 250 during these years is its remarkable consistency. There were no significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes between 1995 and 2007. The motorcycle was primarily offered as a single model, often identified as the XV250 Virago or XV250S Virago. The "S" designation typically indicated minor cosmetic updates, such as color variations, rather than distinct trim levels with performance differences. The core design and specifications remained largely unchanged, providing a stable platform for riders. The Virago 250 was eventually succeeded by the Yamaha V-Star 250 in 2008, which maintained very similar specifications. Q: How do I ensure I select the correct parts for my Yamaha Virago 250?
