Subject: Re: [Virago] oil change question

> Sounds like your bike has "Forward Controls", in other words the stock
foot pegs and foot controls have been replaced with a set that moves the
foot rest position "Forward". My bike has forward controls and to change the
oil filter I need to drop the assembly. By this I mean that I loosen the
rear mounting bolt, but do not remove it. Remove the nut that holds the
forward end of the assembly and let the whole assembly rest on the ground
while I remove the oil filter housing.

access to any schematics, try here:

> Follow the links as if you were going to buy an oil filter from them and
the system will lead you to an exploded view of the oil filter cap and the
filter. If you place your mouse on the image and do a right mouse click it
will allow you to save the image and then you can print it to study it
better if you need to.
> Be sure to make specific note of the small O-Rings in the assembly and
their locations. The most common oil leak on a Virago that I can think of is
when these little critters don't get the attention that they so desire.
