The 920 Virago was first introduced in 1982 as a bigger version of the [[Yamaha XV750|XV750 Virago]]. It could be had with an electronic dash that showed speed and R.P.M.'s digatally. A well known problem was the starter, which due to poor design often started slipping at low mileage. When tuned well they were very quick off the line and capable of being ridden long distances, the only real limitation being the small fuel capacity.

The '''[[Yamaha]] XV920 Virago''' was a [[V-twin]], [[four-stroke]] [[cruiser]] [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Yamaha]] between 1981 and 1983. It could reach a top speed of 105 mph (169 km/h).

==Overview==
The 920 Virago was first introduced in 1982 as a bigger version of the [[Yamaha XV750|XV750 Virago]]. It really had no competition in the US that wasn't significantly larger or smaller.  It could be had with an electronic dash that showed speed and R.P.M.'s digitally. A well known problem was the starter, which due to poor design often started slipping at low mileage. When tuned well they were very quick off the line and capable of being ridden long distances, the only real limitation being the small fuel capacity.
 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[air cooled]] v2, four-stroke. A 92.0mm [[bore]] x 69.2mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 920.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead valves (ohv). 
 
==Drive==
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet multi-plate. 
 
==Chassis==
It came with a 100/90-19 front [[tire]] and a 130/90-16 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a expanding brake (drum brake) in the rear. The front suspension was a  37mm Showa Leading Axle while the rear was equipped with a monoshock. The XV920MK was fitted with a 3.8 Gallon (14.38 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 496.04 pounds (225.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 59.84 inches (1520 mm) long.
