SOURCE: Yamaha Virago XV700 - 1987 Seat Removal

Most Yamaha models have 2 bolts holding the seat on, usually located between the top shock mounts and the side covers. You should be able to find them without too much trouble, but remember- they are metric. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: i need the electrical circuit,for my virago 535.

The site below shows a 535 near the end of the Yamaha listings. Number 23 and number 28 from the bottom. I didn't download to look but there is a strong chance that your wiring diagram will be there.

SOURCE: 1990 yamaha virago 535 sat two years

If it is possible to start at all. Fresh fuel fresh engine oil good battery. You may have the following problems; Corroded and blocked carburetor fuel system, bad wire connections piston ring set up.... I hope it was kept indoors and the fuel was drained out before it was left sitting. Good luck, they are nice bikes.

SOURCE: 1990 Yamaha Virago 535 Parts interchangeable with 2001 virago 250

Sure mirrors, nuts, bolts and screws. Maybe a fender and a bit of other stuff. But for the most part not much will match up and now you have this ugly monster in your garage and your next job is to figure out exactly how you are going to get rid of the da-- thing. Look a bit harder and get a match for your bike. Now you have something worthwhile.

A “very helpful” rating for this answer? Thanks!

SOURCE: how do I check the alternator on my 1987 yamaha

you want to check your stator bikes dont have altenators you can get the specific specs from your dealer and run a resitance test to see how many volts it is putting out but 9 out of ten times the stator has nothing to do with the rectifier going out expecialy with that old of a bike
