Yamaha Virago 250 oil change

[tina Metcalf]

:confused: Hi there I want to do an oil change ,I have the filter and oil but the drain plug is under the frame how do I get it out to drain the oil without dismantling the bike to do so. Please! Girl biker. Have undone drain plug but the frame won't let it come undone properly. THANKS GUY"S I was looking at the wrong plug!!! the jappers fooled me I was looking at a 19mm nut, when I went to take pictures I found the 17mm nut and hey it worked the oil change is completed.

I managed to find an owner's manual for that bike (I ride the same) but unfortunately it was in Portugese. Or perhaps Spanish? Something like that, anyway. It has pictures though, so if you're keen to see if that helps, I'll send you the download link.

Anyway, replying so I'm subscribed to this as well. It'll be useful to know! (Boy biker!)

would be greatly appreciated. I can get the plug undone but it won't come past the frame to let the oil drain out. Thanks girl biker

Have a looksie at the site from this link (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1689715&postcount=11). The Virago 250 manual there is in a foreign language, but I've used Babelfish to translate parts of it.
