This is an engine I bought at a yamaha auction, with several other parts. What is it from? I think it had 2400cc on the case. http://tinypic.com/37ara http://tinypic.com/37arq http://tinypic.com/37as3 >> Stay informed about: Mystery Yamaha Engine (identify this engine please)

It's an older Virago 535cc... look for that number on the cylinder fins... 2400cc translates into 2.5 quarts and signals oil capacity... Larry L 94 RC45 #2 Have a wheelie NICE day...

The 2400cc marking is very likely the oil capacity.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Mystery Yamaha Engine (identify this engine please)

My 82 holds 3000cc of oil and the engine doesn't look like the one in the picture. It could be a more recent 750...

If you know the engine number, I'll look in my Clymer / hanes to see if it is a virago engine.
