According to the Yamaha DragStar 1100 / V-Star 1100 (XVS1100) (1999–2009) Official Owner’s Manual Maintenance Specifications, the 1999–2009 Yamaha DragStar 1100 / V-Star 1100 (XVS1100) (chassis VP05/VP13/VP16/5EL) requires 3 L (3.17 US qt) of SAE 10W-40 (JASO MA2, API SG or higher) engine oil for a drain-only change and 3.1 L (3.28 US qt) with filter service (4X7-13440-90 / HF145). Standard solo cold tire pressure is 225 kPa / 2.25 bar / 33 PSI front (130/90-16M/C 67S) and 250 kPa / 2.50 bar / 36 PSI rear (170/80-15M/C 77S), paired with 2× NGK BPR7ES spark plug(s) and a YT14B-BS battery.
Drain only: 3 L (3.17 US qt)
R 250 kPa (2.50 bar)
Est. Range: ~298 km (185 mi)

Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
Evolving the Virago 1100’s 75-degree air-cooled V-twin with dual front discs and 85 N·m at just 2,500 rpm, cast-wheel Classic trims run tubeless tires while wire-spoke trims use tubes.
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
Like the 650, stock exhaust routing blocks the right-side HF145 filter cover (3.1 L refill of SAE 10W-40 or 20W-50 JASO MA2); also keep the YT14B-BS battery strong to protect the starter clutch.
