Early Viragos are documented separately from the later air-cooled range. For the 1982 Virago 750, model code XV750J, the correct factory number is LIT-11616-XV-90.
Yamaha's coverage for this volume is tight: 1981, 1982 and 1983, taking in the Virago models of those first seasons. A narrow scope is an advantage on an early machine, because the procedures and settings are specific to the equipment actually fitted rather than generalised across a decade of revisions.
Inside are the shop essentials. Specification and torque tables, engine and gearbox overhaul in assembly order, carburetor and ignition service, shaft drive work, chassis and brake procedures, and electrical diagnosis supported by the factory wiring diagram. For a bike of this age, having the original figures matters more than anything else, and this is where they come from.
