1985 Yamaha VENTURE ROYALE Service and Repair Manual

The 1985 Venture Royale, code XVZ1200DN, is the last year inside service manual LIT-11616-XV-13. That volume opened with the 1983 machines and covers the plain Venture alongside the Royale.

Restoration work on these tends to start with the electrics and the air suspension, and both are properly documented here, with measured test values and complete wiring diagrams rather than block descriptions. The engine chapters are equally specific: every clearance, every wear limit, every torque figure, in the sequence the motor comes apart.

You also get the periodic maintenance schedule, carburetor synchronisation and overhaul, shaft final drive inspection, brake service and fork work.

Order by part number LIT-11616-XV-13. Confirm the code XVZ1200DN on the frame first, since Yamaha changed the suffix each season within this same manual.
