1985 Yamaha VIRAGO 700 Service and Repair Manual

Model code XV700N belongs to the 1985 Virago 700. Look for Yamaha part number LIT-11616-XV-11 on the service manual that covers it.

This is the combined volume for the air-cooled Virago range. Yamaha listed it against the 700, 750, 1000, 1100 and 1100 Special for model years running from 1984 all the way to 1999, keeping one book current instead of issuing a series of thinner ones. Where a specification differs between displacements or years, the tables separate them out by code.

The procedures themselves are unhurried and complete. Engine work follows assembly order with clearances noted as they arise; carburetion, ignition and charging each get diagnostic sequences tied to measured values; chassis chapters cover forks, shaft drive, brakes and wheels. Fastener torque is specified throughout, and the wiring diagrams are the full factory drawings.
