1986 Yamaha VENTURE ROYALE Service and Repair Manual

1986 brought the larger Venture and with it a new factory manual, LIT-11616-XV-14. The Royale of that year is model code XVZ1300DS, and the book stays valid through 1993.

Yamaha wrote it to cover both the Venture and the Venture Royale, so the Royale's extra systems and the base bike's simpler arrangement are both described. Where a component was revised during the eight-year run, the text identifies the years and codes involved.

Practical coverage includes the maintenance schedule, valve clearance and carburetor adjustment, full engine overhaul with service limits, clutch and transmission, shaft drive, the front and rear suspension including air pressure settings, brake service, and electrical diagnosis backed by the complete diagrams.
