Yamaha part number LIT-12618-BR-01 is the factory service manual for the 1987 Bravo, model code BR250L. The same volume carries the rest of the Bravo production span, 1984 to 2000 and 2007 to 2011, together with the Bravo T and the Bravo LT long track.
A manual that stays current for that many seasons says something about the machine: the Bravo was built to a settled design, and the service work did not move around. The upside for an owner is that the original procedures are still the right procedures.
Chapters run from the maintenance schedule through engine and fuel system service, power train and track, chassis and suspension, brakes and steering, to electrical diagnosis and the wiring diagrams. Service limits and torque values are stated throughout rather than implied.
