Model code XV535UC marks the 1988 Virago 535. Repair work on it refers to Yamaha part number LIT-11616-XV-36.
One thing to understand about this manual: it is not a year-specific pamphlet. Yamaha wrote it to serve the 1987, 1988 and 1990 machines and then the 1993 to 1999 run, revising it as production continued. Anywhere the years differ, the code is named. Anywhere they do not, the procedure is shared.
The content is what a dealer service department worked from. Specifications and service limits are tabulated up front, engine and driveline overhaul is stepped out in assembly order, chassis work covers the forks, brakes and wheels, and the electrical chapter pairs a complete wiring diagram with the resistance and voltage checks used to isolate a fault. Fastener torque values appear with the procedures they belong to.
