1990 Yamaha ROUTE 66 Service and Repair Manual
For 1990 the Route 66 is coded XV250A, and the manual that covers it is Yamaha LIT-11616-XV-25.
A book with a long reach
Yamaha's coverage here runs 1988 to 1990, 1995 to 1999 and 2001 to 2005, and the Virago 250 sits alongside the Route 66 in the same pages. Little changed across those years, which is why a single volume was enough.
What is in it
- Yamaha part number LIT-11616-XV-25
- Model code XV250A for the 1990 machine
- Factory torque values, clearances and service limits
- Removal, inspection and installation in sequence
- Wiring diagrams and symptom-led fault finding
- Periodic maintenance schedule
Confirm XV250A on the frame before you start ordering against what you read. Machines of this size often pass between riding schools and first-time owners, and a bike sold as one year is sometimes carrying components from another, so the code rather than the paperwork is what settles it. The book itself is the factory reference rather than a rewritten version of it, which is why the figures in the tables can be relied on for a rebuild rather than only for a rough check.
