The small Virago has its own factory manual, part number LIT-11616-XV-25, and the 1995 Virago 250 inside it is model code XV250G.
Yamaha's coverage here is unusual in shape. The listed model years run 1988 to 1990 and then 1995 to 2005, reflecting the machine's availability, and the Route 66 is documented in the same volume because it shares the platform.
For a bike this simple the manual is genuinely all you need. Valve clearance and carburetor adjustment, chain and sprocket service, front fork and rear shock work, brake overhaul, wheel bearings, and the full engine sequence with clearances and torque figures. The electrical chapter tests the charging, ignition and starting circuits against stated values and includes the complete wiring diagram.
Check the frame plate for XV250G and order LIT-11616-XV-25.
