Part number LIT-12618-VM-T1 covers the 1998 V Max 600 XTR (Elec. Start + Reverse), which Yamaha built as VX600XTRB.
Four seasons share this manual, 1998 to 2001, along with the V Max 500 Deluxe (Elec. Start), 500 XTR (Elec. Start + Reverse), 600 SX, 600 SXS (OHLINS Shocks), 600 XTC Deluxe (Elec. Start), V Max 700, 700 SXS (OHLINS Shocks), 700 XT, 700 XTC, 700 XTC Deluxe (Elec. Start), 700 XTCP (Plastic Ski, 1.5 Track) and VENTURE 700.
Check the code first, then read the section; where Yamaha changed a specification between models or years, the page says which one it belongs to. Engine, carburetion, power train, suspension, chassis and electrical work are all included with the factory figures. On a sled of this age the harness diagrams alone justify keeping the factory book.
