Model code XVS650K belongs to the 1998 V Star Custom, the year the model line started. Yamaha's service manual for it is LIT-11616-XV-00, and the same book runs to 2000 while also documenting the V Star Classic.
The Custom and the Classic share their engine, shaft drive and electrics, so the factory saw no reason to print two manuals. Where the chassis differs, the text and illustrations identify which model they belong to.
The book is organised the way a technician works. General information first, then specifications with torque figures and wear limits, then periodic maintenance, then the engine taken down and rebuilt in sequence. Carburetion, chassis and electrical systems follow, the last with test values and the full wiring diagrams.
Fitment comes down to two numbers: XVS650K stamped on the frame, LIT-11616-XV-00 on the manual.
