1998 Yamaha VIRAGO 535 Service and Repair Manual

Late-production 535s are well served by this book. The 1998 machine, code XV535K, falls under Yamaha part number LIT-11616-XV-36, the volume that spans 1987, 1988, 1990 and 1993 through 1999.

Working from it

Start with the specification tables, which establish what every measurement in the rest of the book is compared against. From there the chapters follow the machine: engine and clutch, fuel system, shaft drive, frame and suspension, brakes and wheels, then the electrical system with its complete wiring diagram.

Fastener torque appears where it is needed instead of being buried in an appendix, and service limits are given as figures rather than described in words. Where a procedure changed during the production run, the model code identifies which bikes it applies to, so a late example is serviced to its own settings.
