If you are working on a 1999 V Star Custom, the code to quote is XVS650L and the manual to order is LIT-11616-XV-00.
Yamaha produced that one volume for the 1998 through 2000 bikes and included the V Star Classic in it. The shared coverage is a practical advantage: torque values, clearances and electrical test figures were verified across both models and three model years, and the specification tables say which code each figure belongs to.
Content is the standard factory arrangement. You get the maintenance schedule and the procedures behind each item, carburetor and fuel service, valve clearance adjustment, engine removal and complete teardown with measurements, clutch and gearbox repair, final gear work, brake and suspension overhaul, and electrical diagnosis with diagrams.
Read the frame plate before ordering. A 1999 Custom should show XVS650L.
