Model code XVS650AM identifies the 2000 V Star Classic. It is the last year inside service manual LIT-11616-XV-00, which opened with the 1998 bikes and also documents the V Star Custom.
Why the shared book helps
One volume for three seasons and two models means the engine, shaft drive and electrical chapters were written once and checked against every variant. You are not guessing whether a torque value belongs to your year; the specification tables call out the codes they apply to.
Work you can do from it includes valve clearance and carburetor service, clutch replacement, top-end and crankcase overhaul, final gear inspection, fork and shock service, brake bleeding and pad renewal, and electrical diagnosis with the factory wiring diagrams.
Check your frame plate for XVS650AM, then order by LIT-11616-XV-00. Those two numbers together are enough to know the manual matches the machine in the garage.
