2000 Yamaha VENTURE 500 Service and Repair Manual

VT500D is the model code on the 2000 Venture 500, and LIT-12618-SM-00 is the Yamaha service manual written to cover it.

One book, five model years. Yamaha assigned 1997 through 2001 to this volume along with seventeen other sleds, so the SX 500R, SX 600R and SX 700R, the V Max 500 and 600 families in their electric-start, reverse and Deluxe forms, the V Max 700 and 700 SX, and the Venture 600 all appear in the same pages as your machine.

The chapters follow factory order: routine maintenance intervals, engine teardown with the measurements that decide whether a part is reusable, fuel and lubrication, the drive system from primary clutch to track, then chassis and suspension. Electrical work is supported by complete wiring diagrams. Read your code off the frame before trusting any single specification line, since several of them are code-specific.
