2001 Yamaha VENTURE 500 Service and Repair Manual

The last of the group, the 2001 Venture 500, wears the code VT500F and is documented in Yamaha part number LIT-12618-SM-00.

Yamaha built this manual to close out a run rather than describe a single sled: 1997 to 2001, eighteen models, from the SX 500R and its 600 and 700 siblings through the long list of V Max 500 and 600 variants to the V Max 700, V Max 700 SX and Venture 600. If you own more than one sled from those years, one book likely answers for all of them.

Inside are the factory procedures for engine overhaul with wear limits, carburetor and oil-injection service, clutch and chaincase work, track and ski maintenance, suspension adjustment, and electrical diagnosis backed by full wiring diagrams. Match VT500F to the plate on the tunnel and the specification tables will line up with your sled.
