2002 Yamaha V STAR CLASSIC Service and Repair Manual

Owners of the 2002 V Star Classic are looking for part number LIT-11616-XV-01. The code on this one is XVS650AP.

That book spans 2001 to 2005 and was written to serve the Silverado as well as the Classic, which is why the touring hardware appears in the chassis chapter even though your bike may not have it. Ignore what does not apply and the rest reads as a straight shop manual for your machine.

Typical jobs it covers

• Valve clearance, carburetor synchronisation and idle setting
• Clutch, shift mechanism and transmission repair
• Cylinder, piston and crankshaft measurement against service limits
• Shaft drive and final gear inspection
• Charging, starting and ignition diagnosis with wiring diagrams

The combination of LIT-11616-XV-01 and XVS650AP is what confirms fitment, so check the frame plate rather than going by the year alone.
