2004 Yamaha VIRAGO 250 Service and Repair Manual

The 2004 Virago 250 was built as the XV250S. Its shop manual carries Yamaha part number LIT-11616-XV-25 and is the last word on how the factory expected the bike to be serviced.

Coverage beyond your year

Yamaha maintained one book across 1988 to 1990, 1995 to 1999 and 2001 to 2005, and included the Route 66. Owners running down a part number or wondering whether a component from another season interchanges will find that useful, because the differences between years are called out by code rather than left to guesswork.

Procedures are sequenced the way the work actually happens: what comes off first, what needs measuring while it is apart, what torque it goes back together at. Electrical diagnosis is handled with full diagrams and test values. Nothing is padded out, and nothing important is summarised away.
