In 2005 the Tour Deluxe moved to a new manual, LIT-11616-RY-L0, and the bike for that year is model code XVZ13CTT.
If you have the older VZ-01 book, this is not it. The RY-L0 volume covers 2005 through 2009 and includes the Royal Star Midnight Tour Deluxe and the Royal Star Tour Deluxe S, so the part number is the reliable way to tell which generation you are buying for.
Content is factory issue throughout. Procedures are set out in the order the work should be done, inspections come with the clearances and service limits that decide replacement, fasteners carry torque figures, and the electrical chapters include the wiring diagrams needed to follow a circuit properly. Troubleshooting begins at the symptom.
Check XVZ13CTT against the code on your frame, then work from the numbers rather than from what looked right on an earlier bike.
