2005 Yamaha VIRAGO 250 Service and Repair Manual

XV250T is the code for the final year of this generation, the 2005 Virago 250, and LIT-11616-XV-25 is the Yamaha part number for its service manual.

Because the factory kept a single volume current for the platform, the coverage reaches back a long way: 1988, 1989 and 1990, the 1995 to 1999 bikes, and 2001 through 2005, with the Route 66 in the same pages. An owner keeping a late example on the road is reading the same procedures that applied to the first ones.

The manual is organised around specifications, overhaul and diagnosis. Clearances and torque figures are tabulated, engine and chassis work is laid out step by step, and the electrical section carries the full harness diagram with the test readings to compare against. Model-specific notes identify which code a given variation belongs to.
