From 2008 the Road Star documentation consolidated into one long-running book: Yamaha part number LIT-11616-21-68, covering 2008 right through 2014. The 2008 base machine is coded XV17AWXL.
Seven model years and several trims in a single volume, including the Road Star S, the Silverado and the Silverado S, means the specification tables carry a lot of columns. Find XV17AWXL and 2008 before you take a figure as yours.
The content is what a dealer technician used. Maintenance schedule and tune-up specifications, engine removal, cylinder head and valve train service, clutch, primary drive and transmission with torque values, fuel and ignition systems, charging and starting circuits, then the chassis: front forks, rear suspension, wheels, brake service limits and the belt final drive. Wiring diagrams and a troubleshooting section are included.
Worth confirming LIT-11616-21-68 on any listing, since the earlier Road Star books look similar but do not cover this year.
