A new book arrived for the later sleds: LIT-12618-PZ-52, which is the Yamaha service manual for the 2011 Venture Lite, model code PZ50VTAW.
It covers 2011, 2012 and 2013, and Yamaha wrote the Phazer and the Venture into it as well. Procedures are therefore often shared, with the differences flagged against the model code, so the code on your tunnel plate is the key to reading the tables correctly.
The work is documented in factory order. Maintenance schedules come first, then the engine with its disassembly sequence, measurement points and wear limits, then fuel injection and cooling, then the drive system through clutch, chaincase and track. Suspension and chassis follow, and the electrical chapter finishes with wiring diagrams and the resistance and voltage figures needed to test rather than guess.
