The V Star 250 has been built with remarkable continuity, and Yamaha's documentation says so: part number LIT-11616-XV-26 covers the 2006 through 2026 model years and the Virago 250 as well. The 2025 machine is code XV250S1B.
Twenty-one model years and two model names in one reference is a practical thing for a bike often bought as a first cruiser and kept for years afterwards. Whatever the year of the example you end up with, the specifications are in the same place.
Content is the factory's: maintenance intervals and adjustment figures, engine service in prescribed sequence with inspection limits, carburetion and ignition specifications, chassis, suspension and braking, and the electrical system with Yamaha wiring diagrams.
Confirm LIT-11616-XV-26 and XV250S1B against your bike.
