2009-2014 Yamaha XVS950 V Star 950 and Tourer Service Manual PDF (P/N LIT-11616-22-60, LIT-11626-25-26)

• 490 PDF pages total — Yamaha Service Manual P/N LIT-11616-22-60, 392 pages, first edition, October 2008; separate XVS95B(C) Owner's Manual P/N LIT-11626-25-26, 98 pages, first edition, May 2011.
• Factory service coverage is for 2009 XVS95Y/XVS95YC and XVS95CTY/XVS95CTYC, including U49 builds 49B1, 5S71, 49C1, and 26S1 and CAL builds 49B2, 5S72, 49C2, and 26S2.
• Engine repair sections cover complete removal, top-end timing and valve work, cylinder and piston service, lower-end disassembly, clutch and starter systems, oil-pump inspection, crankshaft/rod checks, and transmission reassembly.
• Chassis procedures detail wheel service and static balance, disc-brake caliper and master-cylinder work, hydraulic bleeding, front-fork and steering-head service, rear suspension linkage, swingarm, and belt-drive removal, inspection, installation, and adjustment.
• Fuel-injection and electrical diagnosis includes injector and fuel-pressure testing, throttle-body cleaning and synchronization, throttle-position-sensor adjustment, ECU self-diagnosis, diagnostic mode, fail-safe tables, sensor and actuator checks, and system-specific fault tracing.
• Factory reference material combines exploded assembly views, job instruction charts, lubrication and routing diagrams, system circuit diagrams, the full 2009 wiring diagram, Yamaha special-tool numbers, torque tables, capacities, wear limits, and electrical test specifications.

Model Codes, U49/CAL Builds, and CTY Equipment

The service publication is built around the 942cc air-cooled SOHC V-twin used in the covered Yamaha XVS950 V Star 950 configurations. It distinguishes U49 and CAL builds in the model and fuel-system data, including California-only evaporative-emissions canister checks. CTY-specific chassis pages cover the windshield, sidebags, backrest, and their mounting brackets, making that equipment part of the documented removal and installation scope.

Coverage is document-specific. The service manual identifies the 2009 models above, while the separate owner's manual identifies XVS95B(C). No separate 2010–2014 service supplements or addenda are included, so service fitment should be checked against the printed model codes.

942cc V-Twin and 5-Speed Repair Scope

The engine chapter is not limited to tune-up work. It covers complete engine removal, camshaft and rocker-arm service, front- and rear-cylinder timing, compression testing, cylinder-head inspection, valve-guide and valve-seat work, piston and ring inspection, and cylinder installation. Lower-end procedures address generator and starter clutch service, the wet multi-disc clutch and primary drive, crankcase separation and resealing, oil-pump and relief-valve inspection, crankshaft and connecting-rod bearing selection, and internal checks for the constant-mesh 5-speed transmission.

The camshaft section warns against turning the crankshaft during sprocket installation because that can disturb valve timing and damage components. The manual also identifies replacement parts, lubrication points, locking-agent locations, tightening sequences, inspection limits, and assembly checks needed to complete the repair correctly.

Fuel, Chassis, and Electrical Diagnosis

The fuel-system section covers the tank, pump, rollover valve, injectors, injector-pressure and fuel-pressure checks, throttle bodies, intake-manifold joints, and throttle-position sensor. Throttle-body cleaning is treated as a controlled procedure, with specific protection for the butterfly, factory adjustment screw, plastic parts, sensors, and seals, followed by a synchronization check.

Chassis coverage takes both brake systems from pad and disc inspection through caliper and master-cylinder disassembly, seal replacement, reassembly, hose routing, filling, and bleeding. Fork work includes damper-rod removal, bushing and seal replacement, oil-level setup, and final installation. Wheel, steering-head, shock-linkage, swingarm, and final-drive sections provide the related inspection and assembly data. The removed drive belt must not be twisted inside out or bent tightly, and the adjustment procedure keeps both belt pullers aligned to avoid belt or swingarm damage.

Electrical diagnosis is arranged by system. Ignition, starting, charging, lighting, signaling, fuel injection, and fuel-pump chapters each provide circuit diagrams and fault-isolation checks. The FI chapter ties meter-displayed fault codes to diagnostic-mode tests, connector and harness checks, sensor inspection, actuator operation, ECU reinstatement, and malfunction-history clearing.

Yamaha Tools, Diagrams, and the Separate Owner's Manual

Named references include the Engine Oil Lubrication Chart, Cable Routing section, Starting Circuit Cut-Off System Operation diagram, Charging System circuit diagram, Fuel Injection System circuit diagram, and the full 2009 wiring diagram. The special-tool table provides Yamaha numbers and regional equivalents; useful U.S./Canada examples include the YU-44456 carburetor synchronizer, YM-03170 rear drive belt tension gauge, YM-01442 adjustable fork seal driver, YU-01235 universal magneto/rotor holder, YM-03176 fuel-pressure adapter, and YU-A1927 digital multimeter with tachometer.

The 98-page owner's manual is operating and basic-maintenance literature, not a second service supplement. It covers controls, pre-operation checks, riding, owner-level maintenance, care and storage, specifications, consumer information, and warranty material.

Securely support the motorcycle before wheel, fork, swingarm, or belt-drive work, and follow the manual's fuel, brake-fluid, battery, and pressurized-shock precautions. This description summarizes the publication set and does not replace the repair procedures in the manuals.
