Yamaha XVS V-Star (USA)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Yamaha XVS V-Star (USA) coolant capacity ranges from 0,45 to 2,55 liters. Service intervals include checking every 4000 miles or 6 months and changing every 16000 miles or 24 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The XVS 13 V Star (2010-2017) cooling system carries a main capacity of 2.55 liters, which represents the primary circuit fill volume rather than a combined total with the reservoir.
  • An additional reservoir on the Yamaha XVS V-Star XVS 13 (2010-2017) holds 0.45 liters separately from the main 2.55-liter circuit, bringing the total coolant volume across both components to 3.00 liters.
  • The 2010-2017 XVS 13 V Star specifications include a dedicated check interval of 4,000 miles or 6 months under normal use conditions, a shorter cycle than the full change interval.
  • Across all three XVS 13 configurations covering 2007-2017, the coolant change interval is consistent at 16,000 miles or 24 months under normal use conditions.
  • The 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 XVS 13 rows specify coolant level as "between min and max" rather than stating a discrete capacity figure, indicating a level-based service check rather than a measured fill volume.
  • The overlap in model year coverage between the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 XVS 13 rows means the 2008 model year appears under two separate specification entries, each sharing the same 16,000-mile or 24-month change interval.
