About the Yamaha XVZ12 Venture
Start with the complete model code for your 1200 Venture.
Yamaha’s Venture Royale reference describes a 1,198 cc liquid-cooled V4 with shaft drive, developed for long-distance touring. Within the XVZ12 parts range, the complete model code remains important: D, T and TD applications are not interchangeable labels for every component.
Find your Venture branch, then build the repair order
Use the D and T branches for their featured clutch and brake repairs; the TD branch focuses on individual valve shims. This parent guide highlights engine gaskets, float needle-and-seat parts and fork seals with XVZ12 1983–1985 applications. Each route leads to a different repair decision, so retain the full suffix when checking the product.
