This is the maintenance schedule and associated service intervals for the 2008-2014 Yamaha XV1700 Road Star, including the Road Star S and the Road Star Silverado S.

in 2008, Yamaha updated their premium Road Star brand to give it a fuel injected engine. They kept the displacement the same from the 2004 update at 1670cc.

The new Road Star did make more power than the previous XV1600 (with the 1670cc engine) but still not as much as the Yamaha Warrior with its hotter cam and tuning.
