SERVICE MANUALS:

Although it's fun to be adventurous, creative, and daring at times, wrenching on the bike is not one of those times......

Some people seem to think that working on a bike is "simple", and therefore they don't need a service manual. While we agree that for some operations and procedures this may be correct, for many of the routine maintenance tasks you're going to need a service manual in order to figure out what may seem, at first glance, to be a "simple" task (actually, those things that you think are really simple can be the most mind-bending in complexity, until you've done them a time or two.....).

So, our advice is don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish----if it helps at all, just think of a service manual as a very useful tool for your toolbox, just like the proper sized socket or screwdriver, and one that is necessary to do a job properly.


Aftermarket Workshop Manuals:

lm1) The ever-popular Haynes or Clymer WORSHOP MANUALS line of "enhanced" factory service manuals cover all major service, repair, rebuild, and maintenance procedures (sometimes in excruciating detail, and usually with many more pictures and illustrations than the factory service manual does), and also includes wiring diagrams and other useful specifications.


HCP1094 Clymer Service-Repair-Maintenance Workshop Manual, for all 1981-83 XJ550 models, as well as 1984-92 XJ600 and FJ600 models. Softcover, almost 300 pages, a must-have manual if you own one of these machines. Each:
$

HCP1093 Haynes Service-Repair-Maintenance Workshop Manual, for all 1980-84 XJ650 (except Turbo) and XJ750 models, softcover, over 275 action-packed pages, a must-have manual if you own one of these machines. Each:
$

NOTE: the 1984 XJ750RL Seca models (Canada and Australia only) models used the XJ900 frame and chassis with a 750 engine. In order to service this model correctly, you would need to purchase BOTH the Haynes HCP1093 and the HCP1092 manuals to fully cover all aspects of engine and chassis service.

HCP1092 Haynes Service-Repair-Maintenance Workshop Manual, for all 1983-94 XJ900 models, hardcover, over 210 pages, even has a nice color-coded wiring schematic, bless you guys at Haynes! Each:

lm2) Original reprinted FACTORY SERVICE MANUALS are also available. These full-size manuals covers all aspects of diagnosis, repair, and assembly for specific model bikes. These brand new, official Yamaha manuals are one of those "must-have" tools if you're going to be wrenching on your own bike. Plenty of photographs, diagrams, flowcharts, wiring charts (some of them even being correct!), torque values, etc. NOTE: cover design, color, and appearance may differ from originals.

NOTE: originally, Yamaha would not release a new service manual for each year's production, unless there had been significant changes in design, service procedures, features, etc......and even in those cases, even if there HAD been significant changes, they would not release an entirely new service manual, but merely a "supplement" to the past service manual for that model, and that supplement would highlight only the changes to procedures, etc. that would need to be followed.

For example: the 1980 XJ650 Maxim---being the first model in the XJ650 series---was issued a service manual by Yamaha. The 1981 XJ650 model, having no significant differences from the 1980 model, used the same 1980 XJ650 service manual. However, the 1982 XJ650 Maxim models had a number of meaningful difference in service procedures (first and foremost, the introduction of the YICS cylinder head design and system, which required a different synchronization procedure, a variation to the engine teardwon and re-build procedures, etc.).

Rather than publish a brand new service manual for the 1982 XJ650 Maxim models, Yamaha merely published a service manual Supplement and instructed dealers to use the 1980 XJ650 Base Service Manual along with the 1982 XJ650 Supplementary Service Manual to properly service those bikes.....after all, 90% of the procedures in the 1980 XJ650 "base" Service Manual still applied and were valid for the 1982 XJ650 Maxim models, so why publish an entire new manual, when just a "supplement" would work?

This same process applies to many of the original models and their service manuals. The 1982 XJ750 Maxim models, for instance, used that same 1980 XJ650 Maxim Service Manual as the "base manual", and had a 75-page XJ750J Supplementary Service Manual that was to be used in conjunction with the base (1980 XJ650) manual.

That was then.

This is now: all of the Supplementary Service Manuals are rolled into the front of the "base manuals" for the individual manuals listed as reprints below. So for instance, the 1982-3 XJ650 Maxim Service Manual has both the 1980 XJ650 "Base" Service Manual AND the 1982-3 XJ650 Supplementary Service Manual bound together into one book.....no need to acquire two different books to have all of the correct prodcedures for working on your 1983 XJ650 Maxim. Same thought applies to the XJ750 Maxim Service Manuals.....they have the "base" 1980 XJ650 Maxim Service Manual, and also the XJ750 Maxim Supplementary Manual all bound together into one book.

Some manuals, such as the XJ550 Maxim and Seca Service Manual, will be labelled (on the cover) as a 1981 XJ550 Maxim/Seca Service Manual, when in fact it covers all three model years.

So when you purchase one of the manuals listed below, rest assured that it will have ALL of the correct procedures and information that will apply to the specific models for which it is listed as covering.



HCP1128 Factory Service Manual covers all XJ550 Maxim and XJ550 Seca models 1981-83.

HCP1134 Factory Service Manual covers all XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim models 1980-83.

HCP1139 Factory Service Manual covers all XJ650 Turbo models 1982-83. NOTE: the factory Yamaha manual for the XJ650 Turbo models is composed of the original 1980 XJ650G service manual, and an additional bound-in Turbo Supplement section of about 125 pages, and this manual was produced for the 1982 models.

Although there may have originally been a 1983 supplemental version also, we have never been able to locate one. Given that the meaningful differences between 1982 and 1983 XJ650 Turbo models are few, the 1982 version of the manual is the only thing available for 1983 owners .

NOTE: the 1984 XJ750RL (Canada and Australia only) models used the XJ900 frame and chassis with a 750 engine. In order to service this model correctly, you would need to purchase BOTH an XJ900RK service manual and the XJ750 Seca 1981-83 service manual (or the HCP1093 Haynes manual) to fully cover all aspects of engine and chassis service.

NOTE: The question naturally arises: should you order the aftermarkt Clymer or Haynes manual or the reprinted Yamaha Factory Service Manual (for those models that have both types available?). At the risk of sounding like a pushy salesman, I'd honestly have to answer this question with the advice: "Order both".

Although the aftermarket service manuals are adapted from the factory manuals---and thus there are some areas where there is quite a bit of similarity in content between the two manuals---there are enough areas where there are meaningful differences in the photographs, illustrations, and especially in the descriptive and instructive content that most people (meaning "non-professional mechanics") will appreciate having two different "versions" of the same procedure to refer to.

 

Soooo...how can i purchase the hcp1158 factory service manual? Are y'all selling them or is this a public service announcement?
