Here they are!:


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 teardown 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 procedures 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 labeled (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.

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.

Chacal is being modest--he has nearly every part imagineable for your XJ IN STOCK plus some you haven't even thought of, trust me...and you have fallen into a group of extremely knowlegeable folks who are fanatical about resurrecting and riding these modern classics. Welcome!

 

chacal gives good advice, too -- knows when you need that extra bit to make the repair complete. I mean, on a 26 year old bike, he knows what wears out! Also, check the threads on replacing your fuse box, adjusting your valves, etc.

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate all that!

Although truth be known, I just have a magic 8-ball I use to answer most questions........

 

fantastic guys.. i thought i was lost... this is my first bike as i am a new rider . it took a while surfing but i think i found the spot!
thx again and i'll try to get my pics up
