These are linking to PDFs through either google docs or diplodocs so should be fine - would be interested if other people are having issues.
The first one on the list (XZ400 Fiche) is in Japanese so you would need Japanese fonts to display properly

roro,

Check out this link for the fiche, same thing you have in the list of resources, but is in a different view (11H).  I think it is more printer friendly and easier to view.  In any case let me know what you think....still a rookie over here.

Can we get these types of invaluable pages stickied or pinned?

Six additions to the Resources list - at the top of this post

Our friend Night Vision sent me copies of Rov Newsletter 9, 10, 11, 12 which I have not seen before.  Thanks NV - it's great to see people sharing this stuff with all the others.

Also added Leather's exceptionally thorough Ignition FAQ - it's also available on his web site http://www.jetav8r.com/Vision/ (http://www.jetav8r.com/Vision/) Also added Electrex's fault finding flowchart.  If you have any stator r/r issues, then go through this first.  Both these are elsewhere on RoV but added here just for completeness

If anyone else has XZ550/XZ400 resources, just send me an email / PM and I'll include it.
If you have interesting paper copies and can't scan them I'm happy to do that and then return them to you.

These old newsletters are pretty interesting.  There's an english translation of the article on the XZR751G, Yamaha Motor US Racing Mod recommendations, How to stiffen your frame, Using a spare rear valve cover in the front for added horsepower, etc etc.  This sort of stuff is never talked about these days.

OK,
I've changed the links so that they don't use the Google Page browser, but they push the document straight to you as a download.  It works on Mac/Chrome, Win7/IE9, but I don't really have any way of checking pre-historic versions of software, or Linux/FFox

Please let me know if it works - if it still gives dodgy results I'll move the files off Google and on to my own web server

Just added a scan of the Garage Poster that came with some copies of the XZ550 Haynes Workshop manual.  See the first post in this thread - under Service Manuals

A fairly poor original sorry - I think that smear in the middle is blood and I had to scan it in pieces and stitch it.

I printed this out as A3 and it looks cool on the garage wall together with the colour wiring diagram also in A3.  One day I'll get them laminated perhaps.

@Rick, I changed the way it sent the files so it would be compatible with your Linux / Firefox system.

You probably have the old CD that was being sold, but there's a huge amount of stuff here that was never on the CD - worth having a bit of a browse.  Let me know of any links that don't work and I'll fix them right up.

@Rikugun, The poster came with the blood already on it.  I don't know about you but I've donated at least a pint of blood and a couple of fingernails to my vision quest.  Less now that I have some decent spanners that don't round off and scrape my knuckles off.

Interesting read and a fun romp through nostalgia.  :) It's funny to see references to older bikes like the Titan and Yamaha TX models.  I wasn't aware of the complaint regarding knees being driven apart by wind due to the tank's shape. I guess I'm too short to experience that particular peculiarity. While not the overall favorite it was nice to see some of it's finer points being appreciated.

Two new resources today.


The first is a scan of the Yamaha Service Manual for the 16R (Australasian market model)  PinholeNZ very kindly sent me the manual to scan for the good of all and I've been sitting on it for a while because it's quite  job scanning 500+ pages.  It's worth a look even if you have a US model - if only for the jetting differences between 16R and US models.  Thanks PinholeNZ


XZ550 (11R) Service Manual EN,FR,SP  (https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B5rMo73UpmHbNmNSUFpDOHBLWDA)


The second is an XZ550 article from classic & motorcycle mechanics as late as 2004

Well, maybe one or two flattering remarks. You might not have noticed them at the end after being bludgeoned throughout the article with all the faults. I was surprised they praised the bars despite many on this site (or a very vocal minority?) seeming to hate them.

This review picked up on something I haven't seen in many other reviews that being the proclivity of the engine temp gage to flirt with the red zone.

It's supposed to come back to the same page, but at the bottom of the window you should see the PDF has been downloaded onto your computer and should be sitting happily in your downloads folder, or if you are on IE/Edge it should ask you what you want to do with the file.
It used to just display the page but there were a few people on odd-ball computer systems where the PDFs didn't display properly.
PM me if it doesn't work with some details about you computer OS and browser and I'll see if I can sort you out.

Fret,
This has been tested on multiple PC and Mac systems.  Not sure what will happen if you are on unix /linux systems or on a cell phone.


The link should return to the same page, and the file appear at the bottom, like the pic below.
If it doesn't show there, it should be in your Downloads folder.


If neither of these work let me know what type of computer/browser you are running and I'll check it out, otherwise I am happy to email to you directly, let me know.
No need for you to miss out

Yeah, I don't see that on my computer.  I hope for everyone else's sake it is just my computer or me.  Just yesterday my e-mail (gmail) locked up.  Working again today.  Just another bit of frustration on the digital highway.

On a Mac, By default files downloaded go into the DOWNLOADS folder.  You can see this in Finder  See Pic1


If the default has been changed you can see what folder is the new default in General Settings See Pic 2


Failing that, in Safari click the Show Downloads button near the top-right corner of the web browser window. If there are no downloads, the button won't appear.


Good luck
Beyond that I'm a bit stuck.  These are just PDF files, I can email you any you want...

I know you are all just gagging to read another XZ550 review.  Re-posted from Adrian Budd over on Facebook.
Clearly the "journalist" started his career writing for "The Sun"

Oh Dear Its Yamahas XZ550 Again (https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1yZZAD5zj0L1bZoW8K5iEMy4m-4hOQQS4)
