Works fine on my Mac using the Google Chrome browser

I'm using Firefox latest edition. It downloads but is unreadable gibberish of symbols. Maybe Google is my new destination.

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

Not that I need this one, but playing around with the links the first service guide (11U) in IE 8 I get a Google error message: "Sorry, we are unable to scan this file for viruses"

That's because it is large. Click "Download Anyway" and you will be golden.

Roro,
Just finished looking at the service Manual in 3 languages and it downloaded in about 5 secs with g-mail account using my i-pad 2..

It's the web site for the manuals that is my problem. It states clearly it is for WINDOZE systems. I downloaded a manual but can't read it. I can look at the parts fiches though, so that is nice.

Very strange. Works on my iMac.
PM me your email address and I'll send them direct

Many additional to the Resources list - at the top of this post
The manuals that were on diplodocs I have downloaded and put up on Google, so those who had difficulty should now be good

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?

Thanks PwrManDan - had not seen a good version of the 11J before - the other one was as good as I could screen shot off a dynamic listing. Have updated the fiche in this listing. The RK looks the same

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/ 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.

Four Additions to the resource list - again thanks to NV
RoV Newsletter 14 (13 doesn't exist) - Newsletter 18

Six Additions to the resource list - again thanks to NV
RoV Newsletter 19 - Newsletter 23
For Visions Only - Parts for sale

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.

If anyone else has XZ550/XZ400 resources, just send me an email / PM and I'll include it.
