XVZ13TFW Owners Manual

[Hummingbird]

When I bought my Venture (used, 1 year old) it didn't come with an owners manual. I've been stewing over it since.

Well, I finally found an original owners manual on Ebay for $39 delivered. Probably paid too much but I didn't check and don't care, I have one now - I'm sure the guy had more if anybody needs one. Let me know and I'll look up the link

I knew there was a manual here but I wanted an original hard copy for the bike, here's the link http://www.mcmanual.com look around, I'm sure he has more. The one I got looks brand new.

You can download the manual from the Yamaha site for free, then print it out.

Oh yeah...,now you tell him

It took me almost 3 years to find a manual for my '88.

I did get it on eBay for around $40.

There are several sights where you can order a new hard copy for the newer stuff. You can call Yamaha and they will direct you to the printer to get a new manual.

I don't know about the newer bikes but mine is 168 pages. That is a lot to print out yourself and might eat-up $40 worth of ink and paper.

 

I am in the process of scanning my '88 manual to post up here. It will take a long while yet to finish.

Sounded like it was, pretty much, a done deal from the first post though. There was no chance of saving him so I thought posting that might help someone else who may have been looking for one.

 

 

Brad, come up here and help me do my Valve Shims!!

I knew I could do that - however I wanted an original manual - but thanks

Yeah, I figured you might. Some people just like that kind of thing. I'm, the same way.

 

Like I said, my comment was, kind of, for others who weren't aware of that to save them some cash.

I'm pretty much the same way. I like having a .pdf copy on the computer but like having the paper manuals and etc. that came with the bike. Just something about having all the original documents.

I know...but I like to bust your chops from time to time

Now I'd love to come up there, but I wont have a lot of time off now. You could always plan a trip down here and we could make that valve shim happen
