Service Manual

[fred-houston]

Anyone know the best source to purchase a service manual for a 2016?

 

[VRODE]

I ordered one from here.

Links to bootleg manuals

On many of the forums I am on, posting links for sources of bootleg manuals is a no-no due to copyright laws.

Thoughts?

Thanks Rider -

I looked when the link was added to this thread. It seems to be a real manual that is "used in new condition" so we can let it stay. If anybody finds this is a bootleg, please let AvGeek and I know so we can nuke it.


Not violating copyrights is one of the things that we have to be strict about and can get our members a warning or time-out.

It's a bootleg... A really good bootleg, but a bootleg. I've got one.
Funny how they left Genuine Yamaha Manual on the cover.

They may have a license to reproduce it. This is printed at the bottom of the page of their web pages.

"All prices are in USD. Copyright 2016 Service Shop Repair Manual"

They also have printed in the description.

"These are new, dealer/factory service/shop repair manuals just as the dealers have and use. NOT a CD manual and NOT derived from a CD manual! Why pay more?"

It appears they sell a ton of service manuals for various bikes, so you would think if they were bootleg, it would have hit on one or two of the manufactures radars.

I do not knowingly purchase bootleg material. The site looks pretty legit, so I will see when I get the manual and check and see if it has a copyright notice printed in it.

I just went to order one, but they want $76 to ship to the UK! Won't be getting that then!

Links to a good deal on a 2015 non-es service manual? The only non-es one I'm finding is about $30 more than the es one posted above.

Normally I care about copyright issues, but service manuals bug the hell out of me. When a person spends $15,000 on a vehicle, a CD copy of the service manual should be included, or at least made readily available for a small add-on cost. Charging $90 for something they have to produce for every one of their dealers is highway robbery IMO.

I got mine on eBay for cheap.

I agree in principle with dietDrThunder that including service info should be part of a vehicle purchase. After all, we have the Magnuson–Moss_Warranty_Act that allows owners to do their own maintenance without violating the warranty (in the US at least). However, I know that almost every vehicle manufacturer does charge extra. I can't post numbers, but $100 for a service manual is nothing when you see what the big companies building airliners charge.


Bottom line is that it's one thing we can't play around with here. Unless we get something in writing from Yamaha that they've given license, and now that we've heard from two members that this is a bootleg, the link has been deleted.

Apologies. I thought I was getting a used manual. Lesson learned.

Does anyone have a link to a service manual for a 2015 non ES? I'm not looking for bootleg but all I'm seeing online are ES manuals or ones that don't specify?

 

[gearhead1200]

This is where I got mine from it's OEM it has both ES and non ES in it and for $45

Do all service manuals address both standard and ES? That'd solve my problem.

OEM service manual has both ES and non-ES info. I took a USB flash drive to the dealership and asked questions about some parts. The guy behind the counter was using the digital service manual to look up and at some point I asked if he could put the service manual on it and he did. C

I had a similar experience with the dealer when I bought my first Tenere. Makes you want to carry a thumb drive every place you go "just in case"!!!!!!
