The factory manual that covers it is LIT-11616-RD-40, a book Yamaha wrote to span the 1976 to 1979 RD400.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour model years under one part number means you should treat the specification tables as the important part of the volume. Where the E differs from the earlier bikes, the difference is in those tables; where it does not, you can follow the shared procedure as written.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngine coverage runs from removal and top end through crankshaft, clutch and gearbox, with assembly torque values in place. Carburettor settings, ignition timing, Autolube pump inspection and the tune-up figures are all given. Chassis chapters deal with fork oil quantity, swingarm and wheel bearing checks, brake wear limits and chain adjustment. Wiring diagrams and a troubleshooting order for the electrical system round it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm both the code and the part number before you order, since RD400 listings are easily mixed up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FactoryManual","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49083119337694,"sku":"YAMAHARD4001978SRM","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4113\/8910\/files\/1978-yamaha-rd400-service-repair-manual_ee8fad19-ba80-4b73-b2b5-7bccda9021e4.png?v=1789925617","url":"https:\/\/factorymanual.com\/products\/1978-yamaha-rd400-service-repair-manual","provider":"FactoryManual","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
