Late-production examples of these singles are frequently a mixture of parts from across the range, which is precisely why the factory's combined book is the right reference. The figures for all three models sit together, and the code identifies which set is yours.

The manual is original Yamaha service material: torque specifications, wear limits, ordered disassembly and reassembly, wiring diagrams, and troubleshooting arranged so a symptom leads to a test. It assumes competence with tools and spends its pages on numbers and sequence instead of basics.

Restorers tend to live in the clearance tables and the wiring pages; those two sections carry most of the practical value on a bike this old.
