Electric G16 cars were sold from the platform's first year, and the 1996 example is the G16-EP with a 36-volt DC motor, code G16EP. Yamaha's service coverage is LIT-19616-G1-60.
That number brings with it the entire family. The manual runs 1996 to 2002 and documents the later electric cars G16-ER, G16-ES, G16-ET, G16-EU, G16-EW and G16-EX as well as every carburetted G16 from the G16-AP to the G16-AX, since chassis, brakes and body work are shared.
For a battery car the sections worth knowing are the motor and controller procedures, the charging system checks and the wiring diagrams, all drawn as Yamaha built them. Testing points and expected readings are given, so a fault can be narrowed down instead of guessed at. Mechanical chapters carry the factory torque figures.
Verify the code plate shows G16EP.
