Little help for a new owner
I recently purchased an '05 in blue. What a neat bike. This is my first Yamaha. This bike is to replace a Honda Interceptor (VFR) that was totaled when it slid over a cliff on the Dragon. This is my have fun, day trip bike. I have a shadow for the long stuff.

I guess my main question is can someone point me to where I can download the shop manual.

Also would like to hear your suggestions on how to make bike better.

Re: Little help for a new owner
Maybe its me being new to Yamaha, but Honda has about a 400 page shop manual for every model (tells you step by step how to do everything to the bike). Does Yamaha not have this or am I missing it?

Re: Little help for a new owner


I am not sure, as I have only owned Yamaha and Kawasaki, and the owners manual is all that came with them.

Hey I just realized something the 05 (2005-Service-LIT-11616-18-43.pdf) is a supplementary service and it's only 36 pages

What you need is the LIT-11616-FZ-61 which is 04-06 factory service manual. which is 469 pages

and please do ask if you're in a bind. You'll get a TON of answers in a hurry. Searching provides a great deal of hits but be sure to use more than three characters. GPS will not work in a search, but GPS* will work!
