Wanted - 1976 and 1981 Owner's Manuals

[MaxPete]

Hi All: I would like to ask if anyone has a 1976 and a 1981 XS650 owner's manual (not a shop manual) that they would be willing to part with. If you do please PM me and we can perhaps come to an arrangement.

Thanks in advance,

Pete

Did you know that you can buy them from Yamaha? http://www.yamahapubs.com/results.php?cat-id=3&year=1976&family=XS650&lang=en

Cool - thanks Marty!

Oh wait - dammit - they won't allow a Canadian address - and Yamaha Canada doesn't seem to sell owners manuals. I'll call them tomorrow and see whats what.

Thanks for the info - great lead!

The link was for the 1976 owner's manual ($17.00) and service manual ($89.00)

Yup , and I even put both manuals in my basket - $34. USD - the problem came when I tried to enter a billing address.

It seems that "Ontario" is not a US state.

Who knew?

I tried the link, for year 83 doesn't list XS650 as an option.

Judging by the number of Ontario plates here in NY you'd think it was! Heck, we have a town and a county both called Ontario!

OK. I went to the Yamaha-USA site. You have to go to the Canadian site. http://www.yamaha-motor.ca/

Yup, I did that Marty but I can't find where they sell owners manual, let alone anything else for a bike as old as our 650s.

Hmmmmm.....
