Yamaha Reviews

I want to know about this manua

This is a very good book for my 1982 Yamaha XJ750-r. It is one of the few I found that were available. Many illustrations with a down to earth HOWTO approach. I like it.

First, allow me to level-set. Although I've had Ron Wright's manual only one day now, I see it'll provide years of helpful technical detail, plus I can hardly put the book down! You see, I've enjoyed the privilege of owning, and thus maintaining/repairing and even restoring about two dozen motor vehicles in my lifetime: cars, street and dirt bikes, and Personal Watercraft. Plus I've before worked 7 years in basic auto service.

I can see Wright's book will be a favorite manual, nearly up there with a personal favorite: Robert Bentley's phone-book-sized repair manuals for British cars. Already, I see Wright is more thorough than the factory service manuals for my 1965 Corvette!

I bought the '97 XT-350 with missing owner's manual a month ago; I've searched for a decent manual ever since. The dealer could order the small owner's manual, but could not locate the factory Yamaha service manuals. I later located both Ron Wright's and the factory Yamaha service manuals on the web. The two factory manuals required by Yamaha gave me sticker shock!! In contrast, Wright's manual appeared a bargain. I just hoped it was not similar to some after-market repair manuals, which leave me baffled, for example, I've read a section of a car repair manual under "A/C" which basically says "Charge it. If still inoperative take car to an A/C mechanic." Real helpful!

My XT came in superb condition with low mileage, except it became apparent the bike was never serviced (yes, I mean *NEVER*). Anxious to take out the bike for a thrashing in the dirt, I had to service it by a mix of memory of repairing my ex-1981 XT-250, combined with plain old instinct. (Heh, it's a simple bike after all.) Fluids, filters, lube, new battery, carb. clean, etc. I procrastinated the rest, waiting for specs and procedures from a decent manual.

Now, Ron Wright's manual arrived and it has everything I'd been looking for, and MUCH more. There are so many extensive, detailed photos (black-and-white), hints, and plain-language explanations of each step, part and tool. It appears nothing is left out.

Bravo!

This is an extreamly clear and concise manual that covers all aspects of maintence, light and even in-depth repairs. The manual gives accurate reprinted information and specifications from the OEM original shop manuals. This is a must have for the ATV owner! If you are a seasoned technician, or do-it-yourselfer, this is one to add to your library! It has many excellent photographs, and well detailed illustraions to help in identifing components, and assemblies. It is easy to read and understand, and even has recomendations for specific tools needed. If you own one of these ATV's , you won't want to be without this book!

I was impressed on the amout of detail and pictures.new and long time banshee owners alike can benfit from it's knowledge.it also applies to the 97,98 banshee's as well.
