Owner's manual

[wapam]

Anyone have a 1980 XS1100SG owner's manual they don't need?

Thank you.

Hey Wapam,

It's not the 80, but it's an 81H/SH. The differences are going to be with your Cent. Adv. mechanism, and you have a ballast resistor, the carbs should be the same, the lights may look different, but the engine basics are very similar.

I found a guy that has one on Craig's list. It is described as:

1st. printing, June 1979 Yamaha Motor Company Limited, Japan. P/N LIT-11626-01-78

Does that sound like the right manual for a 1980 XS1100SG? Right part number?

How much should I offer for it?

Thanks again.

My "Genuine Yamaha" manuals
has supplements for a few other models.

What models his manual covers will be listed in the index.


mro
I two different factory and a Clymer and one other manual.
All are "OK", but like the factory manuals a little better.

Not wise to buy a manual that was printed before the bike was manufactured. Get one that was printed after the bike was manufactured, like mro points out, the later version will have supplemental info that comes to light after the model run has been in production, through dealer repairs, etc.

Then again, you can just ask your question here, we have all the answers!

Well, my '80G manual was also printed in 1979...

1st Printing May 1979
P/N LIT-11626-01-74...

If that means anything.

[randy]

Yeah, but you know it's for an '80G. This one, the model isn't verified. Just my .02

Hey MRO and Randy,

He stated he was looking for the "OWNER's MANUAL", not a service manual. My 81 covers both the H and SH model, so I would think that Yamaha did the same thing for the earlier years when they made both standards and specials in the same year to save on printing costs!?

But also, like we've told folks before, the bikes for model/year runs are usually made 6 months or so the year before.

I'll look on the Yamaha site to see if they list the part number for the owner's manual!

Looks like he has the one I need, thank you to all for the help.

Now the big question, how much to offer for it? Any advice is appreciated.

I have the original manual that came with my bike an '80 SG, I wanna keep it but if you need any info about your bike this site is WAY better than the original owners manual.
But if I wanted one I would go Five bucks,I am sure the asking price is way more but it doesn't contain that much info...ask here, not me but the bike guru's...............
