XJ1100 Owners Manual

[Rick Wood]

Would anyone have a copy of or a link to a file copy of a 1982 XJ1100 Owners Manual.

I would like to get one.

There are a number of us that would like to get a service manual.

I'd like to get one for 78e... in electronic state

However, I have the shaft drive service/repair manual. I think it's for XS750, but the shafts are the same as on XS 1100, etc...
You can download it on http://213.143.72.86 the stuff section.

Wonder How much trouble I could get in if I scanned my manual, and posted a link to my webpage for it???

[strom]

Dunno, I didn't get into any trouble...yet.

Just put it in a PDF form so ppl won't be able to change it, write that you don't profit from it, and stuff like that....

As long as your ISP doesn't mind you taking up "a few" MB of space, and maybe gobbling up a bit more bandwidth as folks access for downloads, everybody should be happy...

Hey there ?Dave?,
Well, I have an 81sh, and have the OEM owners manual if that's the manual you are talking about, vs. a SHOP manual. I have been thinking of scanning it as well to offer to the group. We'll see how this weekend weather goes, looks like lots of rain, so I might actually have time to do that!! Will let you know.

MY NEW BEST FRIEND!!!

COOL! I would love a copy of that! I was hoping for the shop manual but I will welcome that too.

I have the Clymers manual but I am not very impressed with it.

You may NOT be too impressed?!

Dear Dave,
You may not be impressed with this, the owner's manual is merely a simple "How to use" type guide, not a repair resource!
Below is copy of message sent to AllXS11's Yahoo group. I did not try to provide links to the different parts, I thought Yahoo required you to log in to access them, so if you want it, just go there to the FILES section and get it!
************************************************** **
Dear Group,
I have created a PDF file of the 81XS11 H and SH series owner's manual. Yahoo would not allow any file larger than 5MB to be posted. This PDF when assembled is about 6.62MB in size, which was shrunk down by Adobe during the creation from a 14.5MB sized Word file that I had first created.

The manual was created by scanning the pages and keeping them only in graphics(jpg) format, would have taken much longer than the 4-5 hours it took me just to scan and compile these if I had tried to use OCR type formatting of the text and then interspersed the "MANY" graphics in with it!!!

The file was split using RZSplit prg, and you can simply D/L both parts along with the BATch file, then run the BATch file and it will assemble the two parts into the 1 PDF file for your viewing and reference.

I hope it helps those out there that got their machine without an owner's manual!

XJ CD info

The home page for the XJ Owners mailing list is www.xjowners.com go there and sign up on the list and ask someone for info on the CD. Or go to tech tips, its an awesome site for XJ owners, there are several I think who frequent both this list and that one, like me.

The shop manual for the 81 Special can be had. At least it was still available in 2001, I got one from the Yamahammer u dealer for 40 bucks, got one for my XJ as well, it was 40 bucks. took me 2 weeks to get them. Ymmv.
