So I need a manual. The carbs are off and are just finished with Robert R. I need to check the valve clearances before reassembly. Although Robert recommended an excellent, brief Youtube video, I'm also old school and would like a paper manual. I would prefer a factory manual. A quick perusal of ebay shows numerous versions. First, for service work, am I supposed to use the Supplemental Service Manual or is this a supplement to a general service manual. Secondly, for a 1990 FJ, I know Yamaha referred to it as a 3CV. Would that be the designation to look at for the appropriate manual application? I see A and AD models. Thank you members.

Yamaha still sells the FSM, covers all of the FJ models. About $90, I think. Buy it online thru the Yamaha website.

Joe,
Almost every Yamaha FJR "manual" on eBay will be a pirate-copy disk, unless the seller specifically says otherwise. Better ask, first.
The sellers'
picture of their sale item may be a picture of the paper manual, but you will probably get a disk. Yamaha never published the manuals on disk.

I have a Haynes service manual,for fj1100 and 1200. Full explanations on things, pictures, and full color wiring diagram to boot. Link below. I have hard cover, because i prefer it, but i linked the cheaper paperback.

Thank you to everyone that replied. I'm thinking the factory service manual is what I desire. If I can't find one second hand, I'll buy new from Yamaha. I have a question about letter suffixes. Does this chart look correct?

Thank you specifically to Red for warning me about ebay disc manuals that look like paper manual auctions. I did ask the seller and his response was vague.
