Greets!

91 FJ1200
I'm having a hard time finding a full repair manual for this bike.  Everything listed as a service manual online is a very abbreviated service manual. I'm not confusing it with the owner's manual.  I looked in the file section here, and kind of the same thing someone uploaded a service manual but it's 2 separate downloads,  odd even pages and kind of tough to navigate. And it's the same deal not real in-depth. I haven't had to buy a hard copy manual and sometime but maybe that's the only option, going Haynes or Clymer.

Moto,

Welcome to the FJ forum.  Pull up a seat, and be among friends.  Somebody on this forum may have a Shop Manual for you.

No help here, but a minor caution: if you find the Shop Manual being sold on-line, they may show you pix of the book, but you will probably get a CD-ROM disk, not a hard-copy book.  The pages on that disk (even if complete) will usually be scanned images, which means you can read every page, but you will not be able to Search the book to find every mention of Clutch Plates, for example.  If you pay a US dollar for that CD-ROM, you paid too much.  The CD-ROM will be a pirate copy of the real book; Yamaha never issued a CD-ROM version of the Shop Manual, AFAIK.  So, if you try to buy the book on-line, make sure the seller is selling you a real book, and not selling CD-ROM disks instead. 

Dealers could sell bona-fide large paper-back copies of the Shop Manual to anybody, at one time.  Maybe they still can.  Cost was around US$ 100.00 retail, or thereabouts.  HTH.
Cheers,
Red

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.
