Service Manuals-Yamaha vs Clymer

[dorf]

I recently purchased a Yamaha Service Manual, LIT-18616-02-65 for a 2006 Yamaha 2 stroke TLR-50 HP.($53.00)(This manual is for a 2005 since 2006 are not available)

I was extremely disappointed in this manual because it is vary sparse with information, with out descriptions, useable charts and so forth.

I then purchased a Clymer($39.00) 2-90 HP, 2 Stroke-1999-2002 manual. (B786)This is just a wonderful book, chocked full of info ,charts, system descriptions etc.

So...just my 2 cents , If you are thinking about purchasing a service manual for your Yamaha Id'd seriously consider a Clymer manual.

the factory service manual is for trained techs, clymers is for everyday people

watch out, clymers is sometimes wrong on things. your right, the yami manuals are very hard to understand

So both are better than jus' one, thanks.
Found mine.
