I just got an 84 yamaha maxim 550 but just couldn't find an owner's manual anywhere. Is this the same as xj550? Can't do any maintenance work without a manual..help..anybody????

I'd get a factory service manual...I'm familiar with working on cars but never on bikes, and the owners manual really didnt tell me much. My FSM also has a maintenance interval chart.

Here's a site with alot of manuals...might have one you're looking for.

Hope this helps.

thanks. I'll look it up. There's one from Book4cars.com for 16.95 plus shipping but it covers xj550, 600, etc. I wasn't sure if this is the right one.
