Download source for 2005 FJR workshop manual

[Bounce]

The best way to know for sure is to actually ask the seller. When there was another source being discussed, I simply sent the guy an e-mail. He replied to my question about was it a Yamaha authorized product. His reply was a simple: NEGATIVE.

If you want to crib from my work, here's what I sent:

We have had some activity from members sharing you as a source for
discounted, factory service manuals.

Because we are always concerned about being a good "partner" with the
community we have established a policy that prevents anyone from helping
those folks who have been selling digital copies of factory Yamaha
manuals because, to the best of our knowledge, Yamaha has not authorizedthe for sale to non-dealerships.

What I am trying to ascertain is if this is a Yamaha authorized product
so that we can continue to support the public posting of it as a source.
With our high visibility to Yamaha and the community at large, we can't
risk running into problems with protected Intellectual Property or
Copyrighted material.

Will you please confirm that these products are not going to land us in
hot water with Yamaha?

Thanks in advance. I'd much rather contact you directly than ask Yamaha
and possibly create an issue between you and them.

Thanks, Bounce.

I haven't had enough coffee to think well this morning.

ONE person needs to say "I'll send that message" so we don't email bomb Techspark.

I sent the message to Techspark. Waiting for incoming mail...........

Jamie from Techspark answered my email by copying and pasting part of the disclaimer directly from their web site. The copy paste includes the line that I previously quoted. It would seem to this layman that they are using deceptive wording to get around copying service manuals. If you look at the contents of "their" various manuals they are an exact copy of the OEM © manuals. The way I read their babble is if they don't call it a Factory Service Manual it is fair game to copy and resell. In spite of their high quality disclaimer I'm not so sure they would fare well if they were invited to tell it to the judge.

We currently do not sell "factory service manuals" on this site. The software listed is in no way affiliated with or sponsored by any manufacturers listed on the site.

They can upgrade their disclaimer by adding this:

Nope...People need to learn to pay attention. Maybe that should be the question in order to join: "Where is the only place a genuine Yamaha manual may be purchased new?

HotRodZilla: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.

73jagman: It is 'Jagman', Newb to the Forum.

HotRodZilla: What... is your quest?

73jagman: To seek the membership in this Great Forum.

HotRodZilla: What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen FJR?

73jagman: What do you mean? An American or European FJR?

HotRodZilla: Huh? I... I don't know that.

[he is thrown over]

HotRodZilla: Auuuuuuuugh.

Sir BeemerDons: How do know so much about FJRs?

73jagman: Well, you know these things when you read the Rules and "New Owners Read This" Posts, you know.

 

[HotRodZilla]

See BWV you're off...You forgot the French FJR and the different Generations. Some say earlier GenIs are "quicker" while the others are "faster." Also, straight line or twisties, WOT or just cooking along. With the CC engaged or not.

So many questions and so many answers. Those could never be placed in the rules and understood.

However, "Don't buy stuff that's been stolen from Yamaha because it can get the Forum in trouble for supporting the theft" is pretty clear. I don't give people Hell for oil threads, previously asked questions and most tire questions. I figure by now, most everything has been asked at least twice. I even did it once or twice.

However, I never asked, "Where do I find an electronic manual," because at the time, I read the rules and only Yamaha made a legal one. Now Haynes has jumped in the mix.

I do like the Monty Python reference though.

 

[verranth]

Would a Futurama reference be wasted here? ...perhaps I should just ...

along, and twist harder.

 

[Top_Speed1]

I need a shop manual on women, and I don't give a flying fawk if it's copyrighted or not!

 

[bwv]

French FJR? hehehee...

Manual for Women.... hehehehe.. can we get an official licensed one?

i'm gonna stop here.

hehehehee

 

[Lauren_TK]

A manual for women? I could write one, but what would be the point?

When has a man ever read a manual?

 

[bwv]

Your are possibly an exception to the rule (or maybe you are one of Them using reverse psychology on us simple males?)...

I appreciate your willingness to share, and if written, I would read it... cover to cover... I promise.

BUT even if you did write one, an honest one, in good faith, that answered all of our questions... The Others would never allow that information to fall into our hands...It would alter the balance of power, and quite possibly, civilization, forever.

(I have a wife and 2 daughters... they simply wouldn't allow such a thing)

And I'm not sure I could handle the truth...

 

[HotRodZilla]

You guys are not thinking like women. A manual for them would be fine. But you'd have to change it every 15 minutes. Kinda like electronics on steroids.

 

[garyahouse]

Ionbeam: took a while to read that disclaimer addition, but it was a hoot.

Youdaman.

Concerning the need for manuals:

There are so many qualitiy how-to's on this website, I've come to wonder: who needs a manual? I bought one, but have rarely ever used it. All the info you will ever need is contained right here. And even though ya can look forward to getting chewed on when ya step outa line around here, I've never made a request on this website that wasn't answered thoroughly and thoughtfully by the members of this forum.

And concerning Zilla and his pointed words: once ya get past the long arm of the law, he has a heart of gold (though the forum doesn't dare admit it...)

 

[FabricGATOR]

There's only two things I don't understand about women....

Everything thye say, and every thing they do.

 

[Fred W]

So wait... a "Service Manual" for women? Wouldn't that qualify as Pr0n?

 

[Redfish Hunter]

Okay, this thread is veering uncontrolled toward a Split Off Topic and we have not heard anything back from the OP. Nothing. Why has 73jagman not at least acknowledged us? We were kind enough to answer his question while gently urging him to re-read the rules and he does not have enough respect to even grace us with a simple "thank you"?

I am sort of hoping that 73jagman is just a bit embarrassed over our heartwarming enthusiasm. On the other hand if the FBI has arrested him for pirating downloads off the internet...

One likely possibility:

You are trying to unravel a really nasty electrical problem.

One pretty unlikely possibility:

You need to delve deep into the mechanical innards.

That is why we keep Fred W and ionbeam on the payroll!

You only need to post the question, and the deepest secrets of the FJR "innards" shall be revealed.

Sorry sir, but this Forum has that covered also. If the information is not here, it is not available anywhere.

 

[FJRMGM]

Well, I for one would like to go on record as saying: "yes, I like to service women..."
