    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I prefer the Clymer books. They seem to have a more thorough explanation of things.

Get a copy of the factory manual if you can.

Get a copy of the factory manual if you can.

The factory manual is the way to go. If you can find one on E-bay they usualy go for 45.00. I was trying to use my clymer, and having a hard time. When I came to something that was specific to my bike. The info just wasn't in it. You just can't fit 200-300 pages of info into a little paper back book.

If someone you know has a factory manual take it to a copy shop that will ignore the copywright for you. It will also help if they give you a break on the price. 13 cents a page per side can add up fast. I got mine copied for 3 cents a side.

Dear Einar,
Hello, Iam also new to this forum.What I found to be helpful when I restored an earlier bike(yamaha xs-2) was to have both manuals,I found that if i was struggling with an explanation, reading the other helped and reinforced the lesson.
A small additional cost, but the price of not having to strip back down was worth it for me.

Since you have a G model bike buy the clymer.
The haynes book you listed doesn't apply to your bike.

I believe all the G/ shaft models were 2 valve motors So Clymer gets the nod. Clymer also has color wiring diagrams
