Re: Yamaha G1 Service manual
Yes! But I downloaded mine from Yamaha's web site when they still allowed it.

Re: Yamaha G1 Service manual
Hi Tony,
So, Yamaha offered the manual in pdf format at one time? That would be the way to offer it, print the page you need and done. Save a tree. Don't mind the $49.50 price tag for the book, but the $22.00 charge between shipping and handling, ouch. |

Re: Yamaha G1 Service manual
They didn't offer it it was a view on their site and probably did not know they were down loadable. I got some others on e-bay. The G2/G9 and the HD manuals were on E-bay and fairly reasonable. I did not know they were copywritten and I was almost giving copies away. So I had to stop it. They are still on e-bay sometimes for about $10.00.

Re: Yamaha G1 Service manual
For those of you who DO have a manual for the G1, is it worth the money for someone who is brand new to working on golf cars? I mean, does it tell you step by step how to do things, like a Chilton manual? Since I am on a limited monthly income, I hate to spend that kind of money and find out it is useless.
Also, is the G2 close enough, mechanically, to the G1, to be able to use that manual (the price is a LOT cheaper on ebay). Thanks for any answers. |

Re: Yamaha G1 Service manual
The G1 manual is an excellent resource for information. I highly recommend it, and use mine all the time for specifications and procedures that I am not familiar with. Definitely worth the money. it has step-by-step procedures, but it was written for dealership techs with good mechanical skills and proper tools, not a total newbie. If you have been tinkering on mechanical stuff for awhile, you'll be fine. The G1 is a totally different animal than the G2 and up series. G1's are 2-stroke engines, the newer ones are 4-stroke and are completely different. This is where the manual is an invaluable resource to help you.

Re: Yamaha G1 Service manual
Thanks for the reply GMB. I have been working on my cars and trucks for many decades, starting with my 1972 Fiat; including belts, hoses, starters, alternators, water pumps, tuneups, fluid changes, some electronics. If I didn't know what I was doing, I used a Chilton's manual to learn or asked a few of my 'wrencher' friends for advice.
I have never worked on a yard tractor or any other 2 cycle engine. So, this is all new to me. I am just hoping that this manual is as explanatory as a Chilton's auto manual. If I run into problems, can I post pictures of the G1 itself and ask for advice here? If so, where is the best place to post my questions? |

Re: Yamaha G1 Service manual
If you were able to work on a Fiat , you will have no problems working on a buggy.
Sorry, couldn't help myself. I used to own an import car repair shop, and I found Fiats to be something of an, um, challenge for me If you have any problems or questions, post them here. We will be glad to help |
