I have that exact one and its great. I was able to print the whole pub and put it in a binder. This route is alot better than paying $90 for the same thing from the dealership. ::026::

I really need a PDF of the 2014 Super Tenere service manual. We are leaving for Mexico and point south this fall on a new 2014 non ES and no way will I have room for the paper service manual. I have the older 12/13 manual and a '14 in Spanish....can someone point me in the right direction here for the English 2014 PDF!

I purchased one and put it in a cheap binder. eBay has one right now for $19.95 and they don't go for much more than that on average.

Here we go again.


Links to the Yamaha manual and rip-offs are in this thread. Here is the Yamaha one:

I paid for a bootleg download manual once. In addition to being illegal, what I got was for an outboard motor.

I have a 2014 ES (US spec). Would I need the XTZ12EE service manual?

I just ordered the LIT-11616-27-59 service manual from Bike Bandit for $75 (free shipping).

$93 for a service manual?!!? Is that normal?
For dealer pricing, yes. I paid that and ordered my manual before I even got the bike. It's not like they are printing 100,000 of them, the cost is somewhat relative to the number printed.

And my binding is loose on the rear pages too, which is annoying. The FJR one did not do that after 9 years and many, many uses.

I dont know if this helps but here is my copy of the 2012-2013 Super T manual. This is the actual service manual that is straight from Mother Yamaha, herself.


You should be able to download it.

Bad move and a threat to the forum.
That's a copyright violation, we know there are Yamaha employees on the site, and the Yamaha legal department has in the past gone after this type of violation.

I removed the offending post and any link references. It's been referred to in other posts in this thread, but providing any links or uploads of the FSM is strictly prohibited.

Bought other OEM PAPER manuals from this site: (Good prices)
Almost certainly an off-shore business violating copyright (note that the site has absolutely no contact information) but a good deal if the manuals are high quality. (I just bought a "Indian edition" textbook for my daughter's business class that cost $18 shipped to my door when the local university bookstore wanted $275+tax - my desire to respect copyright laws has limits too.)

Here's all the contact info you could ask for:

Seems to be a random dude in Brooklyn. At least you know the shipping isn't international. :)

I hope the URL vendor I posted is legal. The site looks legal and the manual for my wife's Honda 2014 CTX700 DCT looks to be honda made. Quality looks OEM so I assumed it is but the vendor just has a lower priced source.

When I receive it are there any clues on how to tell if I bought an "black market" phony of a "gray market" imported manual?

No. There are overseas contract outfits which will take any document you provide and print up 1 or 10K copies in a matter of days that are essentially indistinguishable from the original. Honda and Yamaha don't sell $90 manuals through their dealers and then undercut them by legally authorizing $30 paper copies and $5.95 CD copies. This is one of those things where if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
