Re: Two Yamaha Service Manuals .... I bought both ..... Get Which One Is Real

I think the one on the left is the same one I have which is supposed to be "real"

How do the interiors compare? That's all that matters.

PRO OEM

1 No Xerox marks on pages
2 Binding much better / stronger
3 Images a little cleaner
4 Electrical Schematic Color and Clarity Clearer
5 Support The Legal Owner Of The Manual (This site does not support bootleg copies)

PRO NON OEM

6 Cheaper
7 Faster Delivery that OEM

As I already owned the NON OEM (Copy) of the Service Manual before I bought the OEM one my reasons are 2 and 4 ... but I only bought the NON OEM copy as I did not know it was bootleg until I looked closely at it.

Interesting ...

My non OEM 2014 copied service manual LIT 11616 27 59

Plastic blinding (Black back cover / transparent Top Cover)

11 through holes in the plastic binding

My OEM 2014 service manual LIT 11616 27 59

Paper covers front and rear / Glue binding to cover

7 through holes for placing service manual in a binder ...

QUESTION

Is there a Yamaha OEM Binder you can get for the service manual?

or

Anyone have a recommendation for a nice binder for it?

Same one as I ordered and received through my local Yamaha dealership. Over the years I've had some OEM shop manuals that were a stack of loose hole-punched pages in need of a binder, others have been regular bound books. Sometimes, they did both based on who was contracted to publish the manual at any given time.

Same as the one I have, that is going with my bike when it sells...
