I'm looking for a service manual for my 96 VMAX first 3 engine/vin #s 8CA. A parts retailer told me the part # for the manual I wanted was LOT-12618-VX-01 VX500/600 (U-W). I tracked this manual down on eBay and ordered it but under the machine identification page 8CA is not listed so I'm assuming the manual doesn't cover my sled.
The way these service manuals are titled makes absolutely no sense to me...I'm used to being able to state the make model and year and just get a manual but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
I'm currently looking at this manual on ebay
but I don't want to order it because I'm unsure if this is even the right manual due to the strange titling system for Yamaha manuals.
Can someone please help me find the correct and up to date service manual for my sled.
An explanation of the Yamaha service manual title system would be great if someone knows how that works. It would help me to help myself if I need to.
I've attached a photo of the machine identification page for the manual I did purchase. Perhaps someone would like to trade or buy it?
