Yamaha FZ750 Service info.

The items marked * I would leave to a Yamaha dealer or mechanic. Unless you've been shown the approved method. You can easily get these wrong and cost yourself time and money. Any questions, mail me or use the BBS on Arch's Website.

The items marked ** requires the use of specialist tools. Either a fork leg holding tool, carb balance gauges or other such items. Again, this is for your own benefit, this I have learnt the hard way. Again email me if you have a query or want to see other things added to it.

This service info is obtained from a Yamaha Service manual referring to a 1985 model, though to my knowledge, the differences between this and later machines are mainly cosmetic and slight differences in the engine / carbs.
