As noted new here. Im looking at RD ownership. looking at supporting manuals in order to look after said bikes. Am aware of the Haynes manual, which im going to guess is pretty good- as It was written when they were just that - useful. ( not full of comments of take to main dealer) also seen this manual, also suggests its a genuine Yamaha service book ? are they any better / clearer - anyone used one ? Link below guessing its the bike equivalent to a Bentley manual that I have for a couple of cars. hvccycle.net/yamaha-service-manual-for-yamaha-rd400-lit-11616-rd-40/l saw they had a RZ 350 version as well cheers Tony

Haynes manual for Aircooled 250/350 is pretty confusing… useful for general pictures but the problem is the manual was written for a yds7/yr5 with adaptions for the Rd and every year of the RD 73-75 was substantially different… Fortunately you can find the dealer parts list with exploded drawings and some service manuals in pdf form

Not quite as confusing but tbh putting the E/F in the C/D manual as a supplement chapter doesn’t really do justice to all the frame, rolling gear and engine differences
