Posted May 19, 201015 yr Tried to search for this. Prefer actual book-in-hand, rather than download. For 78 XS400 2e. Is one or other preferred; seems that the Clymer is more year and model specific and am leaning to that (both even better). Thanks.

Thanks. i own both clymers and haynes, but the latest project DT250 has me laughing my tail off looking in the haynes - no instructions are offered for testing coils, condensers, etc, because the operation calls for a piece of "specialized equipment", a multimeter!!!!!!(no one is suspected to own such a device)-- (3 USD at harbor freight)

The Haynes covers more years/models for my bike but seems to sometimes have more detailed photo/pics. In the end, get both. I like to compare things to do in both to double check.
May 20, 201015 yr Moderator you can't beat the official yamaha service manual. I have 4 haynes and 1 clymer (which i've never used) and generally use the haynes for mucky fingers and writing in, but always refer to the yam for torque settings etc
