1989-1997 Yamaha XTZ Models XTZ750 Service Repair Workshop Manual PDF
VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION:
The Yamaha XTZ750 Super Tenere, introduced in 1989, was Yamaha's answer to the growing adventure touring motorcycle segment dominated by the BMW R100GS. Born from Yamaha's extensive desert racing heritage and the legendary Tenere single-cylinder enduro lineage, the XTZ750 adopted a unique 749cc liquid-cooled 45-degree V-twin engine derived from Yamaha's successful Paris-Dakar race machines. The large fuel tank, tall windscreen, wire-spoke or cast wheels, and long-travel suspension made it a genuinely capable long-distance tourer that could handle rough terrain as competently as interstate highways. Its shaft final drive offered low-maintenance touring convenience. The XTZ750 became known for exceptional reliability, with many examples clocking well over 100,000 kilometers with proper maintenance. Produced through 1997, the Super Tenere built a loyal following among adventure riders, expedition travelers, and world tourers who appreciated its robust construction and forgiving riding characteristics.
