Did you actually manage to get a pdf version of the manuals for a 98 as I am in the same boat, I have a 98 but the pdf sevice and parts manual on here is for 99-02 FI bikes. If you did find one for the 98 carb where did you find it if I may ask
Well, i don't remember where, but if you send me your e-mail adress, I can post it for you. I've tried to send it as an attachment, but didn't work.
