From a press release:

Yamaha Manuals Go On-Line

Mount Laurel, NJ – There are more than three million used Yamaha motorcycles on America’s highways AND most of them without the owners’ manuals they came with. Add to that, the number of older models of Yamaha outboard motors, ATVs, sport boats and snowmobiles still in the market, and that’s a lot of missing manuals! In an effort to service their customers, Yamaha has hired Crestec Inc. to get these official service manuals into the hands of any owner who wants one – ordered through the Internet and available in hard copy. Within the year, the company plans to make the books available electronically.

Crestec, with offices in Los Angeles and Mt. Laurel, NJ, is well-equipped to handle the printing and digital transactions necessary to make the Yamaha plan a reality. Crestec LA is a Document Engineering™ company with both traditional and digital print-on-demand capabilities. This full-service printer also has a call center and extensive fulfillment capabilities. Their New Jersey counterpart, Crestec Digital Inc., has provided the Internet know-how through its suite of content management and e-commerce tools, allowing Yamaha owners to order any manual from a database of literally thousands covering more than 7500 products, going back almost twenty years. Orders placed on the Yamaha Web site or at www.yamahapubs.com are shipped within 48 hours. As in the past, manuals will continue to be available at Yamaha dealerships nationwide.

Both Crestec LA and Crestec Digital (NJ) are divisions of Crestec Company Ltd. of Hamamatsu Japan, a global network of companies with twenty years of experience in the content management/document engineering business. Crestec Los Angeles and Crestec Digital partner together to provide a full range of communication services in traditional printing, digital printing, and Internet services.
