- None of the two XL760 model years verified, which needs a check against the maker's own document, which the row names, and an engine figure; all two name a source below.
Some Yamaha numbers are measured sizes rather than the number in the model name: a GP760 is held as 753, a GP1200R as 1131, a GP1300R as 1296. None of these figures has been checked against a Yamaha document unless a cited source states it.
The Yamaha XL760 from 1998 to 1999, one square for each model year, a decade to a row; follow a square to its row.
