Assembly Instructions

Thank you for downloading the "YZF-R1"paper craft model. By simply

following this manual while referring to the names and numbers shown
on the parts sheets, you can assemble an authentic-looking replica of
the YZF-R1.

Assembly instructions: Twenty A4-sized sheets.

Paper craft: Twenty-two A4-sized sheets with 312 parts in all

These instructions apply only to the "YZF-R1". These Paper Craft parts
are easier to work with when printed out on strong, thick paper (like postcard
