 For unknown reasons, Yaesu no longer even has a page for discontinued 
product manuals. User-supported equipment gradually becomes orphaned if 
it's not _very_ desirable, which leaves the buyer with other choices 
next time... (hint, Yaesu!)
As Nate mentioned:
You can still find manuals at <http://www.mods.dk>, but _free_ downloads 
are much restricted unless you wish (and they'd love for you) to send 
them something new, or contribute cash to help support the site. One 
manual in 4 days, or one other mod/fix document a day. On the left 
side, select [Yaesu], then at the top right, select [Manuals].
This will get you to <http://www.mods.dk/index.php?ListManuals=yaesu>, 
and there are both high-(116MB) and low-res (8.4MB) versions. Select 
carefully, since once you click one, your ticket is punched for today... 
 There are also a schematic, the OpsMan, and a Crystal Filter PDF.

NASA got organized, and took our dreams to the Moon.
In an inspired stroke, NASA included the redirected talents
