Hi Guys,
New owner here. I'm looking for a repair manual. I see Clymer manuals for sale on EBay. I'm not a huge fan of Clymer, but the OEM manuals are a little pricy. Is the Clymer manual any good?
Thanks,
Jim Moore
Jax, FL

Speaking of surrounded, maybe let us know, approximately, where you are. Some of use have special tools, like the 6-channel vacuum tester for carb sync, and would help you use them.

I Will praise the Clyner manual for 1 thing-pictures V drawings. On my 88 G/W I do have both. When I had my 99 I/S I had both-factory and Clymer. Those manuals work good in conjunction with each other. RIDE SAFE. |

And, they are usually thick enough to put under the side stand to make the bike more upright!  |
