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

Maybe you could find a used factory manual... for me its a must have for any bike I own..
No way can a Clymers compare...

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.  :cooldude: RIDE SAFE.

And, they are usually thick enough to put under the side stand to make the bike more upright! :crazy2:
