Gauging interest...... GS500 manual in PDF format?

[jbeaber]

There is a site with links to damn near any manual you want....  PM me if you want more info....

We're talking about the owner's manual that's supposed to come with the GS500, not an optional repair manual right?

I recently made a copy of what I think is the official Suzuki gs500 manual.  I found it among the items that cheesy gave to me along with my bike.

I can't be absolutely sure that its the official manual because there is no cover page (or cover)... but what I have are very thin (onion skin... thinner than newsprint) 8.5x11 3-hole punched pages with chapters 1-12.  

There is no copyright information listed anywhere, and the manual covers '89-'93 models which is what leads me to think that it is probably an official manual.

.................

Sounds like you have the factory service manual for years 89 - 93 and your'e missing the first white page that has the chapter index and copyright notice on it.

I have the chapter index... but there is no copyright to be seen on it

It's that little blurb you or cheesey must have whited out  :lol:

Just kidding, in all seriousness, you own that particular copy. And you probably have the legal right ro make a "backup copy for archival puposes" correct? So make your backup copy for archival purposes, and only "distibute" the PDF privately (via email, not anonymous download) to people who claim to have the original copy but want an "archived backup copy" as well, if you catch my drift

fyi that thing isn't a shop manual... a haynes is 10x more informative.  (this is from what i recall...)
