I still have a Haynes '89 to '02 Service & Repair manual I need to get rid of.   I had it posted in the "For Sale" section.   No takers yet.  Make me an offer!

I have an '07. I think there were some significant changes between then and now, otherwise I would.

It's useful to me because I want to do all my own maintenance. There's little point in paying someone else to fix something that I can fix on my own. It really just comes down to how much you want or are willing to do on your own.

i would love to work on my bike on my own. i've always been the kind of person to take some random thing aparts jsut to see how it looked and put it back together, or bury in the yard things that i couldnt put aback together  . im just wondering if it common sense things like changing your oil

Working on your own crap is In my opinion better, You get to know your ride alot more than just turning on the key and going. I personaly dont use manuals just kinda got in a did it.

The manual is indispensable for things like torque specifications and detailed drawings and pictures of how things fit together, like the transmission.
