Link seller gave me. I can rehost somewhere else if stops working.

Bought this and thought I might share with you guys. They are all PDFs inside of a .rar file so you unzip then open with Adobe Reader.

Site owner edit: I do not support this because I am sure I will have liability for copyright infringement.  You can pm him or email him or call him and breathe heavily to him.  Just leave the site out of it.

I think you should delete this as this site does not support theft of files   
These are not legit copies. If you want legit copies then support this site and buy from Amazon

[weedahoe]

Yeah but these files are already available for free from simply using Google

[codajastal]

Then use google and dont post them here. This site looks down on these type of posts afaik

[jestercinti]

Agree with Cods.  A no-no.   

Use Google as you wish, but do not post dishonest links here...

i have posted before but part shark has PDFs of many factory manuals

[catch2otwo]

Ive got the pdf version of the service manual for my 89.  If anyone needs it, shoot me a pm

I downloaded the 89-99 GS500E PDF manual from carl salter found by google search from their hugh list of free manuals some years ago.

I had a GS500F manual also PDF that covered all years that I downloaded from Parts Shark but seem to have lost in changing computers a while back.  Parts Shark still has manuals for Kawi and Yami but have deleted all the Suzi manuals for some reason.

I downloaded that link from the first post to open w/o saving and it was a rar file that wouldn't open, didn't mess with it just deleted it.

I paid for these so I think its within my rights to share them. I use 7zip to unrar dont know if that made a difference.

if you paid for them then you got had. It does not give the right to share if they are illegally obtained but apparently no-one seems to care anymore so go your hardest peeps

[rharding91]

Why are you so dead set they are illegally obtained? I dont recall saying where i got them from just that i purchased them.

[codajastal]

Because they were never officially sold and released in digital form hence they are not legit and the company that officially produces them make no money off them.

[weedahoe]

So what you're say then is since the company never officially made them in digital format but rather some person took the time to make them digital then that person owns it actual and not the company right?

Whatever you buy, unless there is a specific license for re-distribution, you can't until the copyright expires.

It is OK for you to loan a book to a friend. It is not OK to duplicate that book and give it away.

Fair-Use laws allow portions to be copied for purposes of editorial content (as in a review) or some for instructional use.
Fair-Use allows you to copy it for your own use or backup/archival purposes. I have all the manuals. I can copy a section to use in the Bike Cave so I do not damage the original. I can not copy a section and give it away or sell it.

If you bought a book or PDF, you don't own the content and can not duplicate it and distribute it.

If sites offer free (possibly bootleg or illegal copies) then let them. I feel we should stay legal here.

It is like buying parts from your local dealer. If you don't support your local dealer, soon you won't have one. If you don't support authors and printing companies by purchasing a book, soon you won't be able to get them.

Being in the software writing business for many many years, I have seem many excellent companies and programs go out of existence because people bootlegged it all over the place and the company made squat for all their work.

PS to Weed: Just because someone scans a book does not give them permission or the right to sell it. Go copy a Harry Potter book and start selling  your copies. You won't last long. Due to the limited demand got GS500 manuals, Suzuki probably doesn't care and sees no need to spend thousands to prosecute someone for some obscure manual for a bike no longer manufactured. Prosecution depends a lot on if they would get their money back, the financial impact of the illegal copying and other factors.

It's okay Addidas. I was just teasing Codajastal. That's why I put a smiley behind it.

You guys are getting a little hostile over this PDF.

I'm not getting into the right or wrong of this but I don't think Haynes is going out of business anytime soon and I'm sure they know their books are floating around in many download servers and being sold on ebay. Ebay has a copyright department and things in violation can easily and quickly be removed it they wanted it to be.

My thought is a book with poor pictures and poorly written info (written at the time of when the bike actually came out) for a bike that essentially is 23 years old really isn't the top of their priority or concern.

He seems immune to teasing. We have to come up with something more himiliating to do to him - like this:

Thankyou.
Exactly my point.

We have an insurance company in the USA called Progressive.  Their add campaign has this woman named 'flo' that is trying to save people money.  The commercials are either funny or annoying, depending on your mood.
