No. Pay me $20 and the damn factory manual is yours. Heck I'll even ship it at my cost. The damn thing is useless... Prefer the haynes or Clymers by a mile.
Cool.

$60? No. I would rank it third behind Haynes and Chiltons. Mine came with the bike. If it didn't, I would have just bought the other two.

Thanks, for the tips :thumb:
Hollywood of Suzuki tried to sell me the $60 one this morning. I am so glad I turned it down after reading Srinath and Ratzo's replies.

I found an, in stock copy of the new Clymer manual at Marina Suzuki.
The thing doesn't even mention the 01+ carbs. :x Man' the older style floats look huge :o

I have the factory manual and am pleased with it so far, mind you my bike has 4000km on it and hasn't really seen a wrench yet. Why is it that clymer or chilton manuals are preffered to the factory one . I am a technician and have found factory manuals far exceed aftermarket ones,
especially when it comes to automotive manuals.

Please fill me in, I might be interested in purchasing a clymer or haynes if it can be justified. Oh, by the way, my factory manual cost me $80 CAD.
