Title: 2004 GS500F repair manual?
Post by: codynotes on October 04, 2007, 09:47:38 PM
Is there a repair manual for the 2004 GS500F? The Clymer manual only covers models up to 2002. There is a Haynes manual that covers to 2006, but it seems to be out of print and I can't find it anywhere; it's not even listed on the Haynes site anymore.

How can there be no manual for this bike?

Yeah, they have one used on the U.S. Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Suzuki-GS500-Twin-Haynes-Manuals/dp/1844255972/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-4498479-3964059?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191624238&sr=8-1.

The problem is, I live in Hawaii and the used sellers always ship it media mail no matter what you tell them to do -- and then it takes twelve weeks to arrive.

I would be willing to bet that the U.K. Amazon doesn't actually have the copy they're advertising. It says 4-6 weeks, but if you order it I bet they'll end up telling you it's out of print and it just hasn't been removed from the database. If you go to the Haynes website, I can't find any mention of a GS500 manual.
