I have an 05 and it looks like they haven't updated the manual for my bike yet :mad:.  Oh well, I guess we wait.

Try a Haynes 89 -06.Amazon.com had them.The paper back should be $20-$25 new.The hard back is around $70.

Sorry for bumping an old thread.

Is this Haynes manual, still the best answer for a 2007 GS500F?

Have you found any discrepancies with it? I'm the complete opposite of mechanically handy. If I get a book with instructions, I'm following it to a T. I'll be totally lost if the book says there's supposed to be 4 bolts for something and I only find 3. I may curl into the fetus position and start crying if I don't find what the book says.

poostik,

From what I have gathered so far, it is on spec.  I still have a long way to go and from what I read on this forum there is not much change to earlier models that is important.

I am lucky that I have a friend that wouldn't need the manual to do any part of the service (bastard!) - he could do it blindfolded.
