I don't  think this site condones free downloadable manuals....one they are copywrited, two they sell manuals.....

The site you mentioned will only have older manuals.

PM me!

I've always found that odd. Most manufacturers could give a rip either way about the service manuals... but they dearly care about their aftermarket sales.

I figure, the easier to find the manuals are, the less bikes end up in the trash, and the more parts they sell. OEMs make good money on parts sales; it's a reliable 50% profit business (whereas OEM sales can be money losers.)

As it is, there are sites now that charge for factory service manuals in PDF form, and don't give a cent back to the OEMs. That's real piracy and a real problem for OEM lawyers to squash.
