Owner's manual (user manual): goes for years at a time without being opened. Usually winds up getting lost.
Maintenance manual: Used every single time I work on the bike without exception.
Very, very different documents.
All the useful stuff in the owner's manual is also in the maintenance manual.
None of the useless stuff is in the maintenance manual.
I don't need to know how to operate the kill switch, reset the trip odometer or start the bike... but I do need to check the tightening torque on that obscure bolt I just loosened.
Make sense?
