Where Did You Get Your Service Manual From?

RiderOnTheStorm · February 26th, 2012, 01:55 PM

Title says it all...

I'd like to be able to work on my bike and have the best possible understanding so I think the service manual is the way to go. I am just trying to decide between paying more money to get it from Kawi or if it worth an eBay buy...

Where did you get yours??

I bought mine off eBay for $5. Paid the guy through Paypal and he emailed me the bookmarked file. I'm pretty sure it's illegal not to "buy" it, so my guess is it's his ass not mine if anything happens. I never torrent or anything like that, so I just paid for it. It's awesome though. Printed the whole thing off and I have all 500 pages in a binder in my garage.

I bought a hard copy off a guy on e-bay for 20$. Pretty hefty book but definitely good to have around, especially a printed version.

I went the digital route from ebay...got the service manual for my carb'ed 09, for the European EFI AND for the pre-gens!...ALL for a hefty sum of like $2 if memory serves

God bless ebay and no place else!

I bought mine from the dealership.

Well, actually online through Kawasaki but I had to select a dealer so I picked my local one. I never went there though, the manual was shipped directly to me.

I can send you a copy thru email...

reabo · February 27th, 2012, 04:00 AM

I downloaded mine of the net for £5.

For those who got the downloaded version.
Do you print it in color, or are black/white pictures good enough to see what you are looking at it (quality wise)?

Ordered through dealer. Then someone was kind enough to post it on here.

I would print in color if I had the option.
