Title: Manuals Post by norman breedon on 07/22/15 at 12:44:32 Hi, I have a 2014 S40 for which I purchased a Suzuki manual. Is there any advantage to buying the Clymer as well? Thanks, Norman. :) |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by youzguyz on 07/22/15 at 12:55:22 Generally speaking, the OEM (the suzuki) manual is for motorcycle mechanics.. professionals. The Clymer manual is written with the "Do It yourself" mechanic in mind. |

I did not know that. I ordered a Zuki manual when I bought the bike. Had I found this place first, I think I woulda bought used. But the manual is just crucial. |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by norman breedon on 07/24/15 at 10:49:12 Thanks everybody, It seems that the factory manual is all I need. Norman. :) |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by KennyG on 07/24/15 at 14:11:06 Norman, Do you have a link to the factory manual? Kenny G |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by norman breedon on 07/24/15 at 15:42:25 Kenny, No I don't have a link but I do have the manual. Many thanks, Norman. |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/24/15 at 16:41:20 Hey, Norman,, welcome. I haven't seen anything about you. Knowing a little about your history and mechanical experience helps. First bike? And good going getting a genuine manual. Darn thing really helped. I Need a hard copy. This bunch saved my butt too. I'm not a carb guy.. |

I've never seen one. The Clymers and Owners Manual are all that's available online. ...if you mean a download link. |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by KennyG on 07/24/15 at 18:11:40 Norman, What I am asking is where did you get the factory manual? Kenny |
|
Title: Re: Manuals Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/24/15 at 18:22:10 I ordered mine from the parts counter when I bought the bike. |
|
Title: Re: Manuals Post by Kris01 on 07/24/15 at 18:35:04 That's probably the only place you'll find a factory manual. |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by norman breedon on 07/25/15 at 12:33:18 Kenny, I got mine from my local dealer. Wanted to give them the business. You can also get one from : Genuinesuzukimanuals.com for about the same price. Hope this helps, Norman. It is a comprehensive manual, by the way and covers all year models. |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by norman breedon on 07/25/15 at 12:45:40 Justin, I have been riding for more years than I care to admit. And have owned more bikes than I can recall if you know what I mean. The only beef I have with the bike is the design of the cylinder head. Having to split the camshaft bearing to torque the head bolts ???? >:( And also that silly plug to cover up their mistake. Other than that It is a great little bike and so easy to handle. My other bike at the moment is a 2005 Triumph Bonneville T100.(wash your mouth out Norman) ;-) Cheers everybody, Norman. |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by KennyG on 07/25/15 at 13:03:55 Norman, Thank You. I need to order from Ron Ayers soon and if they can get the manual fine, if not I will get it from the website you mentioned. I guess $80.00 is about the right price. I am sure there will be a lot of disagreement posted, but to me the Clymer's manual that I have is poorly printed and next to useless. Kenny |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by norman breedon on 07/25/15 at 13:09:57 While we are talking about technical stuff. Savage Greg has made a superb downloadable picture album. It is stunning in its detail and is probably better than any manual. If anybody has not seen this I feel it is a must for any do it yourselfer. Many thanks Greg, I learned so much from your effort that I have a pretty good picture of the mechanics of the bike and I have hardly touched it yet. Norman. |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by KennyG on 07/25/15 at 13:49:16 Norman, I downloaded the album from Savage Greg and really enjoy looking through it every now and then. Kenny G |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/25/15 at 14:49:47 Do I hafta download it to look at it.? |
|
Title: Re: Manuals Post by KennyG on 07/25/15 at 16:22:03 Justin, I am not sure if you have to download it to view it or not, but it is not a very big file. Kenny G |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/25/15 at 16:25:40 how about a link? |

Title: Re: Manuals Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/25/15 at 18:16:44 Thanks, I'll think about putting it on the kindle. Anyone have a reason why I shouldn't? |
