On my 87 savage the flasher is on the right side under the tank.  Hope this helps.

I have found a manual for a 1986-2004 also, but I have a 2005 s40.  I have tried to find the differences but cannot see any real noticble ones.  Does anyone have a list of things that changed from when they changed the name, or was that just it, that they changed the name in '05?

Somewhere along in there they added the Flash to Pass button that flashes the high beams, and the four-way flashers. I think that is about when they arranged the start circuit to turn off the headlight when the starter runs, too.

I still think you ought to actually buy the manual, instead of steal it.

Actually, though I did not know you are a writer, I do know what "public domain" is. A document or work of art enters the public domain whenever its copyright expires, or its owner releases it to the public domain. US copyright now extends for over fifty years, courtesy of a major effort by Disney to protect its copyrights to Mickey Mouse, among many others. Unless the service manual to which you refer has been officially released by its owners, it almost certainly is NOT in the public domain. Copyright laws vary by country.

That's a fairly accurate description of the copyright law, and it is probably true that the Internet site that publishes some work still under copyright has technically violated that law. The Internet, however, has changed things. I doubt that any publishing house, outside of Disney, which has tried to prosecute a church, the Boy Scouts, and Boys and Girls club under this law (for using things like mouse ears to entertain children), is going to bother going after an Internet site for publishing a decades-old manual. Having spent over 30 years covering court cases as a journalist, I suspect that a busy judge (at least the ones I know) would calendar that case for sometime in 2025. That's the technical reality. As to the moral compass, I am not a bit concerned about using readily available material that a publisher has been making money on for decades. Of course, everyone has a right to make his/her own moral judgements, and I do respect yours. If a new bike were being introduced, and a team of writers and a publishing house invested their time and money to produce a sorely needed manual on that new product, I would pay them for that effort.
