SwampNut Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Seems like a nice resource, to be able to see things in high res color, and watch videos. Are you able to print a section also? That wasn't apparent in their description. Handling my iPad with greasy fingers or gloved hands is not an option. $45 for permanent online access, $60 for online plus normal printed book.

tomek Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Factory workshop manuals can be found for free on www. And you can print specific pages. Trying to make sense out of wiring diagram while looking at your smartphone sucks. Search specific bike forums. They are way better than Clymer. Having said that usefulness depends on complexity of work to be done. For relatively simple things Clymer is OK, for something sophisticated like engine overhaul OEM workshop manual is worth its price. Counterfeit OEM workshop manuals can also also be found on eBay. In paper form or on CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 Just one bike. OEM paper only was actually more expensive than the all-access. If forced to pick, obviously electronic only is far more useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superhawk996 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Wow, great looking bike! I hope the seller isn't a crackhead. I've been thinking about a manual for the R5, but so far my curiosities have been solved by YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever figure out if you had changed the oil? I bought the manual, it's good. Well organized, super easy to search, and yes you can print sections. I much prefer to print things than to use a book. The book is harder to flip through, and you don't want to fuck it up with oil and shit. Printed paper can be laid out side by side to see a whole process, and you can fuck it up all you want. Also, I have a monster printer, so I can print them at nearly 3x the size of a book. That is incredibly useful for many things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 According to the manual, there's a filter and two screens, and a complex changing process. I'll run down to Screwy Louie's for a filter, they always have advice that's better than the manual. Pennzoil, Royal Purple, or Crisco?
