Where can I find my owner's manual?

#1 Unread post by Jadien »

So, I got my first bike and the guy says he has to look through his nephew's room to find the owner's manual. I say, "Cool, I can pick it up next weekend."

Now, I have a hankerin' to find one on the web and can't find it anywhere. I know there has to be something online that I can download (preferrably free) and look at.

Thusly, I come to my one-stop answer shop for help....

HELP!!

Thanks,
Dave

hehe actually I have been working on a huge motorcycle owners manual archive and will be putting them in a zip or rar file for download, your about a week early. 8) Unfotunatly I can't find anything on the 2005 gs500 but I'll keep looking.
I have too much time on my hands for it to be healthy. :mrgreen:
hope that guy actually has the manual.

Alternately you could shell out the funds for the workshop manual, which will have all the owners manual info + the extra stuff that you need to know to do a lot of your own maintenance.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I would start at a dealership. They tend to sell that sort of thing, alternately there are tons of websites that'll sell them. Thing to remember is you're looking at about $100... but if you follow the instructions carefully and take your time doing stuff you could save yourself thousands in maintenance costs at the dealership.

When they're charging $100+ an hour to work on your bike you're looking at $100 to get your oil changed and chain adjusted not counting parts.
