Not for me. Two problems one its an online manual and two it would seem to cost £18 / year to view.

Well done to Nippy Normans the manual arrived this morning. Ordered Thursday evening delivered Monday morning. I'll give the manual 8/10. Its a paperback. Content looks like any other Haynes manual I have owned. What lets it down is the quality of the paper its printed on. There are two sections, small one on pre-ride checks and the other wiring diagrams / tools and workshop tips that are printed on nice white paper with colour photos. These two sections are really easy to read and clear. The rest is printed on newspaper quality off white paper with B&W photos. Shame. However it doesn't change the information in the manual so its better than nothing.

Oh, another 'fine' Haynes product on nasty crappy paper then....!! Shame, as they appear to be sacrificing quality for cost on their latest manual releases. :(

Blimey, a scan of a crap quality original really isn't worth considering. Besides, stop being a tightwad and buy your own manual......!! ;)
