I was wondering about the Factory sevice maual that the dealership mechanics use. Do you think it's worth the money? How do I go about getting one?

What is it like? Did it meet your expectations?
If I ever have to do any major engine repair...I'm going to have to have something more than a Haynes manual. I hope the OEM will fill the void. And I'm going to need a bunch of tools that I may only use once.

Definitely worth the money if you want to work on your bike. Will usually pay for itself the first time you do a repair. I suggest the Honda and Haynes manuals in that order. Clymer manual not as good since they didn't update a lot of information on the changes between the first and second generations.

I went to one of those download sites already and looks like I need my own computer. I dont have one. My phone is my only computer for now. And this one site cant give you an exact description of what you are going to buy. I dont trust that. Some bad reviews for this site. Like having to download another program that you have to pay for to get the book you paid for. I'll just stick to paper for now.

This kid down the road has a used Suzuki s40 I think(the one cylinder cruiser) He just bought it this week. I can tell his helmet is Chinese junk and his gloves are the Hardy brand from Harbor Freight. That's all the safety gear he has. Today ....Satarday...he has one of those weather proof..water proof...bluetooth radio....but no new safety gear.
He is just a kid so I think I'm going to have a talk with him about my opinion on riding a motorcycle.

Is the clutch pulled all the way in? Is there 3/4" or less of freeplay at the end of the clutch lever before resistance is felt? Does it only do it when stopped and the front brake is engaged?
