Workshop Manual
« on: May 17, 2015, 05:11:02 PM »
I have downloaded the ST1300 workshop manual in pdf format.

Is the Haynes Workshop manual any better in detail and explanation than the downloaded version, or is it much the same?

I was thinking of ordering the Haynes manual, but didn't know if it was a waste of money.

It's handy to be able to take it out to the bike for reference.  It's also easier to jump to physical bookmarks, and you've got it without needing to boot the 'puter.
You have probably found for yourself the pdf is photo-reproduced, and therefore not searchable.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

I think I ran an Adobe OCR over the document to make it searchable, and you can always print the pages you need.

Thanks guys.  I have the downloaded version. However, I think it would still be handy to have the printed version.
