Title: Where to download S4R workshop / service manual
Post by: wiggy_nz on August 06, 2010, 10:52:09 PM
Hi all....long time reader and I haven't posted many times.

Recently I purchased a 2004 S4R in mint condition (gunmetal grey with red wheels)  [thumbsup] and I would to be able to down a workshop / service manual.  I do not have a credit card so I cannot buy one online.  In the past I have downloaded manuals from the net for Ducati Monsters but I cannot find one for the S4R  :(

Thanks in advance

try this link

<link removed.   all the manuals are pretty clear about copying and disseminating.   If people want to PM each other, fine, but the DMF isn't going to be subject to some people's special brand of luck by being used as a vehicle to violate any laws>

Sweet link, I almost paid the $3 on duc.nu. Only problem is I really want it on paper and 540 pages will make me go thru at least 2 color cartridges

in a manual thread i posted where i got the S4 manual

would be similar and would prob provide most of the info you need

it would also give you a further place to start looking

i did a lot of google before i found mine

key words were 'workshop manual' also 'service manual' as depending on what side of the pond you live on will depend on its description

i would prob also just look for 996 manual

Haha...

Note to self: check file size before downloading. I just downloaded the pdf to my Droid phone. I was like, why is this taking so damn long? Then I read the thread and realized how large it was.  Thank goodness for the unlimited plan. Go Verizon. Haha.

If this is the 05 s4r manual, love u long time! I'll read it when I get home and transfer it to my pc.

the S4R is an actual scan of the orignal paperback version of it, all the ones i have are digital copies so the files are much much smaller.

Not to sure why you can t open it. It does say protected on each page when you open the file but it should still open.

Maybe someone else can shed some light on it.


I got it on cd, simply copied it to a computer and uploaded it to the link on the previous page and most seem to have been able to download it no problems.... unfortunately my computer technical skills are a little behind the 8 ball so i cant give to much info.

Yes, it is the workshop manual for 02-06 S4R
