Title: Best avenue for a good service manual ('13 M796)
Post by: Charlie98 on March 01, 2016, 07:46:54 PM
Sorry if this is a common question... my search-fu must be weak...

The owner's manual is next to worthless, and I have the parts PDF... but I need a workable service manual.  I always had Clymer/Haynes books, or even the very good Honda manuals... what's out there for the modern Monster?

Could someone please take a risk for the forum and try this?

Step one requires giving up an email address.

I'll do it...

cancel that. I'll give up email, but not name addy phone and birthday.

I can't read anyway...why do I need a manual?

That is why I didn't do it.  Maybe use an enemy's email [evil]

As it turned out, I went with this one... and I actually got what I paid for.  It's a reasonably comprehensive online manual, I suppose it mimics the factory Duc manual, if not a direct copy of it (I've not seen it.)

Not real wild about it being web based, I'll have to work on getting a permanent copy...
