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?

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...
