          Factory, buy used, pirate, EBAY, whatever is necessary. The other two cover many different bikes and can give you false information. On cars, I'd choose Chilton, if it was for a specific car only.

            All the above, plus factory manual if you can find it, and of course a large dose of forum wisdom. All the manuals sort of suck but in different ways, so oftentimes you can sort of triangulate the issue by blending the scraps of information into a more or less intelligible whole.

              Exactly and precisely. When I was 18, it was either/or. Almost half a century later, I can afford 'All of the above.'

              2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

                I's lucky, back in "81" when I started working on my own bikes, I borrowed my dealer's factory, 3 ring binder, GS1100E manual. Took it to my workplace and page by page copied the whole thing, then had my own 3 ring binder service manual. Still got it.... Gosh that was a bunch of copying.

                  I did that on my home PC and printer (from basscliff). I had to resize every page as well. It was winter and I had just got my first bike in 24 years, so it was a labor of love.

                  Also of knowledge. How many people can say that they've read every page of the shop manual?

                    I remember basscliff, he was quite a good fellow. I've read my shop manuals, sometimes with a feeling I hope I never have certain problems.
