    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What is the best manual to help me with my GS 850? Clymer, Chilton,...

HELP!!!
 
Factory Manual. They are available off of ebay and at swap meets.

Steve
 
I have never had a copy of the factory manual, but have been able to compare two:

clymers , and haynes.


my manual is clymers, and the manual for my buddies GSX-F 750 is haynes.


We both find the haynes to be very cluttered, and they intermixed the models a lot in the step-by-step explanations.


clymers, I have been pretty satisfied with, although sometimes they haven't gotten into as much detail as i would have liked (it would be a fat book if it did), but it generally has pretty good pictures, and well laid out instructions.


NOTE: many manuals will state my well hated statement: Assembly is the reverse of these steps... :evil:
 
Zuki factory manaul has most info specific to your specific model and year, which means you need to make sure the manaul is for your specific model and year. All pictures will be specific to your model and year. One thing I dont like is it makes reference to factory tools and testers that you will not have. Can find a used Zuki factory manaul on ebay from time to time.

Clymers are readly available new from various book sellers online. Generally cover a couple models and a few years in one book. Has more dignostic help than the Zuki manaul. And is organized more for the how-to procedures, such as how to remove clutch.

I see benifit to having one of each.

Have not liked the Hayes manauls. Havent seen any Chilton for bikes.
