Your favorite brand of motorcycle manual?
I have a Clymer manual for my F4i andI amhappy with it. I am starting to collect some 929/954 parts now and want to get a manual for a 929. Anybody have any experience using repair manuals other than Clymer?

Ive delt with Honda OEM manuals, Haynes, and Clymer and so far its a toss up between Clymer and Honda. I always reccomend Clymer thou, they seem to always cover more in depth info

factory manual FTW! Always thought Clymer / Haynes were a little too general. And I prefer illustrations over crappy pictures, which the Clymer manuals I have seen seem to have a lot of. I prefer a manual that's written specifically for my bike. I want to know every factory spec and tolerance... afterall, it's the factory guys that designed the parts, they're the ones who will know exactly how many inch pounds to put on every little fastener. And I like seeing all the part numbers of the exotic factory tools they recommend too. Every once in a while, I'll actually buy one!
