Haynes manuals for our bikes

(1/4) > >>

AshimotoK0:
I have seen loads of negative comments about Haynes manuals on internet forums.
However, when I was at school and when a student, I rebuilt several CB250's, a 400/4, CD175A, CB72 and CB160 all using Haynes manuals and nothing else, as I coudn't afford the Genuine Honda 'shop' manuals.
OK ..  I admit there are some serious errors in there but having then got hold of the Honda manuals, they too had many serious errors and one gripe I have about the Honda ones is that they were never fully corrected, only supplemented with later model variants. OK some updates were available in Service Bulletins. Thanks to the likes of BryanJ etc these bulletins are still around in .pdf format but won't be found in the Shop Manuals AFAIK.

I did disect my CB750 Haynes manual and scan it and I have Haynes Manuls for most of my bikes that I would be prepared to mutilate in order to auto-feed scan them and put them in 'Alladins Cave'.. but I have to ask if anyone is interested in them first ... Is it only me on here who uses them?

I use the Haynes manuals together with Clymer, and find that reading between the two most information is available.

kevski:
In general the Haynes manuals are no worse than the clymer or factory manuals where mistakes are concerned, the thing i find that needs double checking the most is torque values.

UK Pete:
Haynes manuals are quite good, I prefer them to factory manuals, I have both

I've never had any problem with a Haynes mañuel.
