Time to get service manual..

wantakaw59 · 10-14-2009, 01:28 AM

It's time to get a service manual for the "new" 2000 Nomad Carbed model. Clymer manuals are all over e bay priced quite reasonably. I've only found a few "Kaw" factory manuals, and they are about double the price. Any opinions from you guys about which to get?? I went through this decision with my Honda and was disappointed with the more expensive factory Honda manual. ::) Is the Clymer for this model adequate?? Thanks...jim

I have both manuals and the Clymer isn't nearly as good as the factory.
The schematics are better in the factory book.

Remember, you get what you pay for.

Have had both Clymer and factory manuals. IMO you would like the factory manual better.

I went with that company Scoot. I hope it has good pics and wiring schematics?? As I've already confessed to Doc, I am no mechanic, but I do the occassional mod and fab kinda stuff.. If special tools and/or knowledge is required (engine work), it will go to a qualified shop. Thanks for the responses guys...jim
