I want a factory manual (have the lame Clymer).. I see two of them out there. I am guessing the Factory Service Manual is the one I need but should I get the Owners Manual also?

1. The 1997-1999 Factory Service Manual $49.99

2. The 1998 Owners Manual and Competition Handbook $16.00

Thanks,

The owner's manual is not particularly necessary if you have a service manual. I joined HRCA at powersports.honda.com which let me have access to an online service manual for $8. Some patience saving every page to a folder, then importing it to a Word document and access to a free printer meant I got a service manual for $8.

NICE!! That is the cost of shipping. May be worth it.. then pay Kinko's $5 to bind it.

Excellent..thanks!

It's a bit of a pain to print. You have to add every page to a word document, then mess with the margins. After a while, you'll get a system down and it probably takes about 2 hours to assemble the manual into a document Kinkos could print. A big advantage is that if you're at your friend's house but forgot your manual, you can just go online.
