engine service manual for '01 KTM

I just emailed Mike at cycle zone looking for a manual, here is his response;

"I just talked to KTM about this. In order to get a complete sevice manual for the '01s you have to buy the '99 manual (41.00) & then buy the 2000 updated supplement for 37.00. Pretty ridiculous! They told me they are working on a better system for their manuals. Good idea! Oh yeah & they are both on backorder!"

I dont blame Mike in the least, he seems very eager to help, but is there a better way to get a manual for my bike? with shipping we are looking at $85.00!!!:eek:
Any help on this guys?? and mike if you are reading this, thank you for your quick replies in this matter.

Personnaly, I think KTM should post them on their website in PDF format and just charge you for a download. It would be cheaper as you could print it all yourself, or just the section you need. ... I amaze myself with my efficient thinking.;)
