and the brp issue doesn't even have the gold edges....:roflblack::roflblack: good to know the manual is available for the common folk...:roflblack:
. . . . and it looks good :thumbup:. I got a lot more than my money's worth out of the one I got for my 2008 GS, I expect the same on this one.
While I don't do a lot of work on my Spyder, I do like to understand what I am getting into when I start something that I think should be easy.
I loaded it on my iPhone and iPad, so, I should always have it with me for reference. Same with the Operator's Manual.

Man, after reading the above I about choked on my beer! I have a hardback maintenance manual for each of my vehicles.Quote:

The paper manual for the '09 GS was $100 with 570 pages and I sucked that one up. A thousand page maintenance manual has how much more information? Interested in what the other 430 pages are telling us.
Spent too many hours getting seasick going through microfiche files finding the proper maintenance procedure. I'm a bit biased about the 'puter thang.
I like my hardcopies, greasy smudges and all.
A 80% increase in price might tip me over the edge on getting a download. Hope the hardback price comes down after a while...
What is nice about this manual is its on my I-Pad mini, and in my Drop Box so it is always with me. This manual is the exact same as BRP from what I was told. It comes from the same data. I love it.

lol...the fleecing of the Canam customer continues, why would you pay 180$ when you can pay 28.50. Oustanding thanks for the valuable information you just saved me a whole lot of money. :)

BODY Subsection is missing, or after paging through 1000+ pages I couldn't find it. Want to install heated grips and to do that it appears that the console needs to be taken off for access to zip ties to be cut.
Downloaded the manual off of the above link and it doesn't have an index like the flat rate guide has.
Does anyone know where BODY subsection is? :sour:
Tech Spark Studio has one that is free and detailed.

Thanks for the information, went to their web-site and the latest manual is 2015.Quote:

:clap: thank you for the tip! I just did the same thingQuote:

F3 headlight bulbs are H4 single bulb with two strategically placed filaments.
Got mine off eBay. It has all sections. Body stuff is pg 28 & pg 48.
Just a note: the wiring diagrams are the worst I've ever seen and stuff is hidden everywhere. Same as the factory paper.
Chassis > BodyQuote:
