    Default Shop repair manual?

    Looking to attain a shop repair manual for a 2009 RS. What is the general consensus regarding the best, most informative manual around these parts, please?

    Default Little checking..

    online, ebay or web site, green manuals. You can download, get a CD or print it out. Regardless it is way cheaper than getting one from BRP. Now the owners manual you can get from the BRP web site free....

    Right, but is there a publisher that seems to be favored over others? Examples; Haynes, Clymer, Chilton, other, etc.

    Tech spark studios sells a digital shop manual it is a copy of the BRP service manual for around $20 on eBay. The BRP shop manual will cost $90-$120. Benefits of the paperback book is the electrical schematics which is 2'x4' schematic. To see this electronically you will print 48 pages and tape them together which is a lot of fun. Hope this helps

    Or put on thumb drive take to FED EX and print out a real nice size schematic. Whatever you choose it will work.

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    The online versions are great and what I use now.
    I've got an old 2008/09 hard copy for the GS/RS models laying around that I no longer need.
    Send me your mailing address and I'll ship it to you.... no charge.
    But I'd still buy an online version.

    I appreciate the offer, but I did go ahead and get a "Green Manual" Manual4Mechanics on CD version which covers 2008 to 2011 RS/GS series, 1800+ pages for $20 and free shipping.
