    Default 2014 RTL service manual needed

    Who has the best service manual out there for purchase. I am looking for a complete manual that a service tech would use. Want to start doing my own service. Thanks for your input.

    don't think you will get access to what the service techs have but I find the Green Manuals work pretty well for most service on the Spyder.

    I think there really is only one manual producer out there selling them under a half dozen names. I've gotten mine from canammanuals.com. The ones I have for the 2013 & 2014 RT appear to be pretty complete as far as a regular shop manual. I have seen a portion of another manual that is somewhat more detailed but I believe it is part of the official technician training material.

    My suspicion is the ones we can buy on the web are not authorized by BRP, and you won't find any contact information about the producer that discloses his name or location. BRP has to know they exist but either the guy that makes them is outside of their legal reach, or they choose to turn a blind eye since he's providing a service BRP doesn't really want to mess with. I have never found an online source for an official copy of the Can Am manuals like there is for cars and Honda bikes.

    I purchased the manual off EBay a while back. I don't have manual in front of me or on my phone.

    I found the manual ok, but was lacking some sections. I contacted the company I got it from, pointing out how the manual I got was a suplement to the previous years manual. The missing sections were referred back to the previous manual.

    The company selling the manuals acknowledged what I brought to them. They explained they would look into it and resolve it.

    I suggested they send me the other manual needed, months later still no word.

    Default manuals

    check with KJ at "Green Manuals", not only does he have the real manual, but if you have any problems with the download or anything, he will take fantastic care of you.
    I can't say enough good things about his help for me.

    I checked my emails. They were from KJ at Green Manuals. He seemed nice, but failed to resolve the problem. I brought the info of the Green Manual being incomplete to his attention in August 2016.
