    Default Any recommendations on where to get 2012 RT-S SM5 service manuals?

    I recently acquired a 2012 RT-S SM5. With all of my past motorcycles I usually kept a service manual on hand for troubleshooting and for determining if a repair or service should be done at the dealer or if I could handle it. More often than not these were Clymer manuals.

    Clymer does not publish one for the Spyder. Are there any recommendations on where I can find a reliable and accurate service manual for my new favorite ride?

    Thanks!

    A paper one ( if they even sell them anymore - I doubt it ) would be about $ 150.00 ....They have them on disc's or download .... Try green manuals .... Mike .....PS there are others

    You could download a manual online to your computer; copy it on to a thumb drive; take it to Office Depot or the like and have them print it out on a spiral binder.
    We did that several times with various manuals.
    So nice to have a print-out to refer to.

    I bought mine from GreatRepairManuals.com and usually only print the pages I need as I'm doing maintenance, The printed pages go in a binder with tabs
