    Default Where to buy a shop/service manual

    I found a TechSpark CD shop manual for the RT on Amazon for $17. Has anyone here used it? I want to change my own rear tire and need the manual to be sure that I do it right. It's 170 miles round trip to the dealer and I would like to do my own work if I can.

    I watched the video. What is the method used to get the belt back on? It seems really tight.

    2014-15 the belt spec is tighter yes. But this process should still work for you.

    I purchased mine from ebay and downloaded a fully searchable pdf version. I use it often and am pleased I have it. I'll print out pages when I need them. You may contact the seller at bestshopmanuals@gmail.com.
