I may well be the last to know, but I found the full shop manual at Midwest Manuals (download) for $18.88. Thought it was a good buy... MM also included all of the service memos... (up to 12/08)

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Guys - not to poop your party------ but those manuals are copy-written material - sharing PDF's of it is illegal. I also believe the downloaded version is illegal - not sure how MidWest Manuals gets away with this. Internet sales like his are difficult to police and BRP might not even know about it.
The only way you can legally have an electronic (PDF) version of the manual is if you actually own a copy of the hard-copy. Technically you could scan that in for your own personal use.
Midwest probably could sell you a scanned version if you prove you legally own a hard-copy - which basically means you'd be paying them the $10 or whatever for the 'conversion'.
BRP spent a lot of money in the development and production of that service manual. $120 for the hard copy is a deal for such a valuable tool. Also realize they legally don't have to make a service manual available to the general public.

I just bought one on ebay for $9. When I got it, was disappointed that it wasn't an original but it was a bootlegged copy from somewhere
. Thought I was getting a kosher authorized version from an authorized distributor
