I got the manual for my 2014 RT off of E-Bay.
It was a huge .PDF file, but I really like using it, and just print the pages that I need, for what I'm doing at the time.
I save the pages, and am filling a binder with them! :thumbup:

Thats one way....

:agree: Printing your own will be cheaper than buying a paper manual... but I have seen them from time to time on ebay (the paper ones)..:thumbup: don't know if Clymer or Haynes will ever go there....:dontknow:

How upto date are the ones you can buy online? I know the ones from Can-Am will be current, but how do you know the online ones are?

There's not much that changes... :dontknow:

I don't know that any of them are 100% on the up and up. My conclusion is that all the sellers are either the same person, or reselling his product. I also suspect the seller is offshore and not easily reached by BRP, or BRP is voluntarily turning a blind eye to the illicit sales of their manual.

Why they do not authorize their manual publisher to sell a bona fide legitimate copy via download or on CD like other companies such as Honda do, is beyond me. I believe every manual Helm publishes is available on CD. At least the one for my Goldwing was.

They appear to be accurate reproductions of the real Can Am manual.

Manual

I got a manual for my 2015 RT from "Green Manuals" on EBay. I am very pleased with their product.

Green Manuals and Midwest Manuals are two names that come to mind. I think that the online ones are as up to date as any printed manual you could buy. It isn't like BRP is going to issue updates to printed manuals once they have been issued. If they have changes they would give their dealers updates via the BOSS Web site but there wouldn't be anyway for them to communicate them to you.

Same manual and outfit. Same as from Canammanuals.com which is where I bought mine.
