I just picked up the service manual and I have to say it's the best $60 I've spent. If anybody needs some help shoot me an email at jmedeiros0911@yahoo.com |

I have to say, reselling electronic documents for profit is theft. |

I don't believe that was what he is saying. I took it as if you have questions about something, that he can look it up for you. Just my opinion. |

+1 Northernyankee Sounds like if you need a little advice on how to do something, he would share the information with you.......not copy the manual and send it to you. I have a service manual as well, and yes, BEST money spent, has already saved me HUNDREDS of dollars in service that i have done myself and didnt take it to the stealership. |

Oh, forgot, i would HIGHLY recommend getting the parts manual as well. It's always nice to go to the dealership and just put a list of part numbers down for them to find/get/order rather than them looking through their manual forever cause they hardly use it and just waste riding time hunting for the part. |

The best part of the parts book is the exploded diagrams, they are a godsend when putting shit back together!

I know this is a touchy subject BUT... I downloaded an electronic copy (for free) which I realise is THEFT. However I also purchased a hard copy and I just use the electronic copy so I can print out specific sections and put in little clear envelopes that I can use when working on the bike so my manual stays relatively neat & tidy. I also like the fact that the pdf version means I have the maunual on my phone, which has proven handy once already when stuck on the side of the road. I think the manuals are a BARGAIN, I paid $300 for the workshop maunual for my Toyota Supra about 7 years back so the Buell manuals are great value for money. |

The only problem with relying on a downloaded manual is if they don't cover your year you could make a big mistake ! The price you may pay for being a cheapskate ... But I do agree it is handy to be able to print out the relevant pages when working on the bike. Me, I photocopy the relevant pages from my manuals when working on the bike and throw them away afterwards. I have them for both 2008 and 2010 models. |

I understand the stance on the "pirated" electronic manuals. Is there somewhere that you can PAY for one though? I have been using computer based manuals at my work for the past 8+ years and honestly just like them better than paper. I would like to purchase a set but would love to have it as an electronic copy. Any ideas? Like I said, I am not trying to "get around" paying or be a cheapskate. I am not trying to go against the morals of this board. Simply asking if there is somewhere to get a digital copy of the manuals. If they are all pirated versions then I will buy a paper one ans scan it myself. |

There is no legally available digital copy of the 1125R manual. The only copies out there are either on HD's network, or pirated. It is a shame, I also would purchase one. |
