You can order a manual through Al at American Sport Bike

here's some basic info for you: (service interval for the drive belt has changed, it's longer now, this manual is for 2005)

T-27 Torx fits all kinds of stuff on the bike.

I'm going for a ride this morning, let me know if you need anything else specific scanned from the manual, like torque values and such...

happy wrenching!

5000 mile is no biggie.

mind your torque specs - foot lbs vs inch lbs
