Disregard.

There are downloadable ones here on the site. Some are too large and have to be emailed but one of the admin does that. I will look for a link.

Why '80 and not '81...like mine. Or does it simply not matter?
THanks, though!

All of the manuals basically have the same chapters in them for the basics of the bikes. Then addendums are added to address the specific model/year.

Lmao! So I ordered one. Couldn't find THAT ONE 'cause I set up a meat slicer in the garage where I had placed the replacement manual. Looked in cupboard for replacement...
LMAO! Found my old ( better condition ) one!

I did the same thing, only it took me twenty years to find my new to me OEM manual I had purchased when I bought my bike. Just wanted to add, there are a few areas in that clymer's manual where the information is incorrect. I wish I could cite exactly where and what. We had a discussion quite a while back that pointed specifically where those were. Maybe someone else will remember and point those out for you. I have a Clymers manual as well and had actually made the corrections in it and low and behold couldn't begin to tell you where that manual is today. I know I still have it, mind you, however just like the other one I misplaced for twenty years I am assuming that is probably what happened to my Clymer manual.

Page 222. It's the torque spec for the swing arm pivot shaft bolts. It's listed as 47 foot pounds but should be 47 inch pounds.

I downloaded. I took the pdf file to a place that printed the whole thing on both sides of the paper. I put each sheet in a document protector. The whole mess went in a three ring binder. Greasy fingers are no problem. I like paper copies. It did cost more than $5, but I got what I wanted.
