PDF Version of Clymers or Haynes?

[manshack_one]

Does anyone have a PDF version of a Clymers or Haynes manual for a 1979 1100 special? Thanks in advance.

I have

a Yamaha manual in PDF form. Wanna download 500MB?

If it includes the 79 and 80 special, sure!

My son is rebuilding a '79 Zook and it was the only place he could find a manual.

Thanks for that link but they only have the owners manual (which I promptly downloaded

If someone wants to send me a copy on CD I'd gladly make a bit torrent file out of it and provide a little support in teaching people how to share. (of course I can throw you a few dollars too to cover shipping too)

I was out searching Amazon and found some used Clymers for $16. Deal is they seem to conflict on who's the 2nd edition. One was printed 1980 and the other in 82 but both claim to be the 2nd edition. Can anyone verify which one I should get?

I thought of another question:

Can you buy an actual shop manual for these bikes?

Clymers and Haynes are for DIY'ers but what about the actual
books that the factory repair guys use? Maybe they're just trained really well and didn't need books and only have some type of reference manual for specs?

They pop up on ebay from time to time.

Personally I usually use a clymers but, altho' abbreviated, the factory manuals on CD have a lot of info for when I want to boot up the computer.
