The first thing i do with any bike i buy is sit down and read the handbook from cover to cover. :) You don't neede a workshop Manual unless, you know what you are doing and are competent, mechanically.
I haven't always received a handbook when buying scooters.
I'm not a great mechanic but I always buy a manual for any scoot I buy. I've still got a Lambretta manual from the 60's.
It helped me realise what a circlip was. For months I had used bent copper wire to hold the gear change rod in place.
I tend to hoard stuff so I've now got about a dozen various manuals for cars and scooters.
I really ought to stick some of them on ebay!


How much do you want for the bike manuals Please Liam....i too like to keep workshop manuals.
Lyn. :D

No charge to you Lyn. You're always helping muppets and uglies with stuff so its good to return a favour, now n then.
I'll search a few out and bring them on Sunday. I know I've got a haynes piaggio one covering hexagon, typhoon, et2 etc . An old 2 stroke tuning one and some pitman Vespa manuals.
Fancy a Haynes washing machine manual as well?? :lol:
I must stop buying books I don't read/use !!

That is very kind of you Kind Sir :D i do love a workshop manual or two, does not matter what it on just interestedin how stuff works.
Am i alone in being a bloke who gets home with a new bike/car/teli/anything and pulls it to bits to see how it was put together icon_old.gif
Hope to see you Sunday, if i have stopped snifferling and coughing...
