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.

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??
I must stop buying books I don't read/use !!

That is very kind of you Kind Sir

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
Hope to see you Sunday, if i have stopped snifferling and coughing...
