    Hello - I recently purchased a 2001 VFR with 35,000 miles from a very straight-shooter type of guy. He took great care of the motorcycle, and did most of the maintenance himself, but, sadly, he wasn't able to locate his service manual for the motorcycle. He said he'd send the service manual to me when he finds it.

    In the mean time, I am starting into a suspension service and getting prepped to check the valve clearances.

    Question - can anyone point me to a Gen 5 service manual on this site or elsewhere online, pdf or otherwise? I've searched these forums and not been able to find it.

    I'm not adverse to purchasing a service manual - it's an absolute necessity for me - but I'd prefer to give the previous owner a while to find the one that should have come with the bike before ponying up the $ for a manual that may turn out to be a duplicate.

    Thanks!

    Hmmm, maybe. Have plans on spending money elsewhere at the moment but might be something afterward
