Ive used haynes, clymer, chilton, but none has had the same depth of knowledge the FSM has, yes you need to have some more than basic knowledge in mechanics, but thats what we at the forum are for. I bought my copy of the FSM for my bike, and downloaded the HCSM, IMHO ths FSM is he way to go. If your going to buy a manual it may as well be the one from japan.
Most of the Canadian dudes here are cool and understanding of our backward ways here in the land of the great unwashed. We share I firmly believe, a genuine affection for all wrenches of any persuasion. That being said, I do not think barging in with the Pastafarian crap from the FSM serves any purpose other than to further fractionate what both great nations observe as the true religion. For shame.
Badbilly, Oh may the mighty Flying Spaghetti Monster forgive your blasphamey and unfaithful attitiude! May you repent, be touched by his noodley appendage, and learn the one true faith, FSM!
