I've decided I'll get the digital download of the service manual but just to be clear, from anyone who has bought it, is it in fact a workshop manual which details the repair of the motorcycle, or is it a service training manual which instructs dealer mechanics on how to service ie: perform standard servicing to RE but not so much a repair manual? Thanks y'all.
It is more of a repair manual rather than a maintenance manual. But it does make some assumptions about the users knowledge, or maybe they're just omissions. You won't find the true detail and step-by-step instructions of a nice Clymer manual. And there's some mistakes in there, too, but so too were there in my Clymer BMW manual.
One thing to note - at least on the cd-rom version, the GT manual actually consists of a few documents: you get the UCE manual from the 500 cc Bullet bikes, with addendums covering the GT-specific details. You will not be told this when you order. So there will be a bit of stuff in the main book which won't apply to you, and you'll have to wade through that yourself. But the engine stuff should be pretty much the same, except for the specs on the piston and bore sizes.
The GT addendums are better quality publications, so I ordered the CD, hoping to get better engine instruction as well - I discussed this with those guys when I ordered it - but they didn't tell me that I'd be getting the book I already owned and sent it anyway. I returned the CD. I submitted a review to their old site explaining this so future buyers would know, but the review was never posted. When suggestions were being solicited for their new site, I suggested they mention this in their product description - it isn't there. I don't know why it's a secret...
