This is the best thing I have seen in this forum so far. Thanks for posting all those manuals. Everywhere I went to get a manual I needed to pay ridiculous amount of money... Got to love forums.

Thanks JR

There is a "donate" button for any small amount to help Glenn pay for the hosting!

I am looking for a manual for '73 Yamaha rd350...anybody got a tip on a free download?

Bob Wessner · « **Reply #203 on:** May 26, 2011, 03:00:12 PM »

This claims to be one, but not knowing anything about them, can't vouch for it. Seems to be a series of image files that are manual pages.

for some reason your computer has been configured to see 'zip' files as a media file, if you download the file Windows Explorer should then be able to open it. http://www.wikihow.com/Open-a-.Zip-File-Without-Winzip

I have scanned a complete Haynes Honda CB 400 Four manual(allegdly 550F as well! I had cut all pages out any way and put them in clear plastic A4 size sleeves to stop greasy marks getting on them while I worked) .Anyhow I want to share with all.But do not know how to create PDF file.How do I make one?Can anyone send me a PDF file?Are there any copyright issues? Regards Sam

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #217 on:** June 09, 2011, 12:38:43 PM »

Firstly, yes there are copyright issues.

Now that we've got that out of the way...

When you say that you have scanned the book, do you mean you scanned it onto another sheet (ie copied it) or scanned it onto your PC? If you use a modern printer/scanner, most come with a suite of software that allows you to scan pictures to jpeg files and documents to pdf files.

PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It is an Adobe system that compresses the file to quite small sizes by disallowing any editing etc. To edit a pdf file you need Adobe Acrobat software which is neither cheap nor very user friendly. Anyone can read a pdf file by downloading the free Acrobat Reader software from Adobe.

So, if you have scanned the book to a pdf file, it will be on your PC (probably in your "My Scans" folder - depends on your operating system)

No all I have done is scanned them and put in the Documents area into my PC.Regards Copyright -so I wouldnt be able post in any forum anyway?What if i sent to any forum members when requested as a pdf file?

Copyright is really a gray area. I had a photo business so I have some familiarity but am not a lawyer. To the best of my knowledge a person cannot reproduce anything for profit, however some things can be reproduced for personal use only. Sharing a manual would be a violation because you would be taking away from the authors market-that is if the manual is still available for sale. Probably all the manuals availabe for download are technically a copyright violation, but who cares

I'm having problems accessing the tune up/maintenance manual (first link). Does it work for others? downloaded the service manual with no probs.

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #221 on:** August 08, 2011, 10:10:21 AM »

Works for me.

Maybe just try again?

Steve

Ekimyar · « **Reply #222 on:** August 08, 2011, 06:03:35 PM »

Working now, must have been doing something wrong.

vfrpilot390 · « **Reply #223 on:** August 09, 2011, 12:26:03 PM »

I just tried the manuals for the CB400F and it couldn't find them. Can you re-post?

Thanks!

malcolmgb · « **Reply #224 on:** August 11, 2011, 09:52:35 AM »

Try here http://www.honda4fun.com/ it is an Italian site but most manuals are English, just follow the Manuali link.
