Topic: A blurb about CLYMER manuals.

[754]

I have 2, one up to 74 and a later one that shows some F models and has "The Hopup Section"

But I have noticed differences (some of has to do with Questions on here)

The early one has a chapter on Frames.
It includes an oil routing chart, a drawing of oil tank(explains where lines go), and some info and drawings on the pipes (HM 300 I think)
And a frame drawing including measurements.

Most of that is missing in the later one, but other stuff is added like F master cyl and brake, exhaust.. both drawings and info. on page 82 it shows a drastically lightened alternator rotor..plus another shot of one  in hop-up.


I know there was a mistake in K2 wiring diagram, i think in the early one... cost me a lot of time, a melted set of ANDREW coils, and a melted stock set . You may want to note this if you have that one, a problem with I think the green wire to regulator, never stops charging

Just brought it up as one manual does not cover it all..

The next time you have a biker cookout, you can use those manuals to get the fire going.  I have the factory manuals on my site, as do many others.  A quick search of this forum and the internet will yield the original factory manuals for most bikes in .pdf format.  http://kingcustomcycles.com/technicalassistance.html

I have the M341 ( 8th ) issue it has a picture of '77 f model going in a left curve on the front cover. It all so has " Hop-up secrets from R.C. Engineering" on top of cover with " Over 35 FULL COLOR Troubleshooting Pages & Wiring Diagrams to speed maintenance " beside the R.C. line.
The only exhaust system they show is that of a CB750F ( page 75 ) & they cover hondamatic transmission.
First edition was in december of 1971.

i used a reprinted, 1 side of a page manual in full page size for whizzers, and found it a PITA.

I much prefer the size and format of the Clymer, for readability and being able to keep near/on the bench while using. It is also easy to read it and leaf through it, try that with PDF. By reading it often , I think you tend to retain more by memory.After a while I barely used it, for most stuff.

Not sure if you print out the whole PDF thing, and pull individual pages to use at the bench... or?..the one thing that would be good is to slip a page in a plastic cover.
