1. This book is more like a motorcycle's manual for dummies and had instructions and illustrations which could allow ME to work on my bike.

1. Has everything I expected from a repair manual and more. Makes an every day Joe like me seem like a competent and skilled mechanic. Please note that a certain aptitude is required to perform even the basic tasks, the book is really a step-by-step idiots guide and any novice should research before attempting to perform maintenance for the first time. The book will help diagnose issue but in the field, unless you have experienced the cause of a fault or breakdown, it could be something else. It's a great book; all V-Max owners should have one. As all V-Max owners know, these bikes were built to last, the engine is a work horse and will keep running with good maintenance as laid out in the book. I hope this helps you budding V-Max owners.



2. I just received for 20 minutes ago, and i think This is the best book I ever have. Nothing like this. Very complete, very details, very user friendly, and offcourse very cheap for me, than you have to trial and error for your vmax. But, i think Haynes should be input the Historial of This Bike from beginning to presents.
   
   I'll buy it again if you made it haynes....

1. There are two major publishers in the motorcycle maintenance handbook market, Haynes and Clymer. After doing some research on the net, I opted for the Haynes. I have since returned it and have ordered the Clymer. The basic problem that I had with the Haynes was that the print was very small. If I'm working on my bike, I want to be able to quickly glance at the manual for information as I'm working on the bike. I didn't think that this would be possible with the small print of the Haynes manual.

1. I bought this to learn how to adjust my emergency brake and discovered it isn't even mentioned in the book!
   
   It is also printed on very cheap paper with poor photographic reproduction so is of limited usefulness.
   
   I wouldn't buy another book in this line.

1. I bought this book from another place, for my husband, X-mas 07'. I was pretty sure he would like it, but not 100%, being he's a truck mechanic & has worked on his own off-road bikes for 20+ years. However, things change & I thought there might be a new or better way to do something. So I bought it.
   
   It's 126 pages with the last 4 pages being index & resources, with full address, phone & websites listed. The Contents Page & the edge of pages are color coded, which makes it easy to jump to any of the 5 sections. Example: Bike Setup is blue, Tire & Wheels is green, Engine is red, etc.
   
   There's a total of 21 projects. Every project is at the top of the page & lists the following details. TIME: 15-45 min, TOOLS: 10 & 12-mm sockets, TALENT: 1 star=easy, 4 stars=hard, TAB: $100-$150, PARTS: tires, tubes, TIP: first thing to do on new bike, BENEFIT: more traction = better acceleration.
   
   In my opinion, this book is very well laid out, easy to read & has lots of big pictures. It also has a Troubleshooting Guide for Forks and Shocks & Parts List, with contact information. Hubby did read it & does like it. Although, he hasn't use it, due to winter & no need for it at the moment. He did say this book had good information & helpful tips.
   
   Overall... Yes, I would recommend this book to any newbie. I think it would be an excellent learning tool for them. As for the amateur, they would already know things, but still a good way to learn some great tips.
