I have used Clymer manuals for over 40 years, and they are excellent. But, they are not indexed well, and sometimes the only way to find what I need is to flip through the pages until I see it, which is not only time consuming, it's easy to overlook the topic that way. Clymer also shares a fault with all manuals, both manufacturer and aftermarket, in that some of the pictured details are not visible when actually doing the work; they are correct, but some parts must be removed to see the pictured detail on the machine. Given these, Clymer is probably the best.

I would firstly recommend the official Honda service manual, that is a must have. The Clymer manual gets into deeper details and provides lots of pictures and tips while you work through it. The extra advice it provides tends to answer all questions you may come up with and it is written for the DIYer / basic mechanic. So even if you have very basic knowledge, that will usually suffice for most repair and maintenance jobs you will encounter on your motorcycle. This + the factory manual and I am able to tackle every repair (so far) on my VT750.

This book does not provide individual item numbers or size information on parts. It provides ok illustration of the parts of the bike. I needed it for troubleshooting the turn signals. This book was able to help me find where the wiring hub is located but not much else. It is not very well organized. It will show you pictures of parts of the motorcycle broken down to there individual components but will not tell you the sizes/specifications or names of individual components. As a result it was useless in getting replacement parts when I needed to change the fluid and seals on the forks. It does not tell you what size of seals you need.

This is a very detailed guide to just about anything you would want to do to a Honda 750 Shadow Spirit. Accompanying photos along with narrative as well as helpful hints and cautions make this a do-it-yourself confidence builder. That said however, there are things outlined in this book that convinced me that I shouldn't attempt. Specifically those needing special tools and equipment.You will learn much about your bike and enjoy the read. It is a very thorough and helpful book.

I was ever so happy that they sent it alllll the way from there to alll the way here in OZ my only concern was that it got damage from not being wrapped with more padding to protect it from its long journey maybe there's a thought for the next postal (=

Typical Clymer manual. Pretty well done.

Great chain. Unfortunately, it did not come with a keeper, so that was a little interesting

Just what the bike doctor ordered - went down well as a present in the U.S.

Use this for repairing my bike. Has yet to let me down. Only issue was wiring diagrams weren't as clearly labeled to which bike it applied to. I cooked some led turn signals due to using wrong wiring diagram. My fault? Probably, but not 100%.

Très utile pour quiconque veut entretenir sa moto lui-même.

recieved in good shape

Great !!! Thanks
