Never thought of myself as anal but GOTTIT , Thanks Rhino

No problem Mc tool we weirdos must stick together - Hell it's the only help we're going to get.

(Well that and my old mate Mr Jack Daniels maybe . . .)

Pleased someone on the forum got it and - I assume - will unite it with his bike, as it were.

Yeah , I shoulda asked him if he had the tool kit .The manual will probly never get near the bike ( least it get dirty ) till both are sold .......just after my funeral. Thanks Derek

Hamish, the solution is get a used manual and keep it on the bike. I keepo a new one at home and a more rancid one in the tools compartment. It does come handy sometimes

G.

Why do bring himself the handbook???
Could it help you in some way?

Ciao

you never know. Could be the wiring diagram comes handy if there`re problems or you don`t remember the correct tire pressure...

G.,
you're right!
I never remember the right tires' pressure .
But, if I would have to have some electric issue... I would call Europe Assistance

I don't want to sound like a blowhard but there is nothing in that book ( and I havn't even seen one yet ) that could help me on the road side .... specially the wiring . There is nothing on my Paso I have not fully investigated ( pulled to bits and put back together at least as good as it was ). and a owners book will at best help with small problems ...... I mean if there is a rod poking out of the cases or the bike is engulfed in a fireball your not going to be lookin at the owners book . I just want it to have that's all , ya know I probly wont even read it .

I carry wiring diagram with wire colour chart and 12v tester on my 907. On 999 I carry a handbook(2nd hand copy with all foreign languages removed) for codes and reset instructions. Never needed them though, most used item is breakdown/recovery card.

I guess it what your used to . I have spent most of the last 30 years fixin home appliances and well a big bunch of wires ,either numbered or colour coded are 2nd nature to me . A wiring harness on a motorbike is a piece of piss ,slightly less so without a wiring diagram . but as a branch manager I really struggled , just not my thing , I mean I always got there but I had to work at it where others seemed to find it easy.

My only skill - if skill it can be called- is a complete and fundamental knowledge of how to use my Visa card . . .

I only keep handbooks and toolkits etc. because I have an unnatural need for completeness on a concours bike.

Who knows, I may even sit on it one day . . ..

By the way 900streetfighter I have a complete and unmarked (and I mean unmarked) workshop manual, ring-bound, for a 2003 999S. I don't need/want it - let me know if you're interested.

Hey guys - can anyone help . . .

I am not being notified of replies being posted
(even if it is only Duc750 laughing at me . . . )

Rhino, I'm with you.
As a lawyer, I also am much more skilled using my Visa.
But... I don't know why, sometimes I try to use some screwdriver.
The results are often/always not so nice
