I bought the service manual for my bike a few years ago. It has come in handy when he makes me do things myself for the first time.
the manuals are worth their weight in gold IMO, I havce used the aprilia one quite a bit and am sure the buell one will too once I start tearing into it.

I know I need to check the valves on mine... just not looking forward to rotating the engine out of the frame

How many miles you have on yours?

2K and you haven't changed oil yet!!?!?!?!?! DAUMN!!!!

yeah, I had done 3 already by then!

FYI, you will NOT keep it clean. You have to use something (cardboard, tinfoil etc) to even attempt to keep it off of the kickstand and exhaust (if stock) and other parts... Oh, and put it on a rear stand, that helps.

If it's anything like the XB's, it's way easier than you'd think... Get yourself a Harbor Freight motorcycle/ATV jack... Best $50 I spent for the Buell.

Don't I know it! I have used mine a few times. I'll tell Erik to suck it up and buy one. The thing is he hasn't kept a bike for more than 2 years since we started dating...9 years ago.

Motherfuckers too cheap to buy a manual, yet they've got $2K+ invested in video games

If/when it comes time for a rebuild, I'll buy one. If I can find one for free before that then it's a no brainer for me.

I pulled the engine apart in my 954 with a downloaded free manual. Am I supposed to feel bad about it?
