I've worked with Chilton's for years with cars/trucks, but have no experience with Clymer. They any good, or do they just point out the blatantly obvious?

Yes, I like using them. They also have all the specs, capacities and torque numbers that you'll need to know.

Clymer is way better for bikes than Haynes/Chilton is. I talk with experience! I liek to use Haynes for vehicles, tried one of there manuals for my YTM200, it's crap. Looked at a clymer and it's way better. More pics, etc.

A clymer is good if its your only choice, but I highly reccomend trying to locate and buy a Genuine Service Manual, from the manufacture of your trike. Their a little costly but well worth the extra money for the detail they provide.

Yeah, I bought a factory manual for my 350x(the only one available) and am amazed at how much better it is than tha Clymers that I have for my 200x. If everybody here had a factory manual for their machines there would be 90% less questions.
