If he doesn't have your exact manual listed, e-mail him.
He's REAL good about responding.

They're copies of the original Honda Manuals-THE BEST in my opinion.

Plop it into a 3-ring binder and you're set!

Best of luck!

I bought a manual on cd off of ebay for $11. It is absolutley fantastic. It is for my 85 and your 86 along with a few other years. The sellers id is "j_k_allen". Check him out...

I'd reccomend www.helminc.com if you prefer a real book instead of cd like me :)

It looks to me like these are genuine honda oem service and parts books. Am I correct? Or are they imitations? I like the hard copy that you can carry out and look at right at the machine. I have some cd's but dont like as much.

[Billy Golightly]

That is correct. They are the only 3rd party company that you can buy Genuine Honda manuals through. I myself prefer the books, because the computer normally isn't very close to where I'm working on things at :p

The manuals on ebay I mentioned are copies of the original Honda Service Manuals.
PLUS...they're printed on individual sheets of paper with three holes punched.
That means you can stick them into a three-ring binder and thumb through a LOT easier than a bound manual.
I love 'em.

They've paid for themselves 10 times over.

Dame, he did not even have one kawaski manual in that ebay list. Im still on the look out for a klt 200 manual if anyone has it.

I don't know if he has Kaw manuals or not but e-mail him and ask.
I didn't buy any of my manuals off of his ebay auctions, I bought them direct from him my e-mailing and asking for availability.

Good luck!

Im about to buy a clymers or haynes manual. Which is better? I dont like the factory manuals as much because theres not as much info.

[shudup]

i mostly buy "official" shop manuals they are model specific and seem to be better than the clymers or haynes (more in the official ones)
the clymers or haynes ones ive used put info on more modles and seem to skip some to fit it all in one book
the ones on cd are good if you dont mind printing off what you need but some are poor copies.

like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=34237&item=7989377444&sspagename=WDVW

clymers are also good.

I strongly recommend www.helminc.com. EBay isn’t always the cheapest place. I accidentally ordered 2 SX manuals from helmnic so I put the extra on eBay I paid 25 with shipping and sold it on eBay for $40.00!!! Crazy what some people will pay.
