New user, workshop manual

[SUzVAr]

Hi Everyone

Is there still someone out there driving the Varadero 1000 ;-) I just bought myself a nice specimen from 2005 with ABS and about 46'000km. I am in love with this big bike and I am going to sell my KTM 690 Enduro and Suzuki GSX-R 1000 - the Honda will be my only bike now.
As I like to work on the bikes by myself I am looking for a workshop manual. I already found one from 1998 but I would prefer to have one for the 2004 model with injection. Do you know if there are some pdf versions available?

Kind Regards
LKS

I think the Injection manual is on the Carlslater site.

Hi
I am in the process of getting used to the bike. Thank you for the tips. On carlsalter is only the carburetor manual. Haynes would be an option, but I prefer the original ;-)
Kind regards

I've had my 2003 pre ABS 30K miler since last Thursday. Using it as a commuter as the electroglide is scary when filtering into Manchester.

Love it. Needs a bit of work on the brakes ( all pads and front rotors) and a new chain but runs smoothly, full service history with it.
