4 Wheels? Huh?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was told that an aftermarket manual was never made. The HONDA Service Manual is excellant! They run ~$40 at a dealer and you can find some cheaper ones on Ebay. I wouldn't own a 350X without it!

I was told one time by a shop that clymer and hanes only made a manual after a trike/bike/quad was in production for three years. This plus the ban probably is why they never made manuals. Go for the stock honda one, it is a good manual

Tucson 200x,
Go to your local Honda dealer and order a new one from them. I just ordered one for my 350X and the factory Honda service manual cost me $29 shipped. That's cheaper than ebay too!

Yes I agree,factory manuals are the only way to go.I've heard in some cases that aftermarket manuals have some inaccurate info such as torque settings(friend of a friend blew a head gasket with this miss-information)The repair coast a lot more than a factory manual!!!Another thing i've learned is that once you buy a manual,NEVER get rid of it. I bought a225 new in 84,got a service manual ,sold the bike years later and let the manual go with it. Low and behold I just picked up another 225 and I have no manual. now every time I take a step,my heels kick me in the ass.
PUT SOMETHING HOT BETWEEN YOUR LEGS(350 X)
