    Clymer, hands down! If they make one for your machine the clymers have always been better then the Haynes in my opinion.

    Totally agree, I bought a Haynes for my TT500. What a waste of money, I have a Clymer for everything else.

    Definately Clymer. Actually, I prefer the factory manual whenever I can get it. If not factory, Clymer it is.

    Clymer is better then Haynes... Although I have found alot of mistakes in both on all the manuals I have bought (84 250R, 85 250R, my truck, mothers car, 225DX, and my old car). They are never perfect unless its a factory one. But, either one is better then no manual at all .
    Give me no lip and I tell you no lie.
