I read mine before I rode my bike home. The dealer let me have the manual ahead of time.

I refer to mine frequently for maintenance checks, and specs.

I do have the shop manual for my bike, and read that too when performing service, and have questions the owners manual doesn't cover.

I read the owner's, technical, and electrical manuals.

I also read these forums, some good tech stuff from experienced people shared here.

Read it once then turned it into a coaster to set frosty beverages on. Just not enough technical info in it to use it more then that. If it would not be a bad PR move a service manual should come with every bike purchase instead of the "owners manual"

Hey Hdnt......Now you are talking. A service Manual with every bike. I like that. But I am sure the price of the bike would jump up 3 times the service manual. Good Idea. I like. Instead of a couple free T-shirts you can opt out and get the service manual instead.

Same here. It saves those embarrassing questions like, "Where's the key go?"
