Sorry I did not notice you are in Canada, but if you want I will check and see if I can get one.

The best manual I ever owned were Clymer, and your right the  Hayenes manuals with awfully ambiguous procedural steps. Clymer is detailed and informative as if they actually worked on the equipment they publish for. Anyway here it is.

 :wtf:

Raphy has a 2005 GSF650S, not a '81-'83 GS650.

Besides, he's asking for an OEM manual.

Clymer doesn't even list a manual for his model.

  :duh:

I'd be surprised if Blade can get you a Suzuki OEM GSF650 manual here in the US since we never got the bike, but stranger things can happen.  :bandit:

FWIW CWO, the OEM manual for the B12 is actually good.  :grin:

Yep. I prefer OEM manuals because they are more direct technically. The Haynes and Clymers are geared more for your average home mechanic.  :wink:

Ya - I'm having a horrible time finding one.. I figured since the 650 K5 has been available in Canada and Europe since 2005, someone would have something by now... Where are all the UK Bandit riders, i bet one of them has a 650 pdf manual... :lol:

I had an OEM for my HOnda, and that thing was incredible... when i look at the Hayens, start having seazures  :duh:

 :boohoo:
