Its been a few yrs + now since I used a Haynes manual when completly striping my Bandit down,put it back together on a 2K frame. I have it filled with notes from everything from oil chnges ,tire mileagage,valve adj.ect. When I bought the SV1K,the 1st thing I did was to buy a Suzuki service manual. Wow,much better!It has everything you need to know.( although I must admit, I would still need help with some things. Well maybe alot of things)If I ever buy another bike,weather it be Suzuki or something else, I'll get the regular dealers manual.
