Very odd!
« on: 03 April 2014, 10:05:54 am »
Popped into Halfrauds last night to pick up a Haynes Manual and to my surprise learned that they don't do one for the FZ1.  Luckily, the factory service manual is available for download. Or is it the fact that these downloads ARE freely available and accessible that makes Haynes decide not to invest? Hmmm.

Not sure if thats the reason, as they do cover the 6

Perhaps they do books depending on sales of the bike, as I dont think many gen2 were sold as the gen1?

2007. Yeh, I got those already Gary. I was just surprised to see that Haynes haven't bothered to produce a manual for such a popular bike that has spanned 8yrs.
