Hi,
I rang Pitstop today and ordered the Cycleserv XS1100 manual, their suppliers have a "few" left.

Thanks xtian,
Could be the way to go, didn't know of Cycleserv at all.
I'll ring the Pitstop shop today and order one.

I've heard on the other XS forums that sometimes the Haynes or Clymer manuals differ or are incorrect on some aspects.

Thanks for that.
Nothing like taking some light reading matter to bed at night.

Thanks for the offer.
The Clymer I got with the bike has been well used and the front 1/4 of the book is starting to fall apart.

I'd thought I'd pick up a new copy.

That would be a shop price.
How quick do you need it?
I could lend you mine but it is always good to have a book, I think the CycleServe books are better

I was at the Gatton Swap Meet yesterday and found 2 new Clymer XS manuals still sealed in plastic.
What would be the price of them normally ???
I think these were selling for $44.00 each, is that ok ??

The one that came with the bike has been well used and starting to fall apart.
I may go back today and get it.
Would anybody like the other ??

Also found a factory Supplementary manual for a 78 E, there were a few more diff XS models as well.

Edit.
Just been looking ebay etc. I will go to Gatton to pick one up.
If anybody is interested in the other, give me a ring on 0427 700027

Cheers
Ken
