No they come with Owners Manuals.



It's hard not to mod the bike.. at least it was for me.. Spent a lot of cash on lots of parts I really didn't need. I'd get the windscreen just for now and enjoy the 1000cc's of massive power without as much of the wind.

Buy a damn service manual! That way you don't get lost on one of your upcoming mods or break downs!
Got one.

Yeah owners manuals are only good for telling you how to check your oil and what tire pressure to run. Service manuals tell you how to fix your bike.

never bought a new bike from the dealer, i just kinda assumed when you spend 8-11k on a new bike, it came with it

i got one for my bike, it covers every nut bolt and wire, but i think its labeled owners manual.

either way u got 1 already

is your brake fluid dirty? how bout some new plugs?

It's all good. The more we toss this around the less I think I need something.

Gas. The single best thing you could ever buy for your bike is gas.
