ATV Service Manuals - Get One Today and Start Saving Money!
How
exactly will ATV service manuals save you money? If you have had
your ATV in the shop lately, you know how much repairs cost today. Your
wallet will be so much lighter, you can almost float out of the shop!
All
I'm saying is there are a lot of service and repair jobs you could do
yourself with a good atv service manual and some basic tools. And keep
your money in your wallet where it belongs. So you can spend it on
other stuff - like gas to ride.
Top Three ATV Service Manuals.
Factory Workshop Manual -
Most
expensive and most detailed. Factory manuals cover every component on
your ATV. Even the ones you didn't know it had! Since they're written
for factory trained mechanics, there isn't a lot of space wasted
explaining the basics.
Since these are put out by the
manufacturers, they will usually include all models and options, along
with updated TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins).
If you want
to know how to work on any part of your ATV, these are the way to go.
They can also keep you from taking on jobs you really shouldn't since
they will tell you where special tools are required to complete a repair.
Clymer Repair Manual -
"Unlike
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) manuals, Clymer repair manuals
are written specifically for the do-it-yourselfer. OEM manuals are
purposely designed for the professional technician, who often has at
their disposal an impressive array of specialized tools, equipment and
knowledge.
During the production of a Clymer manual, we completely
disassemble and reassemble the models covered in each book and provide
easy-to-follow instructions. This allows Clymer manual users to safely
and efficiently service and repair the ATV -- in areal setting -- not
the ideal setting of a fully equipped professional shop.
It is this
very experience that sets a Clymer repair manual apart from its factory
counterparts".
That's
a quote directly from the folks at Clymer. I can't argue with anything
they said. I have used them myself and always felt I got more than my
money's worth.
Haynes Repair Manual -
"What sets Haynes Manuals apart is the attention to detail that goes
into the production of each book. Every manual is written from hands-on
experience based on a complete teardown, which is the step-by-step
procedure of dismantling a particular ATV part-by-part.
This is
followed by the detailed rebuilding of the specific model it documents.
Writing each manual takes 30 man-weeks, with authors working as teams
to shorten the production time and avoid fatigue during the difficult
process. Hundreds of photographs accompany each manual’s step-by-step
instructions.
The books are written from the actual experience of
Haynes’ own expert personnel using only a basic set of tools and
presented in a style that any DIYer can follow, even a beginner. The
DIYer can save a great deal of time and money, not to mention feeling
proud of the job, by using a Haynes book".
Yep,
that quote is from the team at Haynes. I've used them also and have
never been disappointed with the quality or accuracy. Just a couple of
points - both the Clymer and Haynes atv service manuals stress they're
written for the DIYer and will save you money.
Guess it's time to dust off the old tool box and get started. "Hand me that phillips screwdriver over there, will ya."
