bit of help with manual..

[RooRoo]

I just found this on Ebay for 5 quid, and I want to learn a bit about bike maintenence so I don't have to think about taking the bike into a garage to change a lightbulb..The problem is, I have a Suzuki GS125 ESM, and this manual seems to be for a different bike?

Is it?

It should cover your model, usually most changes are cosmetic, sometimes it can be confuseing...
For example i had a CG125 manual for a slightly older model, when going to change the oil i spent some time looking for the drain bolt, there isn't one on newer versions!
Daft eh? your best off getting a haynes manual if one comes up, workshop manuals can end up being quite pricey on e-bay (CX manual went for £45 i think, as its the factory manual and allot more detailed).

Its worth getting one i learnet loads reading through mine! (and am still learning)

Thats the one, they come up on ebay, allot cheeper but you will have to keep looking/waiting for one...

Hex - Yeh it didn't make sense and it didn't mention it in the manual either, slightly worrying when bolts arent there! but just think how much cheeper manufactureing is by removeing a bolt from the engine, considering how many they must have made a year... CG is a very simple bit of kit, less is more so they say
