HI guys, doing my own maintenance on my Crappasaki zx-10 1989 vintage and have a manual which claims to be the genuine kawasaki workshop manual. Quite honestly I think it's rubbish. Now, the bay of fleas has two other options - one good old trusty Haynes and the other at triple the price is a Clymer one.

I've never seen inside one of these manuals and wondered what you guys had experienced and might advise? Thanx guys!

The Haynes will probably be better as it will be English, where as the Clymer manuals are written for and by Americans - I've got one for my bike as they didn't do a Haynes one. It doesn't seem to be any better than a Haynes one in my eyes in terms of detail.

I find the clymer manuals to be better with more technical info. The Haynes seem very generic.
