Haynes or Clymer What do you guys prefer
I was looking into some service and maint manuals and have always used the Haynes manuals for Automotive. For the FZR's which one do you all think is better the Haynes or Clymer. Thanks

They're about the same, so as the haynes is cheaper and hardback that's what i'd go for. And did. And the Clymer.

Thanks for the help, I think I will probably just get them both, they were both cheap enough on eBay

I've never seen the Clymer; the Haynes was okay, augmented it with the FSM.

Re: Haynes or Clymer What do you guys prefer
I have the Haynes manual and it's pretty good. Never seen a Clymer myself. By far the most helpful may be the factory service manual. They have it in PDF format over at the archives, but it takes a while to download (chapter by chapter) and forever and a forest to print out. Darrin (Ragedigital) has a factory service manual for sale in the classifieds here, and if my finances were where I could buy it, I would. But they aren't, so I can't.
Anyway, there's my
