Correct shop manual ?

[ptomkrvr]

I bought a shop manual that" refrences" my bike, but I am looking for the right one, the real one. I have a 1983 GS 1100GL, it says G on the side covers, the owners manual says GL. I am told this version (black motor) is that way.
The closest thing I have found says Suzuki GS1100G Service Manual 1982 to 1984. It is Suzuki, has holes punched, and is in a binder, don't know how many pages yet. Does that sound like it? suggestions welcome, thanks

About to post a very similar thread, I bought a Clymer manual for my GS650L and think about the same thing with it as I did for the Clymer manual I bought for my boat: Meh

Not nearly as good as the Bentley manuals I buy for my Volkswagens.

I saw something similar to what was described on ebay. Wondering if that one is any better?

I prefer the factory service manuals over aftermarket. That sounds like the correct one.

That's the manual, usually they come with a supplement for the "L" model

It does, thanks, I'm going to go with it. It's in ebay, probably too much, but I get tired of looking around for stuff sometimes. And I want it now! thanks to all
