I would not recommend either for rebuilding your bike. They are intended for the weekend tinkerer only, to make adjustments to controls and such.
If you truly want to rebuild the bike, get a factory manual. It is the only book suitable for the task.
Sorry, but I hope this helps.

The Clymer is the better of the two.

I have have both for my GS750E and rarely does the Haynes have info not in the Clymer. The reverse is seldom true.

My opinion is to keep both for reference, but ask ALL your questions to these great guys here. Almost everyone has already encountered the issues you're about to tackle, and found the best way to handle things. This forum will get you an almost immediate response, and you won't waste time making the same mistakes we already made, and learned from.

Manuals

I have both the Clymer and the Suzuki shop manual. I like them both and find that some things are explained better than others in both of them. The Clymer manual isn't perfect but neither is the Suzuki 'bible'. There are mistakes and omissions in both.

Thanks for the comments. Clymer it is.

BTW any idea where to find the Suzuki shop manual?

Shop manual

The repair manuals are a regular suzuki part with a regular part number so you can order one through your dealer (I ordered mine from Ron Ayers along with a bunch of other stuff). They also show up on Ebay from time to time.
