What service manual to buy?

[GSteve]

Where can I find a service manual for my 1982 GS 1100 G?

Hi Steve, Welcome to the GSR. I got mine from manuals.com, but I think BassCliff may have an online resource that would be way cheaper. Try posting in the owners section, he has a great welcome to the GSR post with a bunch of links to resources you are looking for. Ray

Click HERE for BassCliff's site.

Click HERE to download a copy of the factory manual.

In order of preference, most of us go for 1) the factory manual, 2) Clymer, 3) Haynes. All three are good manuals, but one might have better illustrations than another for a particular procedure, and the other might have better illustrations than the one in a different procedure. In other words, get them all, if you can.

Hi Mr. GSteve,

Have I not given you the unofficial welcome? Here it is.

Please click here for your mega-welcome, chock full of tips, suggestions, links to vendors, and other information. Then feel free to visit my little BikeCliff website where I've been collecting the wisdom of this generous community. Don't forget, we like pictures! Not you, your bike!

I use both the Shop and Clymer manual. The PO gave me the Clymer manual. I picked up a Suzuki Shop manual from a local Craigslist ad. You can also check ebay for manuals.

Steve, your link has a couple of extra characters in it, causing it to 404.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Is there an online factory service manual for a 78 GS400?

Thank you Mr.BC for the warm and hardy welcome. I believe the Clymer manual and use of the GS Forum will be tremendous resources for any challenge ahead.
