    Stupid friggin' Haynes manual...

    Unfortunately I have no factory shop manual for my 83, and even though I do for my 81, there are some differences. Until I get a shop manual (or Doug copies the supplement for the 83- hint, hint) I'll have to lean on you fellas a little. The front shocks are completely different. The Haynes maunal that I have for the 83 lists the fork oil level for the following US 1100 models: T, ET, EX, LT and EZ. I have a freakin' ED!!! The manual is supposed to cover all 1000's, 1100's and 1150's from 1979 to 1988, but it's full of lies- LIES I TELL YOU!

    What model listed would be correct to use for specs and such?

    What is the fork oil level supposed to be for my 83 1100ED?

    I found it. Once again- "I am so smart- s, m, r, t".

    Haynes still sucks.

        There's not enough snow to ride the sled, but enough snow and ice to make the roads unfriendly to bikes- plus it's COLD- yeah, this winter is gettting to me.

        Luckly I have the wrenches on the bike a bunch. You should see how clean it is too!

                Should I be offended by all these fine people trashing me? Or should I just admit that I asked for it?

                  I would (and have) admit that I asked for it and watch carefully for someone else to screw up so you can join in with the trashing............ :twisted:

                    YEA!!!!

                    I got my Paragon Brake lines in today! They look oh so nice!

                    So you should hear a lot less bitching from me for a few days.

                        The factory manual is the only one worth having. The Haynes, etc, manuals, can cause confusion.
                        I'm sure many members here that have access to a copier would make copies of their factory manuals to help others work on their bikes. It takes a little time and you have to have an understanding boss if you copy at work. But for a free lunch, what the heck.
                        And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
                        Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

                          Doug has been hooking me up. Apparently it's the same manual as my 81 but with a supplement for the 83. He's been e-mailing me the scanned copies.

                          I hope to scan my entire manual in to the computer. Mine is getting really beat up.
