Just ordered both manuals from Helm. Both items are marked as in stock. So we'll see what happens. Certainly was easy to purchase via their website. I'll post here if they arrive in a timely manner or not.

I was busted by the Admin. for posting sources for inexpensive knock off service manuals on this Forum!
I'm sure they will be on your trail soon! Or maybe NOT! It is after all the Christmas Season!
Good luck?
Never say never to the online free service manuals. I have downloaded free Goldwing, Ninja, Triumph, CB750 & Yamaha GTS manuals in the past. Some may say it is unethical, but if someone puts it up and it saves me $$ I don't feel like I'm digging into the overall profits of Honda or other major manufacturers. With this being a pretty new model, these probably won't pop up on the net for a few years.
This seems to be a very upstanding website, so I'm sure any links to free manuals will never grace these pages. I don't know if Clymers has published a repair manual for the NC yet. I have a couple of them and they may be an abbreviated version of the factory version, but they have all the technical data that a decent mechanic needs.
what this forum need is a sticky on how to remove panels,service inc tappets adjustment etc and a wiring diagram ,mainly for add on's.
the majority of us don't need a full workshop manual..most stuff we wouldn't even consider doing like engine rebuild and not likely needed unless you've blown the engine.
there are scattered info on this forum by guys on here with out the need of the so called copyrights books.
so how about consolidating all the info onto a sticky in tech page.
this book should be sufficient for most folks.....
My take, much ado about a subject we are not that informed about. Sounds like a bunch of malpractice lawyers talking about future space travel. A lot of opinions, but no definitive answers. I'm personally taking the path less traveled. I'll use the sources that are available for the information I need, when I need it. Period.Reading post above makes me think that even posting torque numbers could be a crime.boy oh boy..makes no sense
so called copy rights of these workshop manuals is a load of bollocks
so called copyrights books.
I definitely agree that an FAQ or technical how-to page on the forum would be a wonderful thing. An inspiration would be the one on this Ninja 250 site, where the FAQ is easier to follow and is better illustrated than the Kawasaki factory manual. Ninja250 Howto - Ninja250Wiki.
There's one huge problem: it takes a lot of work to put that together. We would start by compiling service procedures and garage hints from existing posts on the forum. Volunteers?
