Haynes Owners Workshop Manuals for Motorcycles are written with the home mechanic in mind who does not have the luxury of a well equipped workshop nor factory service tools. Each manual covers a well defined model range of motorcycles. A second hand example is purchased and is used as the basis for the manual. Before overhaul begins the author undertakes considerable research into the model range and modification history talking with manufacturers, dealers, repair specialists and riders.

Each manual presents the dismantling, overhaul and reassembly in a logical sequence describing the component parts in the minutest detail, aided by step-by-step photographs, some in colour.
