This manual does not cover, in any way, transverse mounted four-cylinder engines, sometimes referred to as "slant K-bikes".

Note model year coverage and that the "slant" bikes overlap years with the LT touring model, which is an entirely different machine. This manual covers longitudinal-mounted four-cylinder models, sometimes referred to as "brick K-bikes".

Clymer repair manuals are written specifically for the do-it-yourselfer. With step-by-step procedures, detailed photography and extensive use of exploded views, each manual is based on the complete disassembly of the machine. Unlike OEM manuals, which are purposely designed for the professional technician, with an impressive array of specialized tools, equipment and knowledge, Clymer manuals are designed for the first-time user.

Each Clymer repair manual provides step-by-step procedures based upon the complete disassembly of the machine. This hands-on experience combined with extensive research results in a manual that is both user-friendly and detailed. Hundreds of original photos and illustrations guide the reader through every job.

Whether you’re interested in routine maintenance tasks, troubleshooting, or more extensive repairs, the in-depth coverage provides indispensable information about your vehicle. Clymer manuals can save you money in maintenance and repair bills. Step-by-step procedures and detailed illustrations guide you through every job. This manual includes the following chapters:

  • Quick Reference Data
  • General Information
  • Troubleshooting
  • Periodic Maintenance and Lubrication
  • Engine
  • Clutch and Transmission
  • Fuel and Exhaust Systems
  • Electrical System
  • Cooling System

Every Clymer manual contains hundreds of original photographs and illustrations developed from a complete disassembly and assembly of the motorcycle. This, in addition to extensive research, allows Clymer to achieve an unmatched level of detail, accuracy and clarity.
