Models covered:

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.

Hundreds of original photos and illustrations guide the reader through every job.
