Harley-Davidson Sportsters (70 - 13) Haynes Repair Manual (Paperback)

Everything you need to know.

Comprehensive, covers multiple models with great details

Everyone needs if you have one

Had the right bike s in it

I fairly detailed volume although the photos were frequently on minimal help due to the poor quality as printed.

Was hoping for more detailed information.Lots of references to "See illustration" but does not reference which illustration specifically they are referring to. Some pages have many illustrations which are marked (7.6, 7.11a, 7.11b) but the instructions do not provide clear associations to the specific illustration number on the page.Does not include cylinder compression acceptable limits (high or low), it simply says to install a compression gauge into the spark plug hole which is the obvious process, not much else on this subject.Contains 1 image for 2004 and newer belt drive service in the daily ride pre check section (chapter 1), and only 9 high level steps for removal and replacement of the belt in chapter 5. Most sections refer to other chapters, so lots of page turning for info to get any repair done. Should be better for something labeled as a "Service & Repair Manual" on the cover.

Can't go wrong with one of these repair manuals. I have one for all 4 of my bikes, plus some for cars. Even if you're not super mechanically inclined, if you can read and follow instructions, you can do most of the repairs yourself.

Has the information I need (minus part #'s) but could probably tear the whole bike apart and put it back together.
