It sells it to me all over again and helps motivate me to keep her running.
Haynes also offered an exhaustive pre-ride checklist, again with color pictures. A Tools and Workshop section which also has color pictures is included at the end of the Haynes book. Both manuals had a table of contents, an index, color wiring diagrams and thumb tabs. Haynes also had a table of contents for the chapters at the beginning of each chapter, a feature I like, but their thumb tabs had no list from which to thumb, largely defeating their purpose. Clymer did have a thumb tab listing aligned with their respective tabs.
With that one minor exception, otherwise it seemed that in nearly every respect, Haynes went one step further to provide useful content and photographs. Looking at the section on carb synchronization for example, Haynes had eight photographs compared to Clymer's two.
And somehow, Haynes is able to make their pictures clearer and more sharply detailed, no small feat I can assure you from experience. But let's give them another try. With respect to the front forks and handlebar assemblies, Haynes had 68 photographs and drawings compared to Clymer's On the other hand, Haynes had absolutely nothing about the rear fender and grab rail assembly whereas Clymer had a good illustration and explanation.
When it came to removing the fuel tank, which is almost never necessary, there was a huge difference in the two manuals. They both agree on removing the rider seat, disconnecting the negative terminal and removing the rear wheel and mud guard but after that, their approach is quite different. Clymer says remove the left side passenger foot rest bracket and left side down tube, an easy job. Haynes says remove the exhaust silencers, the left shock absorber and the swing arm!
Yeah i just said i owned the Honda manuals, i never get to use them. Land of Curved Goodness. Haynes is a little easier to understand to a lay-person. Shade tree stuff - simple work is all I'd use them for.
Clymer seems to be geared more to the pro or serious DIY. To that end, they're a little harder to read and work with. I like the clymers, no nonsense nitty gritty type of manual.
The haynes tends to explain things out in greater length, the clymer says "go here, do this.
