How many have downloaded a copy of the owners manual and have memorized it? You know you will have to walk your dealer through the operation of the cycle.
You should be able to show them all functions of the instrument pod as well as the operation of the bike and first maintenance. Lets get reading, you only have 3 months to get this down. :D :D

Yes, we will all know more than our dealers. Maybe they should put us on the payroll. ;)

Downloaded both the owners and service manual. Makes for exciting reading.

I will see what I can do. In any case Google is your best friend.

I gots the parts catalogue, service manual and owners manual downloaded in under five minutes. Good bathroom reading :)) All these docs were .pdf, so one must have a version of Adobe Reader. Suggest latest update.

Sweet. This is good reading, might be a little careful about the parts cat (US vs EU).

"The replacement of all wheel and brake-related parts, including the tires, should be left to a Yamaha dealer, who has the necessary professional knowledge and experience to do so."

This is interesting, I couldn't find in the owners manual ~"Changing a Tire". My other bikes have those sections. Personally I wouldn't trust a dealer on a bet to change my wheels.

Two sided printing? Most printers have a scheme built in so you can do this quite easily.

PDFs can easily be added to your IPhone, IPad, ITouch (if you have one, if you don't I don't know what you can do) I have all of my manuals for all of my bikes loaded for use on the road. This beats hauling around 300+ page single side paper manuals on the road :D

It's also handy having it on your phone, so you can kill time and be productive at the same time in the head (potty for you lubbers) at work :D
