Typical flaws of a Clymer product October 24, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Like most Clymer products, this lacks a usable table of contents -- there are no page numbers within the major topics. Thus if you want to look up, say, adjusting the valves, you have to flip through pages to find it, because the contents lists that it's within a major topic (routine maintenance) and what order it's in there, but no page number.
Also like most Clymer products, Clymer has a bizarre ritual of putting all torque values into a table at the end of the section. If you are reading along in adjusting valves, and you need to know how much torque to apply to the valve cover, Clymer doesn't tell you -- they simply say "torque the valve cover" and make you flip to the back of the section to see what to torque it to.
And the section on spark plugs and what the color says about the fuel-air mixture is bizarre. The pictures are black and white, making it appear that spark plugs are supposed to be grey. Uhm, no, they should be tan. Somebody cheaped out on the color photography and made this section utterly useless.
That said, despite these quirks, it is a usable and valuable reference and I do not work on my bike without it. In particular, the color circuit diagrams at the end of the text are far better than anything in the factory manual. And they even have a few tidbits of info not in the factory manual (not much, though -- they're basically the same info, re-organized into Clymer format). It's just irritating at times to run into the familiar Clymer flaws mentioned above... flaws that should have been fixed years ago.
Clymer Kawasaki Concours 1986-2004 Repair Manual September 20, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Clymer manual is a good general purpose repair manual and provides sufficient photos and technical information essential for the shade tree mechanic to do the majority of repairs himself. I purchased an "on-line" manual for the Concours prior to purchasing the Clymer and the Clymer was much more informative and illustrative.
