Manuals and Parts
Posted: 30 Oct 2009, 10:44
There are several manuals around but some are easier to get hold of than others.
Owners manual - Little booklet giving basic information about setup and riding of machine. Tyre pressures etc.
Honda produced a Japanese only workshop manual but it has many many photos. This is very rare. They also did an English version for the AR when released in Australia.
Leisure Trail produce an edited workshop manual for the Mk1, 2 & 3 and an AR addition. This gives good basic information and many diagrams about dissembling and rebuilding engine and servicing generally together with a black and white wiring diagram. These are very common and very useful. LT phone no. 0115 973 2466 and have a web site.
Honda produce parts manuals for different Mks that give detailed exploded diagrams and exact part nos. There are some around and they occassionally come up on eBay etc. Almost all honda dealers will supply parts if you have the exact part no.
eBay is quite a good source of second hand parts. Usual caveats apply to buying things unseen but generally good resource.
Occasionally new parts come up and these can be very useful but be aware that very often these parts are still available from Honda and regularly available at less cost than the final bid on eBay. Sometimes parts go for two or three times the current Honda cost .

If you are desperate and/or not in the UK; Rinkya (Japanese eBay) are useful but beware of transport and 'service' costs/commision. Really only good for high value (in UK) and lightweight parts.
