Triumph Service Manual pdf

I don't know why people assume that if you download the PDF of the manual you must also want to print and bind it. I have the PDF and I'll probably never print the whole thing, maybe just the pages I need if necessary. Easy enough.

Yep, and I carry a memory stick with it on so if I break down whilst away from home, at least I can check the manual before giving a Thai mechanic the chance to fuck it up! ;)

Cheers,

For God's sake people! Steal Movies, Steal Music, Steal Software, cheat the Government form their share of your hard earned salary - but for the love of God just buy the fucking over-priced service manual from Triumph to help support them!

didnt steal their repair manual, found it.

I would never ever have bought one as have a Haynes and there is a ton of info on the forums of how to do stuff. and besides being in the mecho engineering industry for eons, spanner work comes natural.

however it always makes life so much easier to have factory procedures when something serious requires doing; even just as a reference. so if some one left one lying around, then thank you very much.

if the Triumph motorbike was an item to be used in some sort of industry, it would come complete with the FSM as does most industrial hardware, but being sold to the general public it doesnt

but I do support them with buying their stuff, as I bought a Triumph bike (of course, and not the first one either) and have bought Triumph accessories such as a centre stand, saddle bags and other odds and sods including genuine oil and air filters. all of which I could have gone with a cheaper aftermarket.

having this repair manual will help me maintain this bike in a reliable order, and as one is always being asked about it (did you restore it yourself? do they still make these? do they still leak oil, etc.etc.etc.) and oneself associating with a lot of bike riding types, sooner or later ones good word pursuades someone else to consider a Triumph. one colleague having bought a Bonneville and now so hooked about to upgrade to a Thunderbird and the other having bought a Rocket III. I think my good word maybe swayed them that last few percent

I really honestly did not know this until I 'did not' download it and read it.
If I had of know, well, ....

It wasn't just the front wheel, it was both wheels and everything in between, and it wasn't a whine, it was more of a backhanded accusation.
Most of the stuff in the document, I did not download, is, technically, way over my head. I will stick with my Haynes and the Triumph dealer.

Agree 100%. And the manual should be included with the bike at purchase. I have no problems downloading the manual. I bought a Triumph when I could have purchased anything else. And people who I speak with are interested also in buying one. I have no problem telling them Triumph are great bikes. I get nothing for putting money in Triumphs pockets for recommending their bikes like they get nothing from me for downloading a manual. Now if the manuals were 10k then I could see a problem.

Personally I have better things to do than wave the moral compass flag regarding the ills of downloading, ripping off Triumph,..blah, blah, blah. I have to decide which coast my Bonneville will take me this summer.,,,east or west.
 
I have learned alot so far about my Bonneville and amazed at the number of people out there who have added or made things to make their bike different from the norm.
As i find things out will pass on, to help other riders.

You guys will come to find that the bike is so well built, you'll not really need the service manual. Mine pretty much sits on the shelf, collecting dust (and no, you can't have it).
