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
