Owners Handbook

In the unlikely event that anyone out there with a 906 is as anal as me . . .

No problem Mc tool we weirdos must stick together - Hell it's the only help we're going to get.

(Well that and my old mate Mr Jack Daniels maybe . . .)

Pleased someone on the forum got it and - I assume - will unite it with his bike, as it were.

Hamish, the solution is get a used manual and keep it on the bike. I keepo a new one at home and a more rancid one in the tools compartment. It does come handy sometimes :)

you never know. Could be the wiring diagram comes handy if there`re problems or you don`t remember the correct tire pressure...

I don't want to sound like a blowhard but there is nothing in that book ( and I havn't even seen one yet ) that could help me on the road side .... specially the wiring . There is nothing on my Paso I have not fully investigated ( pulled to bits and put back together at least as good as it was ). and a owners book will at best help with small problems ...... I mean if there is a rod poking out of the cases or the bike is engulfed in a fireball your not going to be lookin at the owners book :P. I just want it to have that's all , ya know I probly wont even read it . :) :)

I carry wiring diagram with wire colour chart and 12v tester on my 907. On 999 I carry a handbook(2nd hand copy with all foreign languages removed) for codes and reset instructions. Never needed them though, most used item is breakdown/recovery card.

I guess it what your used to . I have spent most of the last 30 years fixin home appliances and well a big bunch of wires ,either numbered or colour coded are 2nd nature to me . A wiring harness on a motorbike is a piece of piss ,slightly less so without a wiring diagram . but as a branch manager I really struggled , just not my thing , I mean I always got there but I had to work at it where others seemed to find it easy. :)

My only skill - if skill it can be called- is a complete and fundamental knowledge of how to use my Visa card . . .

I only keep handbooks and toolkits etc. because I have an unnatural need for completeness on a concours bike.

Who knows, I may even sit on it one day . . ..

By the way 900streetfighter I have a complete and unmarked (and I mean unmarked) workshop manual, ring-bound, for a 2003 999S. I don't need/want it - let me know if you're interested.

Rhino, I'm with you.
As a lawyer, I also am much more skilled using my Visa.
But... I don't know why, sometimes I try to use some screwdriver.
The results are often/always not so nice :mrgreen:
