    Does anyone have one of these or know where to get one?? Just got my nice new HRC fireblade and would like a manual. Easier said than done!

    The 2012 onwards manual is like rocking horse droppings to find, you can get away with the 2008-2011 for most things as apart from fairings and suspension the rest is pretty much the same! If you do find one there will be a few lads here asking for a copy

    I think like most manufacturers Honda in recent years have switched to an online system which the dealers have access too, this allows any updates, changes and service bulletins to be updated at any time by Honda. This online manual means the hard copies that were mostly scanned and found on PDF files have mostly vanished for newer machinery.

    Think your right shiny as they only have to replace a page with a PDF rather than reprinting a whole manual when only minor changes

    I had the intention of scanning this for the benefit of the forum, but the manual is huge and bound in such a way that makes scanning a total PITA.

    Well worth the money!

    Cheers for the link, i've been looking for ages. Just before I purchase, does this manual have fairing removal etc specifically for the 2012-2013 as its different to previous years. I know it says 08-13 but its not just generalised to 1 model?

    The fairing section is split between '08-'11 and after '11 so yes both models are covered separately

    Not a lot of use as this book is well bound and is next to impossible to open flat enough to scan without breaking the bindings.
