    Been looking but seems there is not one? Am I right? or just going blind?

    What would you use other wise?

    I do like having a handy manual when doing stuff on my bikes.

    Doesn't look like they do one mate.

    You could always email them and ask if there is one in the pipeline?

    Contact Information

    I have contacted Haynes twice before, last time was for my speed triple. After 3 unreturned emails I gave up.

    I rang Haynes today and they have no plans to create a manual in the next 12 months.

    Didn't really have an answer why, but did suggest using the online manuals available on forums.

    I think Haynes waited until Honda moved onto the 08 model before producing a manual for the 04-07 model, so you never know, once Honda moves the design on again, Haynes may be tempted to create a manual for the 08-11?
