Some what new to the site and definitely new to Triumph (not to motorcycles or maintance of them) Possibly buying one in the future and was wondering if Triumph has the OEM service manuals that you can buy from the dealer for each model of bike ? (or do you recommend other pubishings of manuals ,like clymers or hanes) And if so what kind of prices are they asking for them? How good are they detail wise when it comes to do maintance on the bikes? And while we''re at it how is getting replacement parts from the dealer ? I'm assuming alot of the parts won't be in stock at the dealer and they'll have to order them in ? So how long might that take or are the dealers pretty good at getting the repair parts in a timely manner? I know these Triumphs are as realiable or more so as other brands but eventually they even need some tender loving care along the way , like fork seals ,wheel bearings ans such. thanks ahead of time for any input you provide...Dwaine

Ok on the workshop manual I purchased the Triumph one for my Speedmaster. It was expensive but I needed it. If I knew what I know know I would have gone for the Haynes. I think price wise they are actually cheaper and much better illustrated. Dazco has both so he would be able to give you a comparison on this.
On the parts side I am in South Africa and my dealer is about 700miles from me :silent: Anyway I have ordered parts from them and they in turn had to get them from the factory in Britain. 10 days after I placed my order I have my stuff on my doorstep. :y18:

The factory manuals are very expensive and more geared to the professional mechanic I find.
I bought a Haynes manual for my Bonneville and it's about all you need for about 1/3 of the cost.

I have both the factory service manual and the Haynes. The Haynes manual was not published when I bought my T100. I use both. The wiring diagram in the factory manual is excellent. That said, I agree with Rock; if I could only have one, it would be the Haynes for its simplicity and ease of understanding.

Arky ,
If you search the net
You might find an on line service manual
for your bike .
If you find one .... Some extremely good advice
They are hard to find and become useless quickly
& have a 404 error
So find it.... immediate make a hard copy CD
of it :wink:
ps: most Shop service manuals
from dealer are between $50 to $ 100
Here an example :

I bought a Triumph manual in 04 when I purchased my Speedy. It cost $80 and I found it to be quit good and have used a lot. Mostly to see how things work. Before I changed out my valve shims I contacted Pat at http://www.dinqua.com/. He gave me some advice that really helped me such as not having to dump the oil to turn the crank, but simply jack up the bike and turn the rear wheel in a high gear. Pat is very knowledgeable about our bikes and has a wonderful site.
