Question Service manual question

I have a 1995 Shadow VT1100c, and I don't have an official service manual. All I have is a Clymer manual. I would like the the original (or something like it). Or would the Clymer manual do fine for annual servicing purposes?

Many thanks in advance!

I prefer the Haynes manual. Now you can get them in a really nice hard bound cover and in full color, witch is nice when your looking at wire pics. Believe or not I got mine in mint condition at a flee market for $15.

That one seems to be broken. It gets you to Helm but you have to back up to get to the manual. This link gets you right to it; $40 + shipping.

I wouldn't (let's be polite and say) waste my time with Clymer and Haynes. I make enough mistakes on my own and have no need to compound them with the errors in their books.

There is a free Haynes PDF download..but..

I bought the Honda, Haynes and Clymer manuals and I refer to all three when I work on my '92 VT1100.

I feel like any manual, no matter what brand, will serve the purpose for most maintenance and overhauls.
