Haynes or Clymer for F700GS

[Roger Chatterton]

This might be a dumb question, but I have hunted aroundEbay etc to see if Haynes or Clymer do a Workshop Manual for the F700GS model. Can't find one, and have had to wade through loads of garbage to no avail!
So- does that mean that
A. there isn't one in print yet,....
or
B. they're not going to bother as the bikes are too complicated for any home/Sunday mechanics ....

Coming from an Airhead bike, they might just be right !

So, anyone know if it's possible to get hold of one ?
Thanks all
Roger

It's a relatively new bike - I've got an F650/F800 GS Haynes, so I'm sure one will surface eventually!

Thanks Snappo- I wondered if that might be the case. Wonder how long it'll be? Guess they have to take one apart ?

650/700/800 - all basically the same bike. Whatever is in the 650/800 manual should be enough of a start I'd have thought.

Re you're point B) nah, modern bikes work just about the same as old ones, they just have more electronics controlling the oily bits, that's all

Thanks Gigsy - maybe I'll look for a used 650/800 Haynes to start off.
Re point B. - 'but I don't need to RTFM just to change the spark plugs on my Airhead .....

I suppose it does make access easier when the cylinders are hanging out the sides of the bike
