The Nevada and I are getting along better now. I think at first it was just something different that I needed to adjust to, but now that I've got close to 1,000 miles it, she's a keeper.
I'm looking to learn how to do the basic maintenance tasks on my Nevada, so I thought getting the service manual would be a good place to start. I thought I saw somewhere I could buy it online the other day, but I can't find it now of course. Does anyone know somewhere it's available?
One more thing, I'm looking to possibly replace my turn signals. Is there a recommendation for something different that looks better than stock, which is I know is subjective? Thanks for any help.

Smallblock service manuals are available on the Files page of the yahoo group:

Thanks for the replies, so there's no one all inclusive workshop manual? I don't mind paying.
What I really want to do is to be able to change the oil/air filter, brake pads, maybe take off the pipes for cleaning. I can let the shop do the rest. Is there anything else I'm missing there for easy maintenance? Thanks again.

I've done all that on my V7
The manuals sugested should help, I think theres even how to's for those jobs on the yahoo small block group you really should check. theres definitly some good information regarding oil change.
you may need a 7mm allen for the front brake.
the cans come off easy although I would not remove the front part of the exhaust from the cylinder head without good reason.
the air filter is probably the hardest job, not technically difficult just very time consuming so expect to spend a couple of hours the first time you try this.
other easy jobs you may try. changing spark plugs and checking valve lash.
spark plugs are so damned simple to change and inexpensive I changed mine the week I bought my bike.

Other than the bodywork & some frame lugs, the Nevada, Breva & early (twin throttle body) V7 Classic & Cafe Classic are virtually the same. Most of the instructions for one will apply to the others. Do loosen the nuts (5mm allen key) on the exhaust headers every now and again - they tend to seize on the threads with the heat and long use. Basic maintenance is easy & straight forward, apart from the aforementioned air filter - the yahoo group Files pages is your friend here. Enjoy.

I found a few more interesting things:

The top one is on the side of the tank, the other is on the top of the side panel. They're small so no big deal, but I'd like to fix them if possible, is that possible?
This is looks like a left over choke lever, but I'm wondering what it is:

Thanks for any help.

On the left handlebar switch is the lever to advance throttle for cold starts. Not really a choke. Should have a cable to it that goes to pivot on TB just like the throttle.

Thanks Steve. That's interesting for a bike fuel injection. I'll have to consult the manual to see how to set it as it's not a good cold starter. If you don't let it warm up a few minutes, it dies on the first clutch pull, though is fine after that.
-
At least on my Cali, it simply holds the throttle on while the bike warms up. You could also twist the throttle and hold it while it warms.
If I remember right, in colder areas, your supposed to use it or the bike won't start, easily at least. I just twist the grip a touch and my bike fires right up.

On my Nevada the lever provides a slightly higher idle that the bike really enjoys when I start it cold. Without the lever operated it'll start and idle, but it stumbles upon acceleration when it is cold. With the lever pulled I still get some of that but it is not as bad. The difference is maybe 200 RPM.
