shop manuals
« on: January 01, 2018, 02:26:40 PM »
I'm hoping to find a source for REAL shop and parts diagram manuals for my 1995 Cali. I have downloaded and printed what I could find on the internet. Not that I am not thankful for these manuals made available for free, but the diagrams are often incomplete/lacking detail (try working on forks) or the procedures are for a way-different model. I am not looking for a freeby just some good, solid reference books.

Thanks to you all. It seems I need guidance once again.

  You can search this site.

And your local dealer is a good source.

If you've already got what the guys are linking to (i.e. the Guzzi shop manuals) it's likely that you have everything that is available. Simply put many EU manufacturers just don't produce technical info to the same standards as most Asian and US manufacturers. There's a lot of assumed knowledge and lots of details left out.

Whereas the US and many Asian manufacturers come out with a new shop manual for each model year (even if it is only a very lightly revised version of the previous model year when they are largely the same) most EU manufacturers come out with a manual only when a new vehicle/chassis/engine is introduced, then they may over the life of that vehicle produce one or more supplements (for a new engine, or new fuel system, or some other change).
