I bought this repair manual a few years ago. It sat unused for a long time as my CBR didn’t need much work done. Recently, however, the clutch cable snapped. Instead of taking it to the shop and paying close to $100 in labor costs, I ordered a new OEM cable ($15 from Amazon) and, with the help of the manual, replaced the cable myself in under an hour. I no longer have the bike, but the time and money saved on just that repair was well worth the price of the book.
One of the biggest highlights of the book is that you don’t need to be an expert mechanic in order to understand what’s going on. The book is clearly written and well-photographed, taking a lot of the intimidation of mechanical work away. If you own an ’03 to ’06 CBR600RR, this, book, along with a good set of tools, should be a mandatory purchase.
