Purchased this manual because I recently bought a leftover ’09 V Star 1300. I wanted to know how to do my own work on the bike. So far I’ve found some misinformation in the book. During the initial oil change at 600 miles I found that it directs you to the wrong plug to drain oil!! Other than this, the book seems to be informative as to capacities and torque measurements.
Great manual! I’ve got the factory manual also – $70 – ouch! There are no photographs! The Clymer manual has tons of pics, exploded views and color wiring. I do see the oil change photo is corrected. I’ve had a lot of bike and lot of manuals. I laugh when someone tells me a ‘factory’ manual is better. Yamaha oem in particular suck.

Consisted of very vital info on my repairs. Covered several repairs which were unknown to me.I would recommend this to everyone.
