Wanted to buy: factory service manual (printed, physical copy) for 2012 non-ES Super Tenere.
If you have one to sell, please let me know what you want for it.
Thanks!

I got my FJR shop manual from Yam Man Store several year ago... Expensive ($100) but worth it.
Btw, check ebay occasionally as I just found and bought a used Super Ten Service manual.... ~$70 incl shipping.
Checking the seller's history, it had been posted and re-posted a dozen times over the past few months.

I know it's against forum rules to post links to any Ebay $10 manuals, so tell me this, if these online sellers are illegal how do they get away with openly selling on Ebay? I know Ebay watches for this kind stuff and will delete any post for illegal items.

This is the disclaimer on one such ad:

If not legal, how do they get by selling thousands of copies?

Don't know and don't care about them on Ebay.

It's not allowed here.

And here's the paper copy you get... it's huge and jam packed with info (just like the FJR manual I bought years ago).

I had no idea this was going to be a controversial topic ... anyway I don't want a service manual anymore.
Mods please feel free to delete.
