I went to buy a Clymer repair manual from the honda dealer. it said years 97-02, all 250 models. it's wrappped in plastic. dealer thot it wouldn't cover the electric shift. It wasn't clear on the manual covers, exactly which models it covered.

does anyone have this manual? does it give info on the electric shift?

who sells this manual for the cheapest? (repairmanuals.com was like $27) dealer wants $42.

I notice in 1st gear it feels like i have no hold back, almost like it's freewheelin in neutral when i go downhill. i think it's the one-way bearing on the clutch. but i wanna make sure there's detailed info in manual to do this job.

hey anyone..., when you do this bearing, are there any other clutch components or other parts that make sense to replace while ya got it apart??

thanks fellers.

 

does anyone know?

 

okay guys, according to cyclemanuals.com, the Clymer does NOT cover the ES model. When i punched in the '02 with ES option at repairmanuals.com, they only gave me the option to buy the Honda factory manual. they do sell the Clymer, so i'd conclude from all this that the Clymer does NOT cover ES models.

both cyclemanuals and repairmanuals.com are within $1 in price and close on shipping. hope this helps someone.
