What should I do for a service manual? My dealer said they don't make them for the '02 yet. Would another year be ok to use, or has anything major changed enough to matter? Does anyone have any opinions on Clymer v.s. Polaris brand manuals?

 

The OEM manual costs more for sure, but it cannot be matched for the right information. I paid $50 for the big thick binder manual, and it has paid for itself more than once.Bubba

 

I would have to agree with Bubba on that one, I think the Clymer or Haynes manuals are good for people that don't have alot of background mechanically because It Is more of a step by step than the OEM. The OEM manual has lots more info though. I don't think there were any major changes In those two years, so either way should be ok, but like Bubba said, If you are mechanically inclined the OEM manual is the way to go.

 

Sorry to say, but your dealer if full of it. There is a guy selling a Polaris brand service manual for a 2002 Scrambler 500 on Ebay. Here

 

Yep I would get a new dealer !! LOL

 

Thanks guys.

 

I just bought the exact same book from 'Predator03'. It seems to have everything. I paid $25, and I think he said he paid $40 new.

 

Thanks again Predator03.
