I'm going to buy a service manual for my '00 400EX, and I need to know if the best one to get is the factory Honda manual, or is one of the other brand manuals better? I don't care about price, just information covered, which one is more thorough? Thanks.

 

Better buy the factory Honda service manual it's around $40 from your Honda dealer.

 

Go with the Honda manual.

 

Motorhead,
If you really want to get all the info, The best way would be to have both the factory and Clymer manuals. I have the factory manual for my Warrior but I've found that certain topics are covered in a more extensive way in one than the other, and the photos are from different angles in each book.

 

I have had many of both manuals, and the honda is by far much better as it never assumes anything. THe climber always skips stuff that they think you should know

 

so a Honda manual is about $40????
