Which manual would be the best for a guy who can change oil and is looking to learn to do more. Which is user friendly etc?

 

The clymers is much more user friendly, and steps you through things. The oem has more specific information, but assumes you know more than the basics.

 

i thought the same thing as honda buster for a while. but becuase they didnt make a clymer manual i bought a oem servise manual and they were surprisingly detailed and gave a very good step by step on how to do thi8ngs but i think that i would go with a clymer cuase they are cheaper

 

Clymer's has all of the essential information and pretty much everything you find in an oem manual plus color wiring diagrams, all for about half the price. IMO get a clymer and just download a digital copy of the oem manual.

 

Where is the best place to get them? I have been searching and have only found 93-98 Kodiak.

 

Which one are you trying to find? What quad? and year?
The dealer will be able to get one, ebay has them from time to time, and
