Read it cover to cover.

There will be a quiz later.



Seriously, though...there's not a useless page in the book. The more you read, the more you learn...even if you don't have to "do" something, just "knowing" about it can help troubleshoot or workaround a problem until you get time to get to the root cause.

Look at some of the pictures, the parts fitted in some weren't on the production bikes, things like footpegs etc all vary.

I agree with Rat - read the thing cover to cover. Auto manufacturers buy competitor cars all the time and do a complete tear down to see what makes it tick.

I treat the service manual as my poor mans way of doing the same thing with out the expense, time or desire of tearing down a perfectly fine cycle just for curiosity sake.

Ok. I figured it out. Im going to pick 1 random page and use it to roll a fat joint and pray I never need that page for anything. It's my version of Russian roulette. I call it "American Supersport bike manual roulette"

Lol

Just kidding. I'd rather burn the Qu'aran.
