smiller Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 There are copies if the R1100 factory service manual floating around all over the Internet, Google and ye shall find. That said, while the factory manual is an essential reference it's not really the best teacher as it is written for a professional mechanic and assumes familiarity with proper tools and procedures, and sometimes the steps are not very detailed. For detailed step-by-step instructions the Haynes manual is probably best. Plus the many personal write-ups R1100 owners have contributed over the years can be a valuable resource as well.

terryofperry Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I cannot guide you on the best manual but there are a ton of "how to" manuals here and on the net. Our own DR is a wealth of knowledge as well as many others, no shortage of that here. Take a look around here for a few: http://www.ibmwr.org/ http://www.ibmwr.org/r-tech/oilheads/R11Manual/Oilhead_Maintenance_2-25-02.pdf http://www.ibmwr.org/r-tech/oilheads/index.shtml Be well.
