It covers everything from 25-hour break-in service through 500-hour maintenance intervals, from drive belt replacement to transmission disassembly, from brake bleeding to EPS diagnostics.

With this manual you can:

• Perform all scheduled maintenance at the correct intervals with the right fluids, capacities, and torque values
• Diagnose and repair engine performance issues using the fuel system diagnostics, Digital Wrench procedures, and trouble code tables
• Service the PVT system — inspect, remove, and install the drive belt, drive clutch, and driven clutch — with proper alignment and torque specs
• Rebuild the top and lower end of the 999cc engine with step-by-step disassembly, inspection, and assembly procedures
