    I took my CD rom to staples and they printed it out and bound one together for me.. Way better then scrolling thru a disc and laptop usage..

    I just print pages as I need them and put them in a 3-ring binder.

    I understand the OP's frustration. Try and find the shop manual for an '09 WR125. And even looking at the '08 manual it is a giant step down from the Japanese bike manuals in ease of use. But since that is my only gripe about my Husky I think I can live with it! [IMG]

    This is one of my major gripes with Husky also. I hesitate to even recomend the brand to someone now to wrenching because of it. And then to make it worse they took the torque settings out of the newer manuals. For a more experienced mechanic and/or someone who uses the internet a lot it is not such a big deal but still it would be nice if Husky put just a little effort into producing a manual.

    +1 on this. I also found that the printed owners manual for the 511 doesnt include the suspension adjustments ... though they are on the flash drive. Seeing as suspension setup is done in the field I guess Im supposed to transfer them to my iPhone? prefer paper when riding.... Yes I can print it, but I didnt know I needed to until it was too late.

    For comparison I was mildly shocked at how thorough my CRF450X manual was a few years ago.... Honda has certainly ugraded their game in this regard and I hope Husky does the same.

    Not a fatal flaw, just an annoyance.

    Too bad Husqvarna lacks in this area.

    KTM supplies a GREAT service manual with all there bikes....everything you need, suspension setting, carb settings, torque specs....the works.

    My old KTM book had everything you could want. I was very surprised when my 2011 Husky flash drive/manual had nothing. Local dealer was no help. It's a real over sight on their part.

    I got a digital copy of every manual I'll ever need from my dealer. All I had to do was ask.

    My only gripe is that it's hard to find info in them, like torque values. Also, their translation to English is terrible. They convert EVERY measurement in the books to U.S. units. So, even your 8mm wrench becomes a 0.315 in wrench. :D

    All,

    The manual is available to all US dealers via the dealer portal (as all manuals back to 2003 are). If you are a dealer and cannot find the needed manual, please contact me and I will posted it at my first available convenience.

    Customers,

    If you're dealer does not have a copy of the manual, then please ask them to check under the "downlads > manuals" section of the dealer portal. They can burn this file to a disk or flash drive as the files are too large to send via email.

    To the OP,

    I apologize that you're having problems obtaining the needed information, and wish I could be more of a help. I will say that most Aus. Dealers have access to the dealer area of the world website where this same information can be found; that said, they should have access to this information via that connection.

    Regards.

    If someone with a 2010 WR 300 manual could post it in a free file sharing site like this one, http://www.freefilehosting.net/, would be awesome.

    BY FAR THE WORST MODEL????
    Very poor choice of words.
    i posted all the data need on the second page before i read this.
    Ps check out how Husky is kicking every body's butt in out door mx and enduro e1,e3.
    Husky is a power house on and off the track!

    We out power the new ktm 350 with our 125 at the outdoor provincials always putting Husky in first!
    The 300 is a monster! which i know you cant deny (check your motor mounts)
    keep the comments fair.

    This thread has gone from a very specific issue about not being able to order a manual, to a more general discussion. I'll move it over to the Main forum, seems like a better fit.

    For the record, there is an issue, which I have discussed - the dealer needs to know the part number to order the manual, they cannot look up the manual via the model / year of the bike. At least that is what I recall the issue being. Things could have changed by now, or the dealer I talked to may not have the correct information.
