Picked up my Strada Friday, was excited to learn that it came with the manuals on a USB device. Well, I was excited. Plugged it into my windows 7 laptop, said download the PDF of the service manual, and I get an error message saying file can't be copied. Poked around a bit, tried it from Linux, seems like my stick is partially corrupt. Anyone else having luck? I'm bummed, I want to be reading the service manual, lots of questions.
Even if you get it to load its just about the same as the book. Just about worthless in my book. Need the shop manual to do any real work. Have not found one yet. Hopefully someone will see this and post the real shop manual.
That is the first time I've heard of a pdf being picky what operating system is being used, interesting..
It could be that the USB stick is formated as an image and not an actual mass storage device. I haven't actually seen/used one yet but that's often the case with this kind of stuff. Very odd that it would be biased to to a 32bit OS...that part I don't really believe.
*Think* I know what you mean, regardless I will try to remember to take a peek at one of the usbs when I can.
I tried 32 bit windows xp, same result. It's a dud, I'll have the dealer have a look at mine, or have a look at one that the dealer has.
The pdf's worked on mine, but the application that ran the linked PDF's was 32 bit. The dealer can reinstall the entire package for you.
There are a lot of pdf readers out there. I used 'foxit' when I used windows XP... I am sure if that does not work with Win7 Win8 or whatever then there are several others to pick from, besides the one from Adobe themselves.
If you guys have a gmail account, try uploading your PDFs to google drive and see if they'll render in your browser. You could also share the manuals with other people on the board through google drive

Bingo. In addition, I've been asking for all manuals that ever existed to be downloadable from some official Husqvarna site. As far as I am concerned there is no better way to promote the brand.
i must have the best dealership out there , i already have the complete factory shop manual , i got it when i picked up my new terra this past weekend , i would recommend seeing your dealer, the manual i have has everything in it , complete right down to all torque specs ,
I got if for free , my dealer gave it to me when i picked up my bike, he knew i like to do all of my own work , its the factory manual , he put it on a memory stick for me and then i printed it out , approx 154 pages .
