Ebay Service Manuals

Hi Everyone,

I noticed a lot of Spyder Service manuals in PDF format on ebay for download.

Has anyone tried these manuals? I am looking for one on a SE5 Unit.

Are worth it?

Thanks.

I coughed up the "Big bucks" and bought one off ebay on a disk.... like $8.95 if I remember right.

Really no need for the disc as you can burn a copy once you download it.

As far as I can tell, some fellow is buys a stock manual, takes it apart, illegally scans it complete and nicely indexes it. In summary, it is a pretty much perfect copy for way less than one from the dealer.

Yep, I'd say it's worth it.

You can download free pdf parts manuals right from BRP too.

And you can also download the owners manuals free off the BRP site too....

Here is an example: 2008 owners manual

I downloaded the 2010 RT service manual from Midwest Manuals for $14. I find it very good, the cost to print it if you prefer a hard copy, might make it cheaper to buy the manual. But if you are satified with just printing out the section you need to to do the task you have in mind this is a good option.

I have one and have no complaints. i've used it several times and was very pleased with the delivery times and the low cost. I even got a copy from them via download at no additional cost. Mine says Midwest Manuals on it.

Yes, I ordered one and it is great. Over a 1,000 pages. It evened contained the dealer service notices. I found it was well worth the ten dollars it cost.
