Shop manual
Hello all, Is there a shop manual available for our bikes besides the various ones on CD? Of the CD versions which ones are the most useful, which ones are pretty much useless? I'm not against computerized manuals but I do prefer paper. Any opinions, etc are welcome.

Re: Shop manual
I have a R1200R/R1200S Service Manual CD-ROM I bought on Fleabay and find it to be quite useful.
Pro's: Has all information needed to do any service, change any parts, and includes detailed diagram's of most of the procedures. On ebay the cost is minimal for the information.
Con's: Is software that only runs on Windowz. It can be cryptic if you're not familiar with specific names of parts or procedures, but with a little practice it gets easier like most things.
Is a program, not a PDF so I can't load it on my iPhone, like the 1150R service manual in PDF form.
I have not seen any printed type of service manual for the 1200R, anything I need to reference regularly I just take a screen shot and print out.
