Triumph shop manual that is. the notion that it doesn't mention certain things because it's meant for experienced techs like someone said recently just isn't an excuse. Not one reference i can find for the hidden fuel filter, not something any experienced tech would just automatically know. and even if it were, then why mention how to remove and install jets, something that even a mediocre tech would know ! They show that along with numerous simple things that most anyone would know, yet this uniqe hidden fuel filter isn't even mentioned. Again, what a rip-off of $80.

Sorry, hope this doesn't start a whole "thang", but i just couldn't resist because i am pissed. Nothing i ever look for is in there except things even i already know. Haynes.....hurry up and help me !!! :asb:

actually it's a apartment car port. so i really only have one car space. The large space you see is part of my area plus the space for another renter who's car just happens to be gone that day.always have to back my car out to have room to work on the bike.
