I recently needed to grab some information from the Street Twin service manual and was very frustrated by having to pay an hourly fee. I wanted to download the content to use offline or print out as needed. You apparently can download or print individual sections, but there are nearly 600 sections for my Street Twin.

I'm a software developer and I thought I'd whip up a quick script to download all of them, but one thing led to another and...

There's now a Firefox Add-On, TriTun Downloader, you can install that lets you download everything at once. Hopefully with just one hour session.

For example, here's what you'll see if the linked documents are PDFs:

And here's what you'd see if they were HTML files:

It creates a single page that you can save as PDF or (as I'd recommend) as a complete web page for later access.

I just now saw the thread that I can buy a Haynes service manual, but this might still be helpful if you need the OEM one or if you have a different bike.

You'll see a download icon in the URL bar like the first image when you view the service manual or other documents on TriTun. I recommend trying it out on some of the freely accessible documents. The stuff under Owner / Owner Literature is accessible without paying the fee for the Street Twin at least.

When the documents are PDFs, you'll just get a folder full of all the PDFs. If it's a bunch of HTML fragments, like the service manual seems to be, then it will create one big document with the entire manual which you can download as a PDF.

Tritun downloader use

I used the FoxFire add-on this weekend on Tritun and it works as promised. I've got a relatively slow internet connection and was able to download 3 service manuals and some other documents in less than an hour. It does download the entire manual as one .pdf document so it is harder to find the section you are looking for and some pages get cut off and print some pics across two consecutive pages. It's not an ideal way for a service manual to be looked at but I got what I needed in a short span of time with very little effort. Thanks for the add-on functionality!

Yikes! I don't really see how this add-on would cause that sort of thing to happen to you. The extension only gets permissions to tritun.net and localhost for testing, so it should not have access to your bank website even if it was a virus.

Obviously I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I'll certainly vouch for the extension being virus-free!

As a side note on the images. Yea, they don't come out great in PDF, but that's why I suggest the HTML download option. That way you have the original SVG that can be zoomed infinitely since it is a vector graphic.

I had to get the Service Manual in html because of the size, and all worked fine. The smaller ones I got in pdf and the circuit diagrams came out fine. I think there was only one that came out a bit fritzed, but it wasn't an important one (IIRR it was special tools, which is in the service manual anyway). It's a great tool.

Help please.
OK I'll admit I'm old and stoopid but what have I done wrong; I downloaded the extension. I went to the Tritun site (on Firefox!) and was able to download the pdf version of the tyres info, but I can't find anyway of downloading the html version. It is probably significant that in your illustration there is a little "jigsaw piece" visible in the address line; I don't have that. What have I failed to do?
