Repair Manuals??

I recently bought a 96 DR 650, but can't find a repair manual for it anywhere! I don't think Clymer or Haynes makes one. Does anybody have any advice or can prove me wrong??!! I need to know basic maintenence procedures like chain tightening, oil capacity etc.

Thanks!

These bikes haven't changed much since '96. Also check out the DR650 thread on advrider for tons more info.
Manual is here:

Yeah, it's unfortunate but neither Haynes nor Clymer makes a manual for the DR. The service manual is useful but does assume fair mechanical knowledge on the part of the user.

If you haven't, subscribe to the DR 650 group on Yahoo. Another decent source of maintenance and other tips along with the advrider thread.

Question

So, if your DR is first registered in 96, is it an SE model or earlier? It makes a big difference.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
