XT600E workshop manual

Hi folks,
I've been looking around for a workshop manual to go with my 2004 XT600E. Is the Clymer manual which covers the XT up to 1989 really the best and most up to date manual available? I'm a bit reluctant to buy a manual that's 15 years out of date! Do Yamaha sell a more up to date manual? If so I can't find it on the net and does any one know if its any good if it is available?
Matt

I don't call the Clymer manual best but it works fine with my 1994 XT600E (though the manual is about previous kick starter models. It covers basic service facts for all XT models. Check out http://www.xt600.com.br/manuais/fichasXT600E/ for assembly and parts. I used to know that the latest XT's were in 2003.

Best wishes

Hi Cozcan,
Yeah, I think its a grey import that for one reason or another wasn't sold/registered in the UK till 2004. So I guess it's really a 2003 XT600E!
