You may find it hard to find a paper manual (which I would prefer) but you may find something online that you can download. I had a very quick look and found this.

Hope this helps.

Thanks , I'd prefer a paper manual too but the only one I've found is a genuine Suzuki one and it's around €90 delivered from Ireland . Hoping to find something cheaper similar to the Haynes but not having much luck .

Looking for a 1050 Service manual as well... but in lack, I could probably use one for 1000 for now. But.. I can't really seem to download the service manual from that site...?

I read somewhere that Haynes has been sold to another company.... perhaps as a consequence, they won't be publishing new "paper" manuals (although existing ones will still be available); anything for new(er) models will in future be downloadable only.
Speaking personally, although they're handy, and reasonably-priced  (at least in comparison with most manufacturers manuals!), Haynes' more recent manuals aren't a patch on the older ones - I think they went downhill once the murky b&w photos replaced the very clear line drawings. And I like to have a printed manual I can carry around and cover in oily fingerprints  :fix:
I don't know about current bikes, but any sort of manual (manufacturer's or "3rd party") for modern cars seem rare - nothing around for my Mazda or Hyundai!

If you find a pdf, use someone like doxdirect to print & bind it: I've used them a couple of times now & very happy with the results.

I can't see anything on there you can actually download. It just tells you what's in the manual, not actually see anything or download anything
Am I being blind??
