1.0 out of 5 stars Does Clymer not have an editor?, August 19, 2009

This review is from: Clymer Bmw: F650 : 1994-2000 (Clymer Motorcycle Repair) (Paperback)

I recently purchased a bmw f650 motorcycle that came with this manual. It came time to change the rear tire. The manual gave decent instructions on how to do this properly. It wasn't until I got to putting the wheel back on that the glaring shortfalls in this publication became apparent. The text makes reference to a table 5 for specifications regarding chain tightness. There is no table 5 in that chapter, and the table 5 covering the whole book (in chapter 1) does not have anything to do with chain tightness. To find the proper torque to tighten the axle nut down, the text references table 2 without any page number. Only by looking through the entire book did I find table 2, which was in a different chapter later in the book, and discovered that the proper torque is 100 nM. I would have been better off just looking on faq.f650.com or a different manual.

The manual works well if you're an experienced mechanic. It you're buying this manual and think you can do EVERYTHING on your bike, think again.

I think the guys at Clymer do a good job producing these books, and I'm glad I bought this manual. It's better than the original manual that comes with the bike (the service manual costs extra from BMW, and it's EXPENSIVE!)

Good purchase if they keep the cost of their books under $29.00; I'm a happy customer.

This must be where BMW improved their manuals from. 1000% better than 1997 BMW manual, although upgraded newer manuals like Clymer.
