This book gets the job done efficiently. The book has lots of pictures and diagrams, including wiring diagrams in the back. The wiring diagrams are complete with wire colors and destinations. I have used the book to pull the engine on my 1984 VF500F several times. The manual led me thru the process with ease. I reccomend this book to the begginer as well as the expert.

I have this book open nearly every time I work on my bike. It's given me a lot of confidence in many of my own maintenance activities. However, there are errors in it that if not spotted would possibly cause problems and some of the pictures suffer from horrid resolution and lack of proper light or contrast which make it a little guesswork in finding the parts in question.

The index is relatively useless, leaving out a TON of shortcuts. It relies on indexing only the major sections and not usually the parts you might be looking for info on.

Even so, if you have a baby 'ceptor, and aren't already inclined as a bike mechanic, this is a must have.
