4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the bible for repairing your Honda Rebel, February 27, 2004

By	David A. Bayliss "DAB" (Delray Beach, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having a slightly flakey Honda Rebel it became very important to me to be able to find my way around the bike. This manual is extremely informative and extremely accurate. It does detail just about everything you need to know.

However for a relative neophyte such as myself it has some significant deficiencies:
1) The photographs are black and white and quite low contrast, you cannot always quite see what they are pointing at and thus finding it on the bike is tough
2) I think these manuals are designed for a motorcycle repair shop, they often assume too much. 'Quickly check the compression before reseting the timing' is not detailed enough for someone that is proud he found the ignition switch ...
3) They were only half updated for the newer model. The 199x model rebels are different to the older ones but all the differences are contained in a seperate chapter

As I say, I don't think there is anything any better ... but this manual will be a little intimidating for a newbie ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Clymer Always Excellent, August 16, 2006

By	Michael H. Hart - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Top quality routine maintenance and repair manual. The pictures with the text and the step by step format is a home mechanic's "right hand" tech manual.

This is just one of many Clymer manuals I've had over many years. Always top shelf material.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clymer manual, June 11, 2007

By	S. Boulware "Shima" (Florence, Ky) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this book to help trouble shoot starting problems I was having with the bike. It gave me very precise instructions, and easy to follow illustrations.

I was able to find and fix the problem in no time. I recommend it if you have this bike.
