 Ok but not great September 12, 2009
JJS (Connecticut)
The manual is complete and includes general information about the work to be performed but is often lacking in step by step specifics that would be helpful. In addition, the fact that so many different models are covered in one text can lead to some confusion.
 DON'T BUY THIS BOOK June 19, 2009
Carl H. Patten (Panama City Beach, FL)
I have over a decade of experience of working on motorcycles, snowmobiles, & ATVs. I bought a 1975 Beemer as a project because I have never worked on one, plus their just a cool bike period.
Cons:
1) There are no wire #'s associated to the wiring diagrams(in BMW Books).
2) The book helps you take the bike apart not together.
3) Missing many picture angles that would be helpful.
4) No writing on how something should be when a picture isn't provided.
Pros:
1) All specs seem to be consistent.
2) Covers a large range of bikes (both years and models).
3) Its inexpensive.
4) Its cheaper than using fire logs (doubles for starting fires).
Difficult to find what you need February 27, 2009

I find this manual just about useless. They have crammed too many models into one manual and the information is so convuluted it is almost impossible to find the information specific to your bike.
I have 2 R100GS bikes and finally end up just doing the work rather than try and follow anything in this book.
I will say the wiring diagram is pretty nice, but that's available for free from several sources.
When I first got it I tried just to find what size the tires on my bike are and that information, along with much other useful information is not in the manual at all.
I would definitely look elsewhere if you have an airhead BMW.
 Comprehensive July 16, 2008

Pretty comprehensive manual considering the range of models and years it covers. I recommend putting index tabs throughout the sections you're about ready to use that are applicable to you model. Good schematics, breakdowns and fairly clear photos.

If youre in the USA (the Haynes manual is prefered if you're in the UK) and need a thorough well diagrammed and photographed repair and maintance manual, this is it. It tells you all of the tools you'll need for each project and goes over maintance procedures and fault diagnosis step by step. An invaluable resource.
