Service manual?

[qualt]

You will find the cd version that I also purchased (out of Italy) was published in March 2013 and the one you can download is from June 2013. This cd will cover every bike back to the 1970's R bikes (r50 r75 r80) K bikes F bikes and all the rest. If you are a multi bike owner this will do you well.

This one is coming out of Atlanta, GA, so hopefully it will be the same or at least just as good as what you got out of Italy.

This should be the current E Bay item number 151242103981.

This E Bay link may also work: BMW C 650 GT K19 Service and Repair Shop Manual All Years Through 2013 | eBay .

I received the DVD today and it seems to work fine. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to find what I wanted but I guess a few minutes isn't all that bad when you are only doing it for yourself (if I were a mechanic working under a flat rate I might not be too happy about it though).

So, I think the DVD version is going to be ok, but only ok as I would still rather have a paper version instead of a DVD.

However, BMW could, and should, still make all of this available on line for their customers. And it should be free.

Point in fact, but NO motorcycle manufacturer makes a service manual for FREE, so don't expect BMW to buck that trend.

I wouldn't expect BMW to provide a printed service manual for free, but now with the internet it would be very easy to make the same information, I now have on a CD, available to anyone. It would cost them virtually nothing to do.

Other companies seem to be able to make technical information available over the internet, but then again maybe they are just trying to give good customer service.

Got mine last week. It is a typical European tech manual. You get the job but prior you get all the steps to get where you need to go. The writing expressions are typical European. Some of the steps that look simple may not really be that simple.

Has anyone bought a service manual? Is it even available?

The work shop manual for the scooter is now available for purchase the part number is 01598551292 and is $105 (if you did not download it from the link earlier in this forum). This is only available for a windows based computer.
You can also download the shop manual that the dealer uses earlier in this forum and that manual will cover every BMW ever built at least till the 1950's or purchase it off ebay for about $40.

Does the one from the part number include the electrical schematic? That's what I really want!

Going off on a complete tangent here. Recently upgraded my laptop from Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) to 14.04 (Trusty Tahr). Found out that on this version, I can mount the ISO file directly as a "virtual disk." Even better, I can launch the application from this virtual disk using WINE and it works perfectly. Much nicer than having to install VirtualBox and run a copy of Windows in a VM just to use the disk. It runs much faster this way, too.

Some history: Two years ago when I first saw the direction Microsoft was taking with Windows, I decided that if I have to learn a COMPLETELY new interface anyway, it was as good a time as any to switch to Linux. Everything I'd heard implied that Ubuntu was the easiest version for a "Linux Novice" to install and get running so that's the direction I took. Since that time I'd heard about Linux Mint, and I installed that on my wife's computer. Mint would definitely be less "jarring" for a computer novice who has only ever worked with Windows. I don't know if I can do the ISO trick with Mint, though. I'll give it a try this weekend.

Ok, just downloaded this from the mega site; installed a DVD emulator from cnet.com. I've got it open but don't understand how to get anything other than the menu/list of areas. How do I access diagrams/instructions?

Enter last 7 of vintage code
Highlight area of interest
Above see menus click on middle one (i think)
Worst case scenario play with it (you can't hurt it)
