Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech PDF manual for 865 carbed Americas/SM

Hey everyone, first post here and new America owner.

I tried a search already but couldn't find what I was looking for. Does anyone have a pdf copy of the owner's manual for the carburetted 865 America/SM?

My bike is an 08 and it didn't come with the owner's manual. I know that Triumph has pdf copies of the owner's manuals on their site, but it seems to be only for the latest models.

I already have the Haynes manual so it's not too big of a deal, but still would be nice to have.

Cheers

EBay has the Factory Blue Binder shop manuals all the time, avg price $35. Just make sure you're buying one for the correct model (270 degree crank, America, Speedmaster and Scrambler ) and correct years ('02-'08). There are better publications available to understand our carburetors. I'll see if I can find you some links.

Just purchased a 2005 America in September and ran into the same issue. Got a user manual for it finally and it was a total waste. It is extremely generic. You have to be better off with a service manual.

Welcome ! You don't need no steenkin' manual !

You has us !

Thanks for the replies. I wasn't really looking for it for a particular reason. If one turns up it would be nice but it's certainly not a must-have.
