No haynes manual for my bike

[RemaL]

With my Speed triple only a few weeks away form getting picked up. well early march. I been looking for the haynes manual for it.
Seems not.

no 1050cc speed triple manual out. anyone know what else I could get to help with routine maintenance etc...

You should be able to get the official workshop manual direct from Triumph. They certainly do one for the Sprint. It's a bit pricy though at about £75.

Link added. Yours is a relative bargain at £58.

I think Haynes only do manuals for bikes at least three years old. Perhaps there's an owners specific forum with a PDF of the workshop manual?

if so and the 1050cc was out in 2005. they should be doing one soon then. lets hope so . I am just about to send a e-mail to Haynes asking just that

Ive known Haynes bring out a manual 8 years after a bike was introduced,and of course they will only normally produce a manual for a bike if it is significantly technically different from its predesessor,are the new Triumph 1050cc models much different to the earlier 900's?.
I think Haynes also dont produce manuals for any vehicle until it has sold in sufficient numbers.

IMHO you always want to get the official factory workshop manual for any bike you buy.

OK, it may be £50 - £80 but its an investment worth making. How much is it going to cost to sort out that bolt you sheared because you set it to last year's torque setting? How much grief do you suffer before you work out that this year's wiring loom is different from last year's etc etc.

If you're going to do home servicing, thnk of the factory manual as one of the esential tools you need to do the job.
