vifferman Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) I use the Clymers, but mostly because I've never seen a Haynes manual for a Banshee. Get both Edited July 25, 2011 by vifferman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barahonapr Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Yea I've seen it around but was Gona get the cloners because that s what everyone seems to use on here. Although I have heard that some stuff is incorrect on the clymers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 The clymers is just for the banshee where as the Haynes is for the warrior and banshee, bonus if you have both but waste if you only want banshee info, Haynes is half the price if the clymers though. I use Haynes for my cars and theyre good, but I bought a clymers as most people on here use it so for reference I bought it aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicklez Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have both but only use the Clymers really. Sometimes look in the Haynes. Somebody gave me the Haynes for nothing. Both helpfull. Haynes is cheaper I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06specialedition Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Clymers...have never even looked in a Haynes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcblaster Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have the clymers. I think its a good book for the most part but theres some missing info. I cant remember exactly what it was but it said to torque the bolt to spec. which could be found on table 3. Turn the pages to table 3 and nothing is listed about it. Some of the example pics suck too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 i prefer the haynes. there is some extra info from the making of the book that can kinda help you along there is also more pictures and parts breakdowns i feel the info is easier to understand. either way both manuals will help in the day to day problems with banshee's but most the tricks are not in either book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Factory Yamaha is the best but you pay for it. Never used either Haynes or Clymers for the Banshee but I use alot of Haynes manuals for cars and trucks. As was mention, the Haynes also covers Warriors so you may have to sort through some extra reading to find things. Everybody here uses the Clymers but as was mentioned, there is some missing info. The factory manual cost more but has all the info in it and once you learn how it is set up it is easy to find stuff. It even has diagrams showing how every hose, cable and wire is supposed to be routed. When you need info right now, the extra expense is worth it so you can get your bike going.
