I'll second that, and add...buy the factory parts book, too. It shows every part in exploded views, with part numbers. That's useful two ways - you can buy replacement parts using the correct number (not one some hack at the parts counter has looked up for you), and you can see how everything goes together when you're working on your bike, as asuppliment to the factory service manual.

I'm familiar withan XLH, XLCH, XR,XLCR and the line of K models.

Well, I feel like this post was for me, So I bought the manual that you have a link for. I want to thank all of you for your help. I am far from having my bike running right, but at least now I can get some issues figured out a little easier.
