Default service manual errors thread

just found this misprint in the 2017 touring manual. i am pretty sure the primary case will not hold 30 litres of oil.

And if you only use .9 oz you may have some issues...

The 2016 Touring Service Manual gives incorrect process for setting the security PIN.

It says cycle the ignition switch, when actually it is the kill switch that must be cycled.

It drove me nuts, until I looked in my owners manual, which had the correct procedure.

In the 2017 manual, the amount of oil for the engine is also wrong. It states 4.5 qt but has since been changed to 4 oz.
