Default CrossBones Manual

Does the crossbones manual show you how to do basic stuff like ---

- replace hand grips
- remove seat

If you mean the owners manual, yes..it shows how to remove the seat but it doesn't address hand-grip removal.

the owners manual gives you some basic things but like jasperpso said the service manual is the best thing to have. it'll shows you everything front to back on your bike and has all the specs youll need.

Well if you got the tools and know how to use them, you can do about everything yourself on the bike.

Changing grips is hardly a 'manual' job as it's so easy to do, but if it builds confidence then go ahead..
