Default Good manual for my train

I have a 09 train, looking for a good manual to learn the ins and outs, maintenance wise. Any recommendations?

Get the Harley manual. the only way to fly. The Clymer ones don't come close with the info provided. The best $60 you will ever spend on your ride is the Harley manual.

+1 to this. I have the Clymers version for my 05 train. And had to go and buy the HD one to. Clymers is good but it's nothing compared to the HD version.

Sometimes on Ebay you can get digital version for like $5! You pay then they give you a link to an FTP site where you download the manual. I think its great if you got a laptop or iphone.

I ended up buying a hard copy first, and then found a link to get the PDF version which I use all the time cause I have it at work, and on a thumb drive to carry with me when I need it. If I had that first, I probably would have thought twice about getting the hard copy of the manual, but it is nice to have a hard copy of it regardless.
