Default Service manual
Hey all,

My dad bought an XL 50 and is looking to find a good shop manual for the thing. He'd like one that would show how to retrieve/clear trouble codes, show exploded views, explain procedures... all that good stuff.

Any suggestion as to who prints one for the '07 1200's??

Thanks in advance,
