service manual question

I just went to the dealer and purchased a manual for the 2009 touring bikes. I just got home to look at it and they gave me a 2007 touring book. I checked the harley site and the first base part number is the same, it is just the last two digits(which is the year) are different. Is there any reason to return it or is the 07 book sufficient. I know that they didn't change much except frame wise.

Get the 09 my friend even tho they're similar for the most part you don't want a service maual for an 07 when you own an 09.

I will return it and get the 09. I know more has changed, I didn't know they tweaked everything, though. Well, glad I asked! Thanks!

return it. hopefully you didn't muck it up,but return it cause there are many changes from the 07 to the 09. you paid for the 09 book, don't settle for anything less. do it.
