Service Manuals on PDF?
« on: July 01, 2011, 02:00:36 PM »
Hehe, Much easier to waste away some time looking at the Service Manual on my laptop than trying to hide the big book.
Does anyone know where I can get PDF versions of the Service Manuals for  '02KX125 and '01KX500?

Thanks guys..... 8-)

Since that information is copyrighted and sold for dough it will be a hard find getting one on .pdf

Yikes, I wasn't looking for a pirated copy.
Is there any place selling real versions in PDF?

A while ago someone on here mentioned that there was a 500 repair manual on Scribd but try as I might I couldn't find it.
I have an account on there with masses of other bike manuals in my collection that people can access but still no KX500 one for them otherwise I would link to it.
Here's the rest of my bike manual collection anyway, there's about 180 documents in there so its worth looking through for owners of other bikes.

Although they are in my "collection" that doesn't mean I put every one of them on Scribd though as I can make a collection that contains documents that other people have put up.

 :-D  Cheers Demo,
  I found you there a few days ago, (uploaded an ipl for a 51/55 husky I had.) 
Demographic has a great amount of info well worth checking out.

 There is some 500 stuff that starts here and continues for a few pages :

 Unfortunately you have to snoop around the album for more info.  the owner is computor illiterate and  can't figure how to organize it to save his life...:lol:

Glad its some use to you, regards Scott.

Cheers Scott,
I would like to say great Minds think alike! :lol:
  Although I'm better at following...
  Yes I am at arboristsite also!  but not nearly as much as the bike sites.
  I have learned alot about saws there.  I couldn't stand to see my friends spending $500 to $700 on a new saw when all They needed was a new top end and carb kit.   Well might as well get a big bore kit ehh?! :-D
  I have done a little port work but nothing like Sneller or the others.
  Any way Thank you for posting all the info,  wherever it may be!
    Ta'
 Tuck-O \o/

 I'll have to apologize for the bad "English"  but I am Trying! :roll:

Can't say I had noticed any bad English anyway. No worries at all understanding what you say.
I know what you mean about the cheap saw, I have an 038 AV Super and an 017. Both of those I got given and with a bit of work they have done well.

The 038 needs a rebuild now but as it says it was made in west Germany I assume that means it was also made before the Berlin wall fell so I reckon its due a good bit of looking at anyway.

The stuff Bsneller (spelling? is that right?) does is very good but I just want my saws to work for me, not the other way around so I can't see me making any hotsaws in the near future.
Take care, regards Scott.

  I'm currently under the influence of some good painkillers, so please disregard! :-D

There is a good market here for anything Stihl  and magnesium/ old.
  The Older saws are heavy and seem to have plenty of grunt or pulling power and the newer saws turn alot faster.
 I sold an 075 AVE and an 051ave with no problem.   That 075 weighed 23lbs. without a bar and chain! They were neat to re-build and get running but there was no way I could actually use them.

  Take Care and let me know if there is anything stateside I can get for you cheaper than you can get on your side of the pond.
