Anyone try this digital shop manual?

It's cheap but is it a complete manual in usable digital format?

Looks a little sketchy -- the listing is for the shop manual but has a bunch of details for fender flares?

Is it anything more than the pdf of the factory shop manual that you can easily find for free?

That is all that I am looking for. Not sure if this group advocates such things. But where would I tell a friend to look for such a pdf?

It's $20 for the real deal: https://www.ktm-parts.com/3206302.html

That's very reasonable. I'm used to the manufacturers charging too much.

Yes, gone are the days when it was hundreds of dollars for the shop manuals. I think the manufacturers realized that in this digital age if they charged that much people would just pirate it and they'd get nothing. When they charge a reasonable fee I'm more than happy to pay it to thank them for making the information available.

I have the shop manual and could send it to you discretely haha I think they frown upon it being posted openly

I bought it from a link like that, no problems

Any chances I could discretely grab that manual too ? I'm quite happy to buy you some beers or beverage of your choice via cardless cash or bank transfer ? Just so you aren't doing it for free.

I just wish the service manual were not so incomplete. There are huge gaps, whole areas of the bike that are not even mentioned, much less explained. And then there are other areas where they repeat the same information over and over rather than just reference it. And, maybe someday I will start to understand how to effectively interpret KTM's way of writing electrical schematics. It is very difficult to follow their wiring diagrams.

<Rant off; sorry>

Oh, and on topic, one thing to note about cheap PDF files that people sell online: Not only do they violate copyright law, but they also lack any navigation functionality. Not that KTM does a great job in that respect, but it is a difference. Personally, I prefer not to be an intellectual property thief, so I buy the genuine disc.

Disc ordered form AOMC. Thanks for posting the link.

Last I checked, They didnt have the manuals on the KTM website anymore.

I bought a hardcopy of Service Workshop Shop Repair Manual Book 2017 RC 390 from ebay for $35.

I don't like how all the photos are black and white, about 2" x 3".
Kinda hard to see good detail in a small, black n white photo.

Nevertheless, here it is in case anyone interested.

On my '15 RC I just use the Duke manual, served me well and easily found online.
