Question

Answer
Allan,

I recommend the manufacturer's Service Manual. Clymer would be my second pick. Avoid other brands for lack of clarity and information.

Visit "www.atvfrontier.com" for atv resoirce information. Again, visit "www.bikebandit.com" for viewing parts microfiche, parts prices, and shop manuals.
