Well yes and no. Yes it is identical to the factory manual but no it isn't authentic. It's a very well done plagiarism. Also that price is outrageous I bought one for less then half that just because I wanted to see what was up with it. Now that I know I can honestly say it is outright theft what this person is doing.

If I were you, I would Google search "Daytona 675 shop manual" and see if you can find any examples of more authentic sources.

Well that source isn't authentic either since Triumph has never published the manual digitally.

Looks to be fake. Triumph Service Manuals come in 3 ring binders with all of the pages being loose leaf.

I have one in stock if you want me to send you one I can. PM me if your interested. Thanks

 

[MacBandit]

The 3 ring binder is a new thing all the old Triumph manuals were bound. I even have an official Triumph 675 manual thats bound down at the service shop.

The very first copies were yes but they didnt make very many of those. All of the service manuals from 2006 and newer came in 3 ring binders.

 

[MacBandit]

True. I was simply correcting the statement that 'all' Triumph manuals came in a 3 ring binder. They do now but thy didn't use to. In anycase I know this eBay one is not legitimately for sure as I bought one and can tell that it is a copy.

 

[brancart1]

Yeah no worries. I should have clarified.

I bought one of these a while back for about half the price. As mentioned, it is not an authentic manual but it is a very good copy of an original manual. The same information is in there. In my particular version the wiring diagram is in colour, but the rest of the manual is black and white. You should be able to find these "copies" at a lower price than that.

+1 mine is a knock off as well but it is very good and works for my purposes. I can't honestly say what I paid, but it is a hell of alot cheaper than buying one from triumph. If it is a scanned copy or not I dont know but it is very easy to read and clear, I don't know what more you would really need from a manual.

I'm still surprised you're discussing paying for pirated copies of the manual. If you're going to steal it, you might as well do it the way I suggested.

Someone on e-bay sells the manual on CD-ROM for about £5 UK. It's obviously a scan of the Triumph manual, but it's complete, and I've found with other bikes that printing off a single page as needed is a lot better in the long run than having a paper manual covered in dirty hand marks.

The coloured wiring diagram makes it a lot easier to follow.

As stated there is no need to buy the pirated CD when you can find the PDF online for free.

I guess I'm just too subtle.

I don't condone stealing but I condone paying someone else to do it for you even less.

I agree 110%. Though I'm in the camp that believes if you've bought the full version then you should have the right to convert or acquire other forms of the same version on other media formats. What I'm saying is if you buy the factory manual then I don't see anything wrong with downloading the PDF.
