1982 dr500 workshop manual?

**dino3310** · 26th April 2008, 21:44

anyone got any idea's on where i can find a workshop repair manual, either on disc or book, i've downloaded one but it's not the best quality.
i've tried many a site but it's a hard model to find the book for.
maybe some one out there's got one tucked under a pile of mags some where.
if you know of one give me a holla.
cheers,
Dean.

should be able to get a haynes workshop manual from a good book store, try the 2nd hand book stores if you can. You will pay a good price for it new, I had 13 bikes and 13 manual, some of the manuals I still actually own.

I used to have one of those (yellow- yuck)

Will be good to have a DR with a warrant huh?

(the 650 is getting some work this weekend)

What's wrong with your forks? I have a set for sale on TM - they are pitted a bit but were working OK. No one seems to want them - cheap - for half whatever I listed them at. The seals are out so would need new ones. Will take a closer look at them later.

And watch your costs - I can't seem to stop spending money on mine.

rusty forks and heaps of pitting, the rust is tooo deep.
as for the money, i got a part time job thats worth $50 a fortnight for the bike so its gonna take a while, but i've wanted to do one up for donkeys years, so i'm not to worried how much she's gonna cost as long as i can ride her while i tidy her up. would love to get her back to original.
keeping track of the dollars so far, it dosen't take long to add up.
