Detailed RT Limited Shop Manual?????

[diesel-dawg]

Does anyone know of any detailed shop manuals, such as a Clymer, for the 2013 RT Limited?

This is NOT a scan, this manual is from the original digital source.
This manual contains over 1350 pages of extra content that the $180.00 book never did including:

• The full BRP 817 page repair and maintenance manual. The same one your local dealer uses, just in electronic form.
• Exploded views, part numbers & MSRP pricing of EVERY PART! (2013 microfiche not in HD)
• 2013 Spyder accessory catalog
• 2013 Owner's manuals
• Links to BRP electrical diagnostic and troubleshooting videos (for all BRP products)
• 2013 Dealer only service bulletins (bulletins available at the time the manual was created are included)

I have purchased from these guys & was pleased with what they provided:

Of the two I've listed, the first one appears to be the manual for all 2013 models of the Spyder, while the second appears to be only the RT.

Dude, get off your wallet and buy a factory BRP manual. All of the information it contains and all the money and stress it will save you will pay for itself many times over.

Can you explain the main difference in a BRP manual and say a Green Manual, I believe thats what they are called and the one I currently have? Im curious as to what difference there is? I was assuming that they both had the same material? I was under the assumption that the Green Manuals looked like they had taken the BRP manual and scanned all the pages from it?

I would be interested in a BRP manual if it is worth it and wasnt rediculously priced. Where did you purchase your BRP manual from?

The electronic manuals don't have the electrical fold outs. At least my Green manual did not.
They are scans of a manual and the resolution is not as good as the original when printed.
Finally when your working on something it is SO MUCH NICER to have the hard copy in front of you rather than going through a giant PDF on a tablet or laptop.

I have 2 manuals. The first one I got was for the 09GS when I owned it. It was from Green Manual/Best Manuals/Midwest Manuals they are all the same manual and there are more names than I can remember. It was a scan and of course was not as good as the original document. The wiring diagram was almost useless. It was scanned in strips and was extremely difficult to follow a circuit. The second manual I got from the same folks for my 13ST and it covered all models for the 2013 year. It is excellent and is a digital copy, no scan. The wiring diagram is in a very high resolution because I can zoom it very close and there are no jaggies. If I was to tackle a large electrical project I am very sure I could get full size electrical diagram printed at a local print shop.

Hello, does BRP sell the factory manual online? How much is it? Thanks!

I've got the Green Manual for my 2014 RT Limited; it's more than good enough, for anything that I'd ever undertake. :thumbup:

I Would Personally...

I would rather have a paper manual in my hands than try to print out specific pages from an online manual. In the mid 1970's, I had a sideline business as a Volkswagon mechanic. (John?) Having an honest-to-God service manual helped me to make an honest living. Of course, in those days, that was all you could get. No online anything. Point is, there is a certain romance involved in having a grease stained, fingerprint covered shop manual than anything you could download online. Besides, the ink to print the entire thing would probably cost you at least twice what the real deal would cost. JIMHO
