1. Open the online manual and expand a chapter from the table of contents. Click on a help topic.

2. At the top of the screen you will see a Cyclepedia toolbar. Locate the printer icon and Click on it. A printer dialog box should open. Please note that it is important to print topics using the Cyclepedia toolbar printer icon rather than trying to print from your web browser’s File > Print option.

3. Configure the printer options as you normally do. It is recommended that the page orientation setting be Portrait. Click the OK button to Print your pages. Your printer should print out nicely formatted pages.

* Please note that printing the entire Cyclepedia manual may result in over 400 pages for some models.

How long does it take to get access to one of your manuals after I pay?

Once you complete the payment process you should have immediate access. In some rare cases authorization can take up to 15 minutes. If you have any problems please contact us and we’ll straighten it out.

Are your manuals pirated copies or reproductions of the factory manuals?

Absolutely not! All of our manuals are either genuine publications produced by Cyclepedia Press LLC, content licensed to us or public domain works that meet pre-Berne Convention criteria. Frankly we don’t understand why anyone would pay for a pirated copy – do you really trust that pirate with your personal information?

I purchased one of your Cyclepedia online motorcycle manuals. How do I login to access it?

You can login or retrieve a lost password at: http://www.cyclepedia.com/amember/login.php

Do your manuals include wiring diagrams?

Yes. Nearly all of our manuals include highly detailed, full color wiring diagrams. Please read what is covered by each manual before you buy.

I have an old MAC computer. Will I be able to download PDFs from your site if I subscribe to one of your cyclepedia.com manuals?

You will be able to view our manuals from most PCs, MACs and other operating systems without the need to download any special software. Our manuals were designed to be read using the very same web browser you are viewing this page with. We do not use PDFs. The benefits of our system are that you can view our manuals using most web browsers, with an ease-of-use and speed unlike any other manual you have seen before. If you experience any trouble we will work with you to resolve the issue or provide you with a refund if we are unable to remedy the problem.

How can I be sure that one of your manuals will cover the procedures I need to perform?

The contents of every one of our manuals are provided on their respective product pages. For example, if you are interested in our Honda XR650L manual you would visit: http://www.cyclepedia.com/honda-xr600rxr650l-service-guide/

If you needed to adjust your Honda XR650L valves, you can be confident that the Valve Adjustment topic is included in our manual since it is listed in the table of contents. In most cases we can add or enhance a topic upon request. Our manuals are not static and we consider them to be living documents that are constantly changing. We encourage your suggestions on how to improve them. If you have additional concerns whether a topic is covered in sufficient detail please contact us at: http://www.cyclepedia.com/contact-us/

I want to see a sample of what one of your manuals looks like before I subscribe. Can I do this?

Thanks for the great service but unfortunately I had to sell my ATV and no longer need access to the manual. At the end of my subscription do I need to cancel the account so it doesn’t automatically renew?

Your subscription will not automatically renew. Once your subscription expires you will be sent a reminder to renew. If you do not renew it will become inactive and you will not be charged again. Some options you have with your existing subscription include transferring it to another manual or to another person. You can transfer your manual subscription to any other manual we have and use up your remaining time there. You can also sell/give your login to anyone else and your account will be made inactive. We will need their complete info so that we can create a new account for them so they do not have access to your personal information.

Are you authorized by or affiliated with any of the OEMs?
