There are some who claim the Haynes manuals are full of inaccuracies, etc. but for routine maintenance they are spot on - clear concise instructions on how to do things. Unless you're looking for a complete nut and bolt rebuild then Haynes would be fine. Mind you, I've done several nut and bolt rebuilds including full engines with only Haynes to guide me, and they haven't let me down yet, so... ;)

That's ok if you can live with shoddy image quality. I got one from David Silver, which is unfortunately a copy of the English VFR400RLM manual, but is still better than the ones you can d/l form the interwebs. I'd like to get an original. IMO Honda service manuals are very good. The Haynes is, meh, ok. I wish someone would translate the NC35 manual. :(

Best bet is to keep an eye on ebay or put a wanted in the classifieds here perhaps. It might be a bit difficult to get hold of an original.
