Default Cyclepedia tutorial guides

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had the opportunity to review the guides cyclepedia.com has on our bikes, and if it's worth it. Big color pictures in a tutorial are really valuable for me, and I know I don't feel comfortable doing the dynojet kit mod with just the service manual in front of me. They don't have the 2009 klx250s model, but it does cover the following:

1993-1996 Kawasaki KLX250D (Offroad)
1999-2007 Kawasaki KLX250S D-Tracker (Street)
1997-2007 Kawasaki KLX300 (Offroad)

I could still use this guide for my 09 right?d

http://www.cyclepedia.com/kawasaki-k...service-guide/

It's $20 for a 1 year subscription...not sure how that works...

The cyclepedia manual? I've found the service manual but that was 97 models. i dunno, it's $20, to me it's worth it.

Me neither, but this service has been very good so far. Anytime I email them with a question, they get back to me within 24 hours, sometimes 12. Their manual is just an html file/webpage. You can download it locally to your machine, print it out, do whatever. No DRM there.

I'd highly recommend these guys for first time bike buyers. I got the 3 year support plan. Obviously I have downloaded it to my machine, and to be able to ask a question and get an answer is great. And no, the forums can't be depended on to that extent.

I'll be honest, that HMF carb removal tutorial is a POS compared to what this manual offers. I have no idea why everyone says that tutorial is any good. It's not clear at all and makes a lot of assumptions.

I'll probably utilize both when I take the carb out though. Cyclepedia for the clear instructions/photos, and HMF for the editorial stuff they added.
