trialsnewby Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I was looking for a manual recently for my new bike. Its getting VERY hard to find the older ones. Is there a manual archive on this site some where? I looked, but I may have just missed it or something. If there isn't one, would anybody be interested in one? Im sure with all the people on here, there must be hundreds in PDF format on different members computers of different types of bikes!! Any thoughts on the subject??

Is there a manual archive on this site some where? I looked, but I may have just missed it or something. No, if someone has a manual that someone needs it's spread around from there If there isn't one, would anybody be interested in one? Im sure with all the people on here, there must be hundreds in PDF format on different members computers of different types of bikes!! Any thoughts on the subject?? that would be up to the boss man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshdave Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Unfortunately the files would be pretty large, which means more bandwidth, which means more cost. And then there are copyright issues. This may or may not be a problem, but I'd think that any host would want to try to avoid problems.

Rather than the manuals themselves, maybe a list of sites that have manuals, for instance TrialsPartsUSA and the German GasGas Deutschland site has a bunch of GG parts and owner manuals going way back to 1989. I'm sure most of us have found sites for the various brands and we could pool our knowledge. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big john Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Great idea, I was waiting patiently for a 2008 Beta Rev4T manual then discovered they were available on-line but not (at that time) on the Beta UK website but the main Beta Italy one. A list of links would be an excellent idea! Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantic303 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 no need to start a new website ! look at : http://www.manualz.info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jse Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 no need to start a new website ! look at : http://www.manualz.info That's a pretty good site, I hadn't seen it before. Maybe we could supplement it with sites that carry unusual or older models that are not included there. Say a link and a short description of what it contains?

nzralphy Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'd be in and help if it was set up. Does anyone have a Beta Rev4T workshop manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytigrrr Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm after a manual for 98 techno, anybody have one? i have checked the above site and can only find one for the 99 techno. Cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabie Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 i've the 99 Beta Techno 250 manual off the net and the one that came with the paperwork when i brought the bike (they aren't the same, but about the same bike - i think - long time since i looked). my cousin is after a manual for a 95 Beta Techno 125. so i can really apreciate the usefulness of such a site, the http://www.manualz.info or just a page/thread linking to other sites (the legal cop out all those bit torrent severs use, with a "take down" email address too).

I have a 2007 & 2008 Beta Rev4T manual on pdf, but it's 4.32MB. I downloaded it from the Beta website, so try it first, however it doesn't seem to be working at the moment when I tried it tonight. Happy to try sending it to you by e-mail if you have broadband! PM me! Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
