Check ebay. I thought I saw one there yesterday.

 

I have glanced through a genuine Ducati hard copy of the manual - looks pretty good to me. I can ask if it is for sale. It is in Sydney, but my friend is away at the moment. Scanning would not be an option as it is very big.

 

Thanks Bruce I'll have a look.

Richard that would be great- they're something like $145 US!

 

Hey Kiwi, I am an ex Aucklander in the states and bought my SportClassic manual from these guys... downloaded in a few minutes.... try them..
duc.nu>> ducati workshop-, electronic-, spare parts catalogs, owners- & user manuals

 

Beauty, Thanks mate- I'll have a look.

 

See this guy: TECNICA DUCATI SS 620 750 800 888 900 1000 S SPORT SP5 - eBay (item 300510410839 end time Jan-11-11 13:13:37 PST)

Costs 7 Euro (about NZ$14) you click Buy Now, tell him the model and year of your bike and he sends you a download link.
This is the full factory manual. I printed mine out and burnt a copy to disc.

It's actually quite a good manual too, clear instructions and colour photos.

 

cs363 seems to have another good option as well.

 

It's the only option in this case....the site you posted only has a parts catalog for the 1000SS.
It's a great site for downloads (have used it before) just not for the elusive 1000SS shop manual

 

Yeah I found a site doing the 800ss for 3.50 euro, which I downloaded for the basic info, and its pretty well laid out. Strangely they were also charging for the parts list, which you can get off the ducati web site free!

cs363- thanks for that went on and bought it- just waiting for the e-mail with download link.
If its like the 800 one it will be just the ticket with clearances,torque settings etc.

 

cs- got it- brilliant just what Iwas after. Thanks for the tip!

 

No worries - happy tinkering!
