Good day all,
Does anyone have any information as to which repair manual is best for a 2002 Yamaha V Star 1100? Clymer or Haynes?

Thanks

In my experience, Clymer is a better format in general. The books feel higher in quality, and they provide electrical schematics. I'd always opt for Clymer over Haynes. That being said, I've owned Haynes manuals for a number of vehicles and find them quite useful as well.

I have found the Haynes manuals to be a disappointment in most cases. They go too far in depth in some things that are not very important or needed. Then on an item of great importance where pictures would be of help there are no pictures. And the information is so vague you have to guess at what they were trying to say.
