where are you getting that the honda manual is $104?

here you go, the honda is $40. it has the same publication number for the 2005-06 as what is listed in my owners manual for the 2000 400ex.

You can also get a .pdf version of the OEM off of E-bay for about $5. Not nearly as nice as a hardcopy, but a good value.

i like the pdf version better, you can just print out the pages you need then toss them. you don't have to worry about getting grease/dirt/oil, etc. all over your $40 book

got my CD off ebay with other bikes on it for $4.00 shipped. Then printed and binded. Looks great. Just wish my copy had the 05 stuff on reverse and the schematics.

I bought a Honda manual new for $40 through servicehonda. Very informative, told me everything I needed to know when installing the stroker in my quad.
