I have both, for a few models, and I can honestly say sometimes on unfamilar models I use both, the factory has better ilistrations , but the clymer has better tricks and how to do's

Ok, So for useing it to put the ATV back together you think the factory one is better to get and recommend picking up the Clymer version at a later time?

but the clymers does give some good tips and tricks to make your life easier,

I would say it depends on you and what you have for tools

Its the same engine, they didnt change a thing except reverse and still its the same thing.

Like I said in your other thread, its pretty straight forward anyways. If you have some mechanical ability you will be fine.
