Honda wants to charge me $50 for a maintenance manual! I guess they have some deal where they own the rights to the manual for a few years. Are there any major differences between my 03 300ex and a 300ex from a few years ago?

I'm not positive on the 300 but I bet the only changes have been cosmetic. I'm sure the most recent manual will get you through the majority if not all the general repairs.

So, how dirty are you:devil: :p

Joe Joe Joe hehehe j/p wit ya

Anyway back to the subject NO I don't believe there are any differences, try this website out, www.sweetquads.com to see if they have a manual you can download for the 300. Good luck & yeah they want a friggin mint for those manuals don't they :confused:

DirtyGirl it should work fine, I believe the only differences are cosmetic.

From 93' on service manuals will work for the 300ex, and if you are familiar with the engines and just need a littel help or a general idea the 250x manual could work in a pinch.

they are the exact same from the early 300ex to the 03's. the only thing is that the new ones have a clear snorkle tube i believe

Yes we used a 250x one on my 96 300 but you want to double check the torque specs between the 2 though cuz sometimes they are a little off!! But ohter than that they are about the same!! :)
