Best Servive manual?

Post by oroepke »

I am new to my CBX as of this week and need to tackle all the usual, valve, carbs (already ordered the book from M. Nixon), cam chain tensioner, etc. and whatever else there might be. What is a good service manual?
I have seen the Honda Service Manual (reddish cover) Honda Shop Manual (blueish cover), anything else? Thanks!

Wise decision to get the carb book from Mike Nixon, i would also recommend the valve adjustment manual he offers.
