moto15 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Anyone purchased this CD for an FJ09 (interested in one for a '17)? It is listed on Amazon??? Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ29ER Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I just picked this one up. Pretty good so far. It is like its own program. I messaged them for a link to download from drop box before the cd came in. Works really well and super easy to navigate. http://www.ebay.com/itm/172846494003?ul_noapp=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crempel Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Is it factory authorized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ29ER Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Is it factory authorized? Probably not, but it is like a program like mitchell or ondemand5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ29ER Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Is it factory authorized? Here is a screen shot. If you message them for a early copy of it. You get a drop box link and a serial #. The computer warns you it could be a malicious file but I downloaded on my work computer and it was fine and after a thorough scan at my home computer it worked nicely there as well. I recommend it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member knyte Posted January 14, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted January 14, 2021 I have this manual; but since it uses Adobe Flash...it may not work for long. Took a snapshot of the VM for the time being until I can either convert it to some other format, or buy a paper manual. Sigh; back to paper. Paper's batteries don't die, it doesn't track my actions, send me endless alerts or get hacked, doesn't expire or become outdated. I can still read it in the sunlight, and scan a page to enlarge it if I need to... 1 1 2015 FJ-09 / FJR touring bags / oil plug mod / Evotech rad guard / SW Motech bash plate / VStream touring windshield / Seat Concepts: Sport Touring / Vcyclenut ABS rings (speedo correction) / Cosmo RAM mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Honda car in 2019 and was surprised to see that my only option was a subscription-based online service. The manual is comprehensive and there is a lot of information on there, but it contains links and pop-ups, making it difficult to print an organize hard copies. There is a limit on number of pages you can print too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member knyte Posted January 14, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted January 14, 2021 I'm a bit reluctant to own anything after ~2012 for just that reason (well the complexities, too. A lot of tech where tech isn't necessary) - all the repair stuff is online-only. I've been doing just fine with MOD and owning older vehicles. 2015 FJ-09 / FJR touring bags / oil plug mod / Evotech rad guard / SW Motech bash plate / VStream touring windshield / Seat Concepts: Sport Touring / Vcyclenut ABS rings (speedo correction) / Cosmo RAM mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a non-trivial load for any printer, and it's *meaty*. In the US, you can buy a manual cheaper than I printed it from Yamapubs, but they won't sell to Canadians because reasons.

I did the same thing with my PDF manual, and put it all into a 3-ring binder. While the PDF is great for a read in advance of the project, the trusty old binder is always in the garage. I gave the tablet a go a few times,... didn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is yours also made up of scanned pictures of the pages? You can see the pixels and there are no links to go from the index straight to the page. It was made searchable using OCR but it's really not what I'm looking for in a digital manual. I might as well print it. I'm just doing my first job with it and I'm having a hard time navigating the weird structure. It looks to me like parts of books of previous models thrown together with new parts. I would sure be interested in a better manual but something using flash is nothing I want to invest in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member knyte Posted January 15, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted January 15, 2021 I just got the PDF version too, and yeah, it's lacking in similar ways, even though we have different versions. 2015 FJ-09 / FJR touring bags / oil plug mod / Evotech rad guard / SW Motech bash plate / VStream touring windshield / Seat Concepts: Sport Touring / Vcyclenut ABS rings (speedo correction) / Cosmo RAM mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tablet and I've got a PC in my shop. In both cases, I found it to be really impractical vs. just having the book on hand. I have a very large color printed poster of the wiring map on my garage door, too, and love it The binder is much better, particularly knowing I can reprint parts if/when I need to. I'll straight up pop out relevant sections if I need particular pages at hand during a project, and if they get all oily/gooky I just print new pages. And I laminated a couple important reference pages (specs, torque values, etc) so they're always at hand too. But... Oof. That's a *lot* of printing. Most home printers really require you take breaks or they'll overheat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
