The owners manual in case you are interested

[Therapy]

OK. The Helm manual came. It appears real.
Also, the Honda dealer parts person told me that Helm is a printer that prints multiple manuals for multiple vehicles worldwide. He looked up to see if he could order it for me and said it had not been released yet. This is the second dealer that said the same thing to me. He said when he could get it it would be 80-90 USD. I consider myself lucky to be able to have it.

Except for cover and electric I just flipped randomly for the pics.


P.S. I was at the dealer to pay for the bike as it came in a few days EARLIER than expected. I plan to pick it up today!

I sure hope you didn't pay "80-90 dollars". I ordered mine from Helm and it was $27...

Have a look at the punch holes to confirm whether yours is an original or a Helm copy …

Ok so I compared your pages to my $30 <photocopied> version I got at https://www.service-shop-repair-manual.com/
Everything seems the same, same page numbers, same diagrams.
EXCEPT I am completely missing the fold out color overall wiring diagram. (it's not in black and white either, it's just missing.)

I emailed the company but I expect this was on purpose and why it is so much cheaper.

That said can anyone take a high res pic that is zoomable of the color wiring diagram? Break it up into a couple if you have to. That would really be appreciated!

I used the helm site referenced earlier in this thread and I paid over 70. That is what the site listed.

Subtotal:	$50.00
Handling:	$6.50
Shipping:	$17.40
Tax:	$0.00
Order Total:	$73.90

You could make a bundle selling your 27$ manuals. How much to ship it?

I'm working with the guy at "service-shop-repair-manual.com " He seems surprised the Helm manual had the color foldout out wiring diagram as is investigating his source.. He is asking if there is a page number on the foldout, I can't tell from your picture.

edit: "I complained to the guy at service shop manual"

Thanks

Matt. It does not have a page number. My NC700X/XD manual has a page number on the electrical diagram.
Dunno. Both have "All Rights Reserved. PRINTED IN U.S.A.". and a MSV number. CT is 17597.

Both have "All Rights Reserved. PRINTED IN U.S.A.".
The guy pirating shop manuals probably doesn’t want to know that part…

Thanks, oh and btw I had no idea when I ordered my manual that is was going to be a copy.

Where we supposed to get this with our motorcycle? The dealer never gave me one and is trying to find out if it’s a thing or not.

Helm manuals are the OEM manual.

Since I got my manual, guys on other forums have been hitting me up for information. I should charge. A buck an answer.

Better ad a disclaimer. Where was it printed?

 

[RayWebb1]

Here is the 2022 manual. I hope to get the 2023 shortly (to go with my JA65E) and will post that when I do.

Thanks, added it to: https://hondatrail125.com/index.php?threads/pdf-manual-downloads-service-owners-parts-catalog.1189/

I went through it with a diff tool, the only notable difference between the 2021 and 2022 owner's manual other than minor changes to wording, page layout, year, additional labels to diagrams, and page numbering is that the 2022 one has added "An optional larger tool kit may be available. Check with your Honda dealer's parts department" and that they clarified "Towing your vehicle with a wheel or wheels on the ground can cause serious damage to the transmission."

Is the 2021-2022 service manual applicable to the 2023 model?

 

[dmonkey]

It would depend on what you're referencing in it. The engine is different, so those parts would differ for the 2023 model.

Geez shipping is steep, and this is standard shipping. Maybe I'm too used to Amazon Prime 2 day free shipping. On with the search for pdf version.

 

[dmonkey]

Yep, that's been a common complaint for those buying the manual. The standard shipping price is obscene. Would be great if they utilized USPS media mail since it's books. Must be nice to be them and have the monopoly on the service manuals until Haynes or other 3rd party ones come out years later.
