From this point, the 2006-2013 Vulcan service manual goes into Troubleshooting. Again, taking the newcomer into account, it begins with something as basic as starting the engine. If you believe you already know your hog and can skip this, don’t. The chapter contains vital information on everything from engine lubrication to noises and clutch to gearshift leakage.

The Motor Bookstore rates this book 5 out 5 stars. The great thing about this Clymer manual is that it focuses on a single motorcycle make and model with only minor model variants.
