Bought my bike used from a dealer and there's no manual under the seat, and the dealer wouldn't bother looking around if was somewhere at the dealership.
Are there any scans available of a 2013 owner's manual?
I see nothing on a google search.
I asked today at the Honda dealer I went to for other supplies, and they had nothing listed. "Maybe in another year" is what the parts counter guy said. Jeez, in a year I hope I won't NEED the manual.

Ferret,
I tried that same site for the 2014 manual, but only the 2010 manual was listed.
Do you have a link for the 2014 manuals?
Thanks in advance!

I havent seen anything for 2014s yet, but there isnt much different. Rear axle torque, and size of wrenches to adjust it. Oil capacity, drain plug torque, tire pressures would all be the same.
Anything in particular you need info on?

Thanks. I saw that site but I hesitated when they wanted me to register first to even read anything. I'll check it. 2010 might be close enough for 2011, basic info at least.

No particular emergency at the moment. I just like to keep the hardcopy under the seat for road emergencies and an e-copy on my computer at home and at work for reference purposes.
Thanks

Have you tried Helm Inc, they have the shop manuals and might be able to help you.

OK the only thing I've found online so far is the Austrailian manual with a print date of 2010.
It s at- hondampe.com.au/docs
I tried Helm and they only seem to have the service manual.

ClassicVW you shouldn't have to register to download the PDF of the 2010 manual. There is very little difference between 2010, 2011 and 2013 models, although I've seen a couple of features mentioned here, like the ability to switch between miles and kilometres on the odometer and the lack of the HISS in the US.
PM me if you have any trouble downloading it and I'll figure a way to put it somewhere you can get it.

Thanks Cormanus. All of a sudden it appeared downloaded on my desktop after I previously was unable tro get it to view or download. I'm checking it out now, and knowing the small differences in the models, it still seems good enough for referencing.
Cormanus, or anyone that has the manual, on page 61, titled "CLIP" it shows a black clip with center pin.
The previous page and the next page seems to have nothing to do with this clip.
I ask this question because this is the exact clip I noticed under my bike after I completed the 600 mile service and also installed Battery Tender pigtails onto my battery terminals. I have no idea where this came from or how it showed up on my floor. Could it be something I dislodged from the battery area? It was tight lifting the battery out.
