The plot thickens...
Okay .... So there was a misunderstanding and what I thought was a shop manual for my just-purchased 2012 Thunderbird was nothing more than a service records booklet. I guess that explains why it was being given away for free.
Many thanks to the 3 members who offered and if I ever see any of you, a drink is on me
.
To pay it forward, if anyone needs something picked up in the GTA, just ask.
Thanks all!

I've seen a 2009 shop manual online if you need it urgently.Okay .... So there was a misunderstanding and what I thought was a shop manual for my just-purchased 2012 Thunderbird was nothing more than a service records booklet. I guess that explains why it was being given away for free.

I'll PM you Baggsy and thanks ifiddles but I've already downloaded it for free from the Facebook group ... this Ottawa paper manual was free and I always prefer a book in front of me instead of a laptop or having to print pages off so I jumped at the opportunity.
I won't pay a crazy amount for it but I'll see what Baggsy has found ...

I ordered one from Envy Rides when I got my bike. When I went to pick it up, they couldn't find it.Just when this thread was getting really interesting, the suspense and all, and it was over a free record book...
I only have a PDF of the service manual for my bike. I repurposed a old laptop to the garage, which I can view it on, and stream some music to if needed.
Two weeks later, they were boarded up. Try to make sure you're dealing with reputable people.
One of the reasons I went there, was the horrible reputation of SON on this site at the time.

It isn't about the seller doesnt want to put in extra effort. As a seller on kijiji you should NEVER ship anything. There is no seller protection at all unlike other paid service (ebay, etc). So whatever payment you received (cheque/cc/paypal/etransfer) can get cancelled long after you shipped the item and kijiji will not offer any compensation (rightly so). The bank doesn't have to explain to you or even notify you about it.
Even says so right on kijiji. That is the #1 scam on kijiji.

I tried using a tablet to read a PDF of the service manual for my older bike, but it just didn't work with greasy fingers, needing to quickly flip back and forth, as well as wanting to make notes in the margins. I ended up paying to have it printed and bound at Staples (no copyright, of course!), cost about $65 with comb binding and a clear cover. Considering original copies are selling for $175, it was a relative bargain. Also has an advantage over original in that it lays flat no matter what page I'm on...
Funnily enough, I recently found a complete aftermarket exhaust system for my new Tracer for free on Kijiji. It was in Kelowna but I etransfered him the shipping costs last Tuesday and I received it today.
Putting it on tomorrow.

I thought about it for the seat I picked up, but 10 hours with off and on rain, on a straight highway didn't sound like fun.Wouldn’t have it any other way
I started riding late this season, and I'd just done a trip to Toronto and back a few days before. Maybe later in the season I'd go.
If only you knew how much I've already spent on pipes, a sissy bar, a Gearingo gear indicator, wiring to charge the phone, etc ... then again, the HD would've gotten a set of pipes and likely a stage 2 kit anyways but isn't that how it always goes with a new toy.
Just sold the huge windscreen to someone in Idaho yesterday so recovering some of it back.
I'm curious about this. When you say email do you mean Interac? How can an Interac transfer be cancelled by a bank?
It doesn’t get cancelled but it can be a ‘fake deposit’. The bank will catch it a few days later and reverse the deposit. Another popular scam.
