    depends on how bad you want it. I believe i paid about 35 dollars for mine off ebay.

    I also found a users manual and a dealer assembly manual as well for cheap.

    I GLOMMED mine (eBay) for $15; going price is usually around $40-$50, Chacal has them for around $70 I believe. There's a lot of cool stuff "buried" on eBay in stores rather than auctions, and because of the way it's listed, they don't show in our usual searches. That's how I found my factory manual. Guy didn't know what he had.

    When you figure that an hours worth of Labor would be in the Vacinity of 80-Bucks ... and a Genuine Factory Manual -- specific to your Bike, goes for about $79.00, or so.

    The first time you use the Manual ... it pays for itself!

    Having the Factory Book for your Bike is the way to go, Schooter!
    It breaks-down Maintenance and Repairs to step-by-step procedures.

    There's complete Troubleshooting flow-charts.
    Schematic Drawings of every Part and assembly.
    Sections dealing with Electrical, Carbs and Tuning.

    Buy a Factory Book and be in the know.
