Thanks!

Well..... It's not THAT sketchy. I just downloaded a copy and they seem to have removed all the Honda logo's to avoid a lawsuit. LMK if you want a Google Drive link.

FYI: It looks like the content sold by Flamingo is the same as the Chilton Library pages I get from my local public library online.

So it's legit? That is surprisingly cheap.

I downloaded it, an it looks okay.

Click on the three horizontal lines on the left above the manual, and you will get a table of contents.

I've "printed" several PDF versions of the pages and saved them for future reference. I first did this in 2019 and again a few days ago. There was some improvement in the 2025 Chilton's vs the 2019.

Naturally, Chilton's is copyrighted, so passing the pages around is technically illegal.
i've got to try that, this spring i'd like to do some maintenance on the engine and suspension. needs shocks and could use a valve adjustment. could probably make do without a manual , but with a book
is always better

You'll need the link and current password, if it's the site I'm thinking of.

Seems a bit dodgy, and I was wondering if anyone has come across a half decent workshop manual.
Installing dodgy software is the name of the game. It can be very difficult to install the software you want.

Get the link and the password for the Chilton's manual at a library. Someone on this forum is sure to have it. I wish my library had it.

Includes 3D models of the vehicle, torque specs, etc. Way more detailed than a Haynes manual.

I've contemplated downloading everything and compiling it as a PDF, but it would likely take a really long time. I've tried to think of ways to automate it, but I haven't been successful. I typically just download a document based on the repair I need to do... Maybe I should try to download all pages and compile it as a PDF for the good of the forum and for the longevity of these vehicles.
looks thorough enough for what i'll need, well good enough for torque settings at least. be careful, there are some errors, but this will do.

And not even that much hearsay. Mostly fumbling and beer.

A factory service manual is required for any halfway serious driveway mechanic.
