This seems to be the stock answer on here. Personally i think the haynes manuals now are completely crap, they are ok for torque figures and tyre pressures but that's about all.

Yea ther are a few, but i have got to say from personal experiences that the best and most in-depth guides are usually german, dutch, french ETC ETC. You can try using 1 of the free online wbpage translators, but the translation is poor if im honest.....However some of the best guides i could recommend are right on here under the 'Guides' section, so scan through a few of them matey and youll be sorted in no time, theyve helped me so much ;)

i've already suggested to someone on this forum that they should buy a hillier bike/car engine manual.

buy it you won't be dissapointed.

Okay i got a LASER PRO ORIGINAL they fitted because original one blew.

I heard they can be de-restricted by " a reduction washer in the manifold that can easily be removed." Where is this? where do i find this?

Youve basically hit the nail on the head mate, all you do is remove the washer your talking about, that will be found in the exhaust mainfold ;)
