My problem is, I bought the bike cheap from a friend of mine who had disassembled the top of the engine, then stopped. I'd rather put it back together and ride it than part it out, but I have no point of reference. I've tried Craigslist, Ebay, Reddit, Google, and local dealerships (who told me to try the internet haha); I found what looks like a reproduction for $63 from New Zealand...which is nearly what I paid for the bike LOL. Before I shell that out as a last resort, does anyone happen to have a link to a .pdf of it? I figured that if anyone would, it would be someone here

Those are the guys selling the reproduced $63 manual. $35 for the manual and $28 for shipping. A bit pricey.

Apparently the seller didn't bother to read the list of models shown on the back cover, but he did provide a picture of the list (see below). Ed
