jmwildi Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 This didn't seem to fit in any other section so here it is. I just got a shop manual from a seller on amazon. All of the pages that I need are stuck together and look like they've been that way for a while. Any ideas on how I can get the pages unstuck with out destroying them? I'm already looking for another copy of this shop manual but so far the one I have is the only one I've been able to find. Oh and I'm not sure what got the pages stuck together but I'm guessing water because some of them have come apart but there's also no staining or discoloration to the pages.

ReconRat Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 The only way I know is to use steam from a tea kettle. When it's done, the pages might wrinkle up. But if you put a piece of waxed paper between each one, and set weight on top the book, it should flatten out fairly well. Without sticking again.Which shop manual? The Bonnie? Or that other thing you just picked up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmwildi Posted August 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 It's for the 81 suzuki gn400, the shop manuals are hard as hell to find and no one's bothered to do an aftermarket manual like haynes. Swing'R, I can't see anyone getting that excited over this bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 http://tinyurl.com/2up8f8zThis one has a pdf of the SP400, which he says has the same engine:http://www.gn400.caunostrekking.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35RFTW Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Steam should work depending on what has them stuck together. Heat gun might help as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmwildi Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) ^^^ Hehe true I suppose. By the way, sorry you and your wife couldn't make it to Hooters on friday, would've liked to meet you. Hope she's feeling better, hope the stiff drinks helped take the edge off a rough day and maybe I'll see you up there next friday.

jmwildi Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Thanks, I'll try the steam. Not a huge fan of pdf manuals because I don't have anywhere to print them but I'll check them out. Edited August 8, 2010 by jmwildi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Stuck pages? Sounds like someone really liked motorcycle repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
