Hey I think that here in oz the service manual has pretty basic info like capacities (oil, fuel, tyre pressures ect) and general warnings.
A shop manual (which I would love and read and pretend I understood) has the whole kit and dice. You know with the the different parts and diagrams of them pulled down with their part numbers ect.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys it's highly likely...lmao

Most use the 2 terms to mean the same thing

Sounds more like the difference between the owners manual and the shop (service) manual. But (we) North Americans talk funny.

I'm the one who bought this manual on ebay. The Service Manual has around 526 pages in it and covers just about everything. It has detailed information (with pics) to do most repairs and maintence on the Fury. It also includes electrical wiring diagrams. It is NOT the same as an Owners Manual. Cheers
