VAT on Honda Workshop manual

[Trumpet 216]

Be careful to check whether your Dealer or website Charges VAT on the Honda workshop manual for the NC. Fowlers website automatically charged over seven quid extra when I placed an order.  When I challenged them, they admitted it should not attract VAT and corrected their web system, and of course refunded me. I then checked Lings, and they are also adding VAT to the manual cost on Web orders. seems a lottery whether dealers/websites charge VAT or not.

Interesting, didn't realise when I bought mine from the auction with no name. But it was a Honda dealer selling them on that site so maybe I paid over the odds.

On the up side first home service will pay for the book four times over. 👍

Been trying to a find a manual but can't event find one on fleabay...

The manual part number is 61MGS03 (61MKA01 for 2016 models) and contains a supplement for the NC750X.

Helminc sell this manual for $81.95 but then there will be a host of customs charges and of course VAT to pay.

If you do an internet search for the above number you will get several results.

Asking a dealer is also an option.

I have just found the very useful Honda Common Service manual (search for 61CSM00) as well. Full of useful tips on general workshop practice.

Keep in mind that a service manual will pay for itself several times over.

Thanks - I did try a search on Foulups website but nothing came up. Think I'll order one soon; bikes out of warrantee so I'll be back doing the maintenance and servicing myself.

Found it - out of stock. On backorder. Typical.

[Trumpet 216]

Fear not, mine arrived in a couple of Days after I ordered it from Fowlers. Fowlers order direct from Honda, next day delivery, then ship it out.
