Condition Fore-edge is clean. For context: on individually-owned copies of this manual, the fore-edge is typically smeared black. Not here. The dealership handled their references differently, and it shows across the entire collection. Back cover has two faint spots at the top edge. Front cover shows light shelf wear. Interior pages are clean throughout. What you see is what you get.

From the library of a Japanese motorcycle dealership in Iowa. These manuals were working shop references.

Polybagged before packaging. What you see is what you get.
