I'm new to Monsters.  I read in the FAQ where the 09 and 10 1100 are the same generation.  I've found a few 2009 1100 maintenance manuals for sale...would the info be the same for my 2010?  Is there a 2010 manual available for sale some place?  I'm mostly looking for torque values and other minor maintenance procedures.

Thank you.

Thanks for the info!  The linked website didn't show a manual for an 09 or 10, but there were a lot of other manuals available.  Thanks again.

It's NOT uncommon for European vehicle manufacturers to only print ONE manual when a vehicle is introduced and then sometimes add supplements to it later when changes are made.

HOWEVER, it's NOT uncommon for many of those changes NOT to make it into print.

As a result you always have to use some caution.

I know on our 2011 696 that some of the data in the Owner's Manual contradicts the data in the 2009 Service Manual (the only one I could find).

When things are different I defer to the newer source (Owner's Manual) or the safe spec (lower torque spec in the case of some items like axle nuts).

So just use caution, and if something doesn't make sense, question it by asking here.
