Hello all , I want to buy a Haynes manual . I have a PX 150 from 2007 . I see the book is covering models from 1978 to 2003 .

Question : Have the PX models after 2003 been changed ? Will this book be convenient for my scooter ?

I am a bad mechanic , but I used a Haynes before for a Fiat 500 and it worked perfectly .

The latest Haynes manual is from 1978-2009.

You should be able to find it online.

It will be useful even if you have a later PX model.

I have not seen this latest edition but the old one is quite good. What may be lacking is updates on the electrical system and the hydraulic handbrake (although the cover has a disc model..). The sealing on the output shaft may also be different on yours

Hello

The haynes manual is useful but it is not always gospel.

You could buy it, instead of stealing it. It don't cost that much, and it's a good reference to have on hand anyway.

Sure it would only be the 3rd time I've bought it and really I only need 3 pages. I think I'll check it out at the library

Haha, wow. Where do you keep losing them?
I work at the local library here, and I recently put in a request for them to order a copy. Hopefully they'll get it in.

OK! Does anyone know if there is a Haynes manual (or other) that covers the PK models? I have made some searches on the internet, but can't find anything...
