Default Why Doesn't GasGas Have Online Factory Service Manual Like this?

Whay doesn't GasGas have an online Factory Service-Shop Manual and site like these? The shop manual below is 351 pages with labeled digital photos!

Has anyone seen a current GasGas factory shop manual like these Husqvarna manuals? I'm curious because the factory and or the bigger dealers must have one, right???

Guys, are there any published torque values for the fasteners used on the engine and frame? I'm an old, experienced wrench, but there are torque/tightening differences that I would like to be aware of.

Thanks, Gordon

I'm not complaining. I just wish that Rod could chime in on this issue. Gasgas is spending money on advertising in national magazines so they seem to serious. They have a factory, they have employees that build motorcycles in that factory. What do these employees reference to build their bikes? A ktm manual? Look, if we can get a GasGas Factory online manual in Spanish, I speak Spanish so I would happy to translate it.

I saw the excellent Husky online manual and I wondered, "What a great time saving resource." I am not expecting Gasgas to expend funds to produce printed manuals. If Gasgas wants to build a strong dealership network, won't the technicians at these dealerships need a Factory service manual?

Rod, the ball is in your court, what do you say?

The man has a point, GGNA is trying to make the brand more accessible. This is a huge part.
