How much change was there from 2009 to 2011? I have a manual for the '09. New woman rider has an '11 and wants to learn to work on bike herself. If I give her the manual will she be learning incorrect info for her 2011?
Most likely there will be subtle changes but the major things will most likely be same. I find it to be good practice to always use the correct manual no matter what. Get the one for her bike.
