I bought this bike on the cover from the man that refurbished it to create this Clymer manual, so the book is especially helpful, since the parts are primarily from my bike. The bike still runs like a champ even though I only perform basic maintainance and ride it sporatically, so the auther must have known what he was doing when working on it. Many of the BMW owners that I have talked to own this manual, and I have always heard good things about it from them as well.
BMW R-Series 1970-1994

A very informative workshop manual. A must if you are doing your own work. It's well illustrated and easily understood. The only improvement it needs is a better index. The index it has now is not comprehensive and ,therefore hard to find specific listings without actually having to go through the chapters themselves. It would be a 5 star with a separate index for each chapter.

Detailed pictures and big easy-to-read print

I use this book like a bible. Plenty of pictures, more so than the Haynes manual, and the larger print makes it much more easier to read. Also, the various tables at the beginning or end of various chapters, particularly the Maintenance chapter, make this book a very useful reference manual regarding maintenance intervals, check lists of things to do, part sizes, liquid amounts, etc. Easy to understand, particularly for the inexperienced.
