Updated Spec Manual on iN
The Honda Spec Manual was recently updated to
include nearly all Honda powersports models
released to date (1959-2016). The Spec Manual is
available in two places on iN: in its customary
location under Service Publications,
iN > Service > Service Publications > Spec Manual
ment or specifications.
Unfortunately the Area code is rarely indicated on
the vehicle's Safety Certification Label (model
I.D.NIN label). The workaround for not knowing
the area code for the unit you're working on is to
use Web Parts Catalog and search by "Frame#/
VIN". Once the VIN is entered, the database
working in the background will return a result that
matches and displays the unit area code and corresponding equipment.
and integrated into the Web Parts Catalog,
iN > Parts > Web Parts Catalog > Web Parts Catalog.
From Web Parts Catalog, make sure that Area
is selected, then click on the red Model Info
button, then the click the gray Model Specs
button. The available service specifications will
displayed in the panel.
