If you want a workshop manual that's separate. The Haynes manual was originally for the curvies but has been lately updated to include the changes included in the recent bikes, check the manual it might be the right one.

From memory the Suzuki workshop manual is about £45-£50 or so, it's very good and highly detailed so possibly worth the extra over the Haynes, but being Suzuki's own does assume that you will have a full set of Suzuki tools, the Haynes is very useful, despite the criticisms some give it, and will suggest alternatives to factory tools if practical.
Sorry should have added:

I have the new Haynes for the K3+ so I'm not after that or the suzuki workshop manual. It would seem this is what I'm after:

Now given that this guy is sending me Haynes manuals, I'm guessing he doesn't have either the owners book or the service book. Can these items be repleced if lost or should I cut my loses, sell the curvy haynes and leave it there?
