I prefer the manufacturer's workshop manuals. Got them for the SV and my Vectra. IMHO better than Haynes, but had no experience of the Clymers but they seem expensive.

I prefer Haynes as I have found Clymer too obsessed with obvious health and safety issues often to the extent of sounding patronizing (at least with the BMW R100RS manuel).

I have both. Clymer is more in depth and more photo examples to work off. Good to cross reference both if you are confused about something

Haynes for the SV was more than I ever needed.
Haynes dont do a drz book, but clymer do - its basically the same as the manfuacturer one though.
