2002 F12X Owner Manual - Where to get one?

[Gator88]

I just bought an '02 F12X and the thing is sweet. However. it did not come with a manual and so I am looking at it like WTF? when it comes to gauges, settings, etc. The craft performs wonderfully, I just want to learn about the details of it, how to set the gauges, etc. You know, all the little tidbits..

From Helm Industries, I see this:

2002 Arx 1200 T3/N3 Owner Manual
Price: $20.00 Print to Order
(English, Paper, 31HW1601)

Is this the only way to get a manual? Any online versions? $20 a good price? Is this the right manual, it is the only one under Honda Watercraft for 2002 so I assume it covers the F12X, even though it shows T3/N3???

I'd sujest to just go for the full Service Manual on CD. This comes with a copy of the Owner's manual as well. It's all in PDF format, so anything can view / print pages or the whole manual from it if you'd like.

yes the 2002 F12x and F12 are in the same Service manual. mine says 61HW100

most likely because the F series is the HW1 and the R is the HW3.

I got both the CD and manual .. the wiring Schematic is not in the manual.. but the manual is faster to read.

I think i paid $100 in 2002 for it...

you may be talking about the owners manual 31HW1600 for $20 it was the original one then I guess the 31HW1601 was the second one I got in 02 because of the maintenance joint recall (throttle lube deal)

I bought my electronic copy of the owners and service manual on Ebay for ~ $10. It's not a copy of illegal version, it's official.
