[Ducati] 900SS service manual: Ducati or Haynes?

[john b]

Just a caution...the belt tension recommended in the old haynes manual  was way too tight......but the book is more user friendly.

It seems to assume that since you're a factory trained service  technician you'll already know how to do routine things....like adjust  Desmodromic valves. The Haynes is quite complete and has lots of good  pictures. 

The factory manual is a good reference, but I'd buy the Haynes first.

My 2 cents,

I want to buy a service manual for my 900ss, but don't know which is a
better manual.  Haynes is certainly cheaper, but which is more detailed,
easy to follow, most complete, etc?  I would appreciate the benefits of your
combined experiences!  Thanks!
