Clymer vs Seloc Shop Manuals

I'm looking to buy a shop manual for my 1990 yamaha 50ESD-JD, wondering what you guys prefer.

Thanks

Well... Cylmer is terrible, Seloc is aweful, does that help?

Honestly there is no substitution for an actual factory service manual. They are a few bucks more than the aftermaket, but worth every penny.

Here's one source for a factory service manual. I pulled up your motor. I believe it was $79.

If you are on the forum long enough you will see post after post saying that the Seloc either did not explain or confused the poster. Clymers is a bit better but if you are serious, there is no substitute for the factory manual.

Whatever you get, get the paper hardcopy. I have heard numerous complaints about disc versions.

OEM manual is the way to go. Clymer manuals have one use but they are not as absorbant as a real toilet roll.
