ST3 manuals?
Are there still shop type manuals available? I see you guys talk about LT's manual, but I'm still new to this bike and here to know what that means. Do they make a Hayne's or Clymer's manual for the ST series? Thanks guys.

LT's manual is a comprehensive maintenance manual that covers the ST series. Actually there are two of them, one for the Two valve based bikes (which your ST3 is derived from) and one for the Four valve bikes (ST4 & ST4S)
Its a much cheaper alternative to the factory manual. Buy it and you won't regret the money spent.
edit: Sorry I should have mentioned LT's manual can be found here www.desmotimes.com

I have LT's book for the 2004 ST3, and it's very good. But you still need the factory manual. I got a pdf of the factory manual from duc.nu>> ducati workshop-, electronic-, spare parts catalogs, owners- & user manuals.

Here's an early Christmas present for those who have an '06 ST3. Dan, I'm sure most of this information applies to your '04 too.

Thanks, guys. I don't ride an ST3, but I like to keep random Ducati manuals to share with others as need arises.
Gathering shop manuals has become something of a disease with me. Fun!
