In Oz it a legal requirement that the manufacturer/ vendor provide service and repair data and parts so you have freedom of choice and theoretically competition at service and repair time.
But most everyone just ignores it, and no one has ever been prosecuted for failing to do so.
At one time the only BMW dealer for 500 miles wouldn't even sell you a oil filter for a airhead, and they never provided anyone with their ECU code until long after the guy in South Africa developed his 911 code reader.
Some things might be better this way, software upgrades, safety recalls, perhaps even service records, but the fact that most second hand post 2000 BMWs are only worth their parts value to a wrecker suggests they are not.
And RE should be careful they don't end up going the same way!

I found a dropbox link to the Interceptor 650 service manual in this thread from 2021: https://www.royalenfieldowners.com/index.php?threads/workshop-manual.1693/

Brace yourself, it's 834MB, but very high quality.

I think I'm going to look into lowering the file size of that manual. Even on a well equipped computer that huge file is a slow pig.

Edit: I just opened this file in Adobe Acrobat and it was so much easier and faster than it is in windows 7,10 or 11. I'd try to compress the PDF but I'm just not going to subscribe to Acrobat Pro to do it sorry. Maybe someone else will?

why not just upload it on a cloud service and call it a day.

Then anyone can open it with whatever thy like, Acrobat, Windows, Linux, a 14mm torque wrench whatever.
