I am wondering where I can get a ski-doo shop manual, and can i get one that covers 2001's?? *if so how much do they cost?

From your Doo dealer, 60-70 bucks and worth every cent.

What type of information is in the manual? *Do they have shop manuals for specific models?

yes very handy to have,lots of good information i have the 2001 race manual paid $45 cdn for it

will the 2001 race manual cover a 2001 mxz 600 standard??

yes it gives the specs on your machine,and also gets into jetting and clutching,etc etc,if you work on your own sled its worth the money
