I do not know of any 'aftermarket' (chiltons, Hayes etc) manuals for Can Ams.

I expect there were some factory service manuals out there (like what the dealer's service departments used) but I have never seen one.

The owner's manuals had some basic service info that is pretty helpful, but does not cover major work like engine rebuilds.

All I can suggest is to look on-line to see if one comes up for sale.

Service manuals for other makes of older, air-cooled 2-stroke dirtbikes will help, in terms of basic theory for repairing such bikes.
Can Am engines, transmissions, brakes etc etc were very similar in basic design and layout to all the big-bore air-cooled 2-stroke Japanese bikes.
