It is speed and spirit–a sense of freedom–that motorcycles give us. But how free can we be if we have to depend on a mechanic for every little repair and adjustment to our machines?
This book puts the basics of motorcycle repair and upkeep within every owners grasp. With clear, easy-to-follow instructions and 50 do-it-yourself projects, How to Repair Your Motorcycle introduces readers to the rudiments of motorcycle maintenance.
Illustrated sections on each system (from electrical and fuel to suspension and exhaust) cover straightforward procedures that could add years to your motorcycles life–and save you thousands of dollars in the process.
The book also includes troubleshooting charts and helpful sidebars. From preventive maintenance to caring for a bikes appearance, this handy guide makes every owner with even a passing knowledge of motorcycle repair the master of his or her machine.
I bought the How to Repair Your Motorcycle (Motor Workshop) and it is Okay. This is mainly for motorbikes rather than scooters.
This is a good manual. I did not have any background in motorcyle mechanics and wanted to service and maintain my motorcyles. This is a good manual to do that. As a newbie, clear pictures, instructions, and topics on how to do various things that are normally needed on bikes for service/ maintanance made me a happy camper! Now I have a better idea what is going on in the engine and on the bike and I am not tricked so easily by the garages any more!
The book is very well written for the entry level motorcycle owner. Pictures are followed directly with descriptions and plenty to keep a DIY repair guy busy.
This is a great book to use in conjunction with your owner repair/service manual. This book gives you the confidence to attempt repairs you may not have undertaken. Its written in easy to understand language.
Too basic for me….great intro book for the novice motorcycle repair person which was clearly the intended audience. Recommend as a gift for someone who has just bought first bike.
I bought this book for a friend who loves it. She states it is simple with great pics and easy to use.
Next to the actual manufacturer’s repair manual this is the best How-to motorcycle repair manual I’ve owned ~ and I’ve spent a fortune buying most of them!!
Nice colored pictures and detailed explanations on how stuff works and how to do your basic mc maintenance.
The book is nicely laid out by related components/systems, explanations on what that specific system does and how it works are provided before taking on short projects related to that system’s maintenance.
I just feel a couple of projects are not explained well enough.
Bought this book to assist me in doing my own repairs.I consider myself a a hands on type of DIY’er and anyone with any kind of mechanical ability will greatly benefit from this book. With clear explanations and color pictures,this book will give almost anyone the confidence to tackle that repair or maintenance task you’ve been thinking of doing on your own.
No Repair & Maintenance book ever seems complete or truly useful in the garage, but this book is better than most and has great graphics. It’s a good read and you’ll learn a lot, but generally you won’t be able to go out in the garage after reading a chapter and actually fix something because this is an overview. As we know mechanical work is all about the details…..
Worth buying and reading to improve your general knowledge about motorcycle repair & maintenance.
