I didn’t know if it was going to be any good. i read the reviews and decided to get it. I’m very happy i did. There’s a lot to take in but it’s all good stuff to know when it comes to knowing more about your motorcycle.
Rating: 5 / 5
clearly written, the author gives a great big-picture view of how different motorcycle systems work, which system your bike probably uses, and how to maintain or tweak them. i feel much more confident with my knowledge of how my bike works and how to work on my bike myself. he details work enough to let readers have an idea of what they may be getting into with any particular job so they know whether or not they’re up to it or if it’s something that should be taken in (to the shop) for. this book has already saved me lots of money and given me a better understanding of my bike — i’d recommend it to anyone on two wheels.

This book isn’t going to turn you into a master motorcycle mechanic. You want that, go to school for it. That said, this book is a must have if you want to do your own maintenance work on your motorcycle thus saving you money from not having to pay labor to a repair shop. Pair this book with the maintenance manual for your specific motorcycle and you’re in business. The only thing I was kinda comfortable doing was changing my oil. After reading this book I’ve gained confidence to do so much more. I realized my belt was too tight so I was able to remove the back wheel, adjust my belt put the back wheel back on, make sure it was level, change brake pads and brake fluid, replace my front pulley, change radiator fluid, take apart the front end to install risers and re-run all the wires to the handlebars, etc. There’s not much I’m not comfortable doing. I credit this book to giving me the confidence to do the work myself and save cash. Now my motorcycle is customized by me and maintained by me making it truly “my ride.”

I bought this book for my boyfriend who just bought a motorcycle. He said so far it has been very useful and it reads pretty easily and clearly, though he said the technical parts take some extra concentration. I’d guess you would have to be slightly familiar with automotive mechanics for this book to be the most useful. Still 5 stars though because it provides a lot of helpful information to a wide audience.
