How to Repair Your Motorcycle By Charles Everitt
Motorcycles are all about speed and freedom. At least until a mechanical breakdown occurs. And nothing cramps your biking style like being dependant on an expensive motorcycle mechanic for every basic repair and adjustment.
It’s time to declare your independence from high hourly shop rates and be master of your machine. With clear, easy-to-follow instructions for the most common repairs and maintenance areas, plus 50 do-it-yourself projects, How To Repair Your Motorcycle introduces readers to the rudiments of motorcycle maintenance and repair. Illustrated chapters cover each of your bike’s main systems—electrical, fuel, suspension, engine, driveline, etc. followed by straightforward procedures that will add years to your motorcycle’s life and save you thousands in the process.
How To Repair Your Motorcycle also includes troubleshooting charts and helpful tips and tricks. From preventive maintenance to keeping your bike looking new, this indispensable volume gives you the tools needed to keep your machine in top condition.
