Customer Reviews

Decent book but some experience required!
This is a pretty solid book on motorcycle repair and maintenance, with plenty of colour photographs and illustrations to back up the text.
It is probably better suited ( in my opinion) to people with a little prior knowledge and experience, than the complete novice.

The For Dummies book on Auto Repair( although designed more for cars) is better for those with no previous knowledge. I don't think they do a book specifically on Motorcycle Repair but a lot of the stuff in the Auto guide by them is applicable to Motorcycles, particularly diy servicing and general maintenance.

I know that when I started buying these types of books it was with servicing and maintenance in mind, so presumably that's what many other buyer's will be looking for as well.

This is a very good book for those who can already carry out basic mechanical work on motorcycles, and who want to tackle more complex issues.
