Motorcycle Owners Manual by Hugo Wilson Although a very general guide to various routine maintenance items for a motorcycle, this book is invaluable in educating the first-time motorcycle owner as to the major components and breakdown of such on a motorcycle. Illustrative pictures showing the internal parts of the clutch, brakes (both drum and disk), two-stroke and four-stroke engines, drive train, transmission, forks, shocks, frame, etc. are invaluable in understanding the function of these parts. I use the book to educate folks on doing the TCLOK and PreRide Checks. It also helps to explain the various terms that their mechanic may use when discussing a maintenance procedure or problem on their motorcycles. |
