Motorcycle mechanics: A Step-by-Step Guide to Motorcycle Maintenance and Repair (Mechanics Made Easy) Paperback – March 31, 2023

Im only about 40 pages in, but I can already say that this is the information I’ve been searching for. Everything regarding motorcycle engines on the internet is too convoluted. This is simple, straightforward and apart from some typos, pure gold. If you’re looking for the basics of engine function, this is your answer.

Good: I have a better general grasp of the mechanical systems of motorcycles, and this was the goal when I bought the book.Bad: This is a self-published book and it shows. There are no signs of it having been properly edited, but worst of all, my edition is an especially bad translation of (presumably) the Spanish original. Idioms and analogies do not translate well and are confusing. In some cases the text refers to diagrams using entirely different language, rendering those illustrations useless. Wherever the author refers to regulations, they appear to be specific to Spain/the EU. Something like that is usually addressed in a foreword or introduction, but maybe I missed it. I'm sure the author has real expertise in this subject, but sharing expertise in this way can lead to a fundamental misunderstanding of what he is trying to teach. I think I was able to work past these issues, but this book cost as much as one without the problems.Again, I *think* I have a better understanding of motorcycles, but I will need to get another book just to check.

...but it is a good survey of the different systems and parts of a motorcycle, what they do and how they work. Recommended if you're unfamiliar before grabbing the shop manual. Written (and self published) by a non-native English speaker, but clear and fluent.

This book is a Basic Outline of the Mechanics,it don'tgive alot of Details about Anything...KDB

This book on mechanics is seriously top-notch! The author have managed to take this complex stuff and serve it up in a way that's easy to swallow. It's like having a buddy who's a mechanic, but way more patient. Kudos for making it all feel doable and even kinda fun.
