 Rating:  - By far the best "Do it yourself maintenance" book.This book is by far the best I've ever seen and better than I hoped for. It explains with color pictures how things work and why along with tips for getting the job done. Although this book is great for beginners it is also good for intermediately skilled do it your self folks with its in depth explanations. Rating: - A remarkably well-balanced bookWriting a book on a subject like this, with tens of makes and hundreds of models on the market, is a balancing task. Mr. Zimmermann has made it remarkably well. His examples are very carefully chosen, he always explains the basic principles, and he writes in such a relaxed manner, that you feel "at home" regardless of the make and mode of your own bike. A very good complement to the service manual of your own bike - this with this book you are not stuck even if the quality of your manual ...

You will still need an owners manual for your specific bike (for manufacturer recomendations, IDing replacement parts, etc.) but this Essential Guide is a big plus for helping to diagnose problems and a good guideline for "how to" kind of jobs before you actually get your hands greasy. It is written in a casual, easy to understand language, ... Read More Rating: - Excellent Book!As a novice in motorcycles but with skills to do household repairs, I was very interested in learning more about motorcycle internals and repair. Th1s book taught me both - from how a 4-stroke engine works to the internals of a carburetor. I taught me how to repair, tune, and upkeep my motorcycle, in a clear, easy to read book. Now, it is my favorite bedtime book and I keep re-reading a few pages every night. Can't recommend it highly enough, it's that good. Browse for similar items by category:
