Synopsis

Motorcycle owners are very special people-unlike car drivers, they have always traditionally preferred to repair, service and maintain their own machines. There are several reasons why this tradition flourishes. The money saving aspect is a factor, of course, but most important of all is the very close contact that every motorcyclist has with his bike. This is what instils a sense of pride and personal responsibility for its care and smooth running. THE COLLINS MOTORCYCLE WORKSHOP has been created by experts who thoroughly understand this attitude. Whatever kind of bike you own, you'll find that you're able to keep it in first class running order with the help of this invaluable book. Practical step-by-step instructions and clear colour photographs make working on your machine a positive pleasure - even for someone who has limited mechanical experience. Basic procedures are explained first, so that the beginner can proceed with confidence to more complex tasks. As well as routine maintenance and servicing know-how, we include advice on how to improve performance, also how to diagnose and cure common faults. Worldwide variations in bike design are taken into account throughout. Here are just some of the subjects covered: * 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines explained * basic tools * caring for spark plugs, batteries * Maintaining and overhauling the points * adjusting the clutch * caring for drum and disc brakes * stripping a carburettor * checking electrics * solving starting problems - all in see-at- a-glance detail
