Motorcycle Owner's Manual

by Hugo Wilson

An easy-to-use manual that shows you how to maximize your machine's performance and save money on garage bills. Covering a wide range of bikes, from cruisers to choppers to scooters, the book teaches you all the essential skills you need to get your machine running at its best and keep it on the road. It complements your machine-specific manual by giving a clear, practical overview of all the basic work you can do on a motorcycle, in a well-organized, comprehensible form. Clear, step-by-step color photographs with easy-to-follow instructions walk you through everything from simple adjustments to complex repairs, making the process accessible to novice riders but detailed enough for experienced mechanics to learn from.

The text is written by Hugo Wilson, editor of Classic Bike and author of The Ultimate Motorcycle Book and Encyclopedia of the Motorcycle. In The Motorcycle Owner's Manual, he focuses on the practical, day-to-day details of bicycle ownership, but brings a true motorcycle lover's mentality (and experience) to the page.

About the author

Hugo Wilson is the editor of Classic Bike, the world’s biggest selling classic motorcycle magazine. He lives in the north east of England, rather than London, as you might expect, and presides over a well-written and beautifully designed monthly. When not exercising his formidable editorial skills, Wilson rides a Moto Morini 3½—another clue that this is a man of excellent taste.

[Jeff · Rating 5 out of 5]

Typical idea-per-spread style from DK publishing. Meaning it never goes too deep but has some excellent touchpoints on each function of a bike, with information that's useful today.
