The guys that wrote this book really know what they are talking about. It is a great education, especially for young riders but experienced guys will learn a thing or two as well. I like that it has a mix of practical how - to advice and theoretical explanations. I'm a career mechanical engineer on automotive powertrains and I still learned a lot of stuff specific to motorcycles, and my 15 yr old learned a ton. Now he knows WHY we are doing all those maintenance jobs.This is not a shop manual, but study this book in addition to your model-specific shop manual, and you will know 99% of what you need to keep your bike in top condition and improve as a rider as well.If this book came attached to every new dirt bike, it would drastically shorten the learning curve for every rider.Jim in Green Bay.
Fantastically informative and detailed book. Great guide for someone exploring what dirt riding is all about, and the motorcycle maintenance involved. The section on how a performance 4-stroke engine is designed is particularly "over the top" in terms of knowledge transfer!
I have motor work done by this man and have been buying his books for the past few years. Top notch in every detail, pertinent information. States facts then gives his opinion. I find his opinion valuable because of his past career and his current level of workmanship on my motors. Good buy for valuable information for getting the most from your current four stroke, regardless of brand. He does go into specifics on the most popular selling bikes but keeps it fairly general too considering most of the applications can apply to any four stroke motor.
BEWARE! received lower quality chinese printed version. thin paper sheets wont last long, some photos difficult to make out. photos in the book have faint lines running through them all throughout the book. the one a Barnes books is better, dont that problem with that version. the second page sais printed in china, and final page sais printed in the usa. i must have received a knockoff version.
I'm sure there are those that already know this stuff(or think they do) but I found a wealth of info in here(and even learned several new tricks, while being an old dog)
This is the best book I have found on this subject. Beautiful clear photos and diagrams. Every dirt bike owner should read it for a better understanding of their machine, what makes it tick and how to fix it. Great birthday present or xmas stocking filler.
But not a ton more than that in my opinion. I found it to be mostly a superficial fly-by of the different topics. If I see "Performance Handbook" I expect to see a pretty detailed treatment of the technical aspects of the topic.
It has certain parts of working on Dirt Bike but it really don't show or say anything about rebuilding . It does have on changing or upgrading parts for the bikes . Not what I was looking for .
